If IU would have played defense the whole game like they did during their 20-4 run,…..and hit their free throws we win by 20 going away.

Auburn not even 2 weeks ago. UCONN earlier this year.

Then say that... not the thing that didn't happen with this roster. Lol

Ware’s worst game of the season. We had them in foul trouble all game and did nothing with it. 

[DChoosier 8,476]

As bad as this feels, for many reasons, a “L” would have been worse.

Horrid overall but we got a W due to a 20-4 run to end it.  I’ve read many comparisons to Archie teams but while this was a thousands miles from a good effort the Archie teams would have rolled up in a ball and wet themselves when they were down this much.

Just win, baby! ~ Al Davis

Shame we had to steal one at home against Morehead State. Lucky as hell to leave with a win. Avoided a bad loss on the resume.

I'd like to see that this team is actually capable of winning a game by 15+ ... hopefully vs. Northern Alabama. 

Gonna flush this one and move on, personally. Yuck.

16 of 28 from the stripe. Got to fix that!

It's year 3 and hasn't been fixed yet, it probably won't be.

[LamarCheeks 18,996]

I honestly thought the fans would storm the court!

Never in doubt. True fans believed. 

Tough night for the “I told you so and I was right about Archie” crowd true fans. 
 

Biggest question is does that crew appreciate sarcasm?

 This was a complete lack of effort game.  The lazy “we got these guys” until they punch you in the mouth game. 

But It’s a win fellas. Time to move on.

If I’m looking for the smallest silver linings, I’d say Mbako played hard the second half and came up with a couple nice hustle plays. Nice to see from him.  
 

Otherwise burn this game tape. Never speak of this game again.

Ya think?

OldFart posted in the Northern Alabama thread that Morehead State beat North Alabama by 9 a few weeks back... probably more of this on Thursday (unless Woody make the team run until they puke, then run some more).

And then spend a couple hours shooting free throws.

I feel like a somewhat solution... Player faster. Much faster. For a team that sucks so much at shooting, we love playing half our offense and playing slow... Which only helps the other team because they can just sit back knowing we won't hit anything from outside. If you have to start Walker over Reneau, do it. Bring Reneau in for Ware and play Reneau more at the 5. No matter what, the offense needs to be WAY faster. Faster actions. Our screens and cuts are slow. Our guards catch the ball and just wait for half assed screens. Crean had this same issue in Vonlehs lone season... That teams offense was bad... But even that team shot 34.4% on 16 attempts.. 10 years ago. For as bad as we felt that offense was... This offense might be worse. Woody gotta change something.

THAT's why we call him "coach". SMH

I'm not sure tonight qualifies as a full point in the win column.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,679]

Wouldn't be surprised if Reneau is seen in the boot this week.
