Need to put our best defender and play help defense on Hall. If he goes off, I don't like our chances, but if we can keep him under 20, think we have a shot. This may be a game we consider going small for defensive purposes.

From the way I understand it, if we win tonight we are guaranteed a top 2 seed in the tournament. If we lose.....all bets are off.

Insane that on Wednesday morning we were #1, and a single loss could bump us to #5 or #6. Would really like to claim that #2 spot considering our depth, huge game tonight.
Biggest of the season.

If we win, I could see Georgia Southern losing on purpose to make sure we don’t get #1

That would require them to think.

4-10 FT shooting. We could have a comfortable lead.

It’s been evident Luke has been working on his FTs. He’s 21-29 (72.4%) in his last 3 games with most misses coming on tired legs at the end of the game.

Hall and Drone are pretty good. TX St plays good defense, too. They appear to suffer from poor FY shooting as well.

Well, it’s frustrating that we lost a 9 point lead, but if you’d told me we were down 33-34 at half, can’t say I’d be that upset.

Yes, they are getting in foul trouble. You’re either applying the pressure or feeling the pressure. Take it to ‘em.

The female announcer isn’t bad, the other guy is ok but annoying at times. Refs better than usual.

They’re fair. That’s all one can ask.

I thought some folks said free throws are not important? LOL. People should go look at box scores of games that were less than 10 points and then see how the losing team did at the free throw line. It is amazing how many teams who shoot below 70 percent at the free throw line would have won if they could hit closer to 80+. Hope we don't lose this game by single digits and see that we missed 10+ free throws.
