The scoring droughts this team can go on are unbelievable. Over 10 minutes without a single field goal. Scored our 50th point with 16:24 left on the clock after a 3-pointer to get us to 52. Didn’t score 60 until there was 4:19 left. Took over 12 minutes to score 8 points. How does that happen? How do we score 70 in 30 minutes and THREE total points in the other 10 minutes of the game?

There’s been insane stretches like that every game this year. Glad to take home W’s but it drives you crazy to watch

Actually I saw the tourny director tell Stautamire he had to miss a bunch of shots to make the game closer, or they won't invite us back.

Gapare is a freak athletically and I like him out there with Ndongo, but he’s gotta be better rotating on the pick and roll. He’s just not very disciplined on defense and also needs to stop fouling shooters.

Hey at least we scored 70 in 30 minutes. It's been awhile since we had a team that was capable of that. Gotta look at the glass as half full. We can go 10 minutes and only score three points and still win.

Wow, gritty win after blowing lead. Not unexpected given the time change and also how few players we had in. Only played 8.

Who's favored in the game against Nevada tomorrow? Doesn't matter since we seem to make most games close. But find way to win.

We all are.

I was getting ready to talk about the schedule but only getting Miami and UNC once and having already split with Puke at worst, if we split with Virginia and Clemson this could be a fun season

Much like in FB, you can feel the change in culture and competitiveness with this team. There've been ups and downs, but clearly, the trend is significantly upwards.

Haven't read through everything from last night, finally got to watch the game. Well it was a heck of a roller coaster ride, but we pulled it off.

Kudos to those on the east coast and stayed up and watched.

This game showed the high ceiling the team has with a great 1st half. The game also exposed how poorly the team can play as well with a horrible 10 minute period in the 2nd half. That the team found a way to win is a very good sign.

They are not fully in sync yet as a team and will have to learn how to adjust better when teams decide to force them to shoot from the perimeter by sagging into the lane.

Still a good win for the good guys!
