Big ups to Laranega and especially Wong. They played tough. Really impressed with us from the 10 minute mark to finish. Moses took it on the chin today and I’m sure he knows it, it happens to everyone. Howard backed him up and we rallied. I’m absolutely thrilled right now with the ugly win, bad teams can’t win ugly. We can.

I wanna barf!

LET'S GO JACKETS!

Yikes. Hated every second of that game, but good guys prevail.

Seems like the exact theme of every game the last few weeks. We build a decent lead and then do everything we can to give it away in the last 3 minutes but still walk away with a W. Not used to that. Maybe this is what winning feels like?

That is the theme of literally one game the last few weeks.

9 min per foul is a new personal best for Howard, and we needed those minutes today!

Survive & advance, but man, our end of game awareness & execution is just not very good when we have the lead. We mange end of game scenarios better when we are trailing it seems like.

Need to get the ball to Jose. Devoe can’t be our press breaker.

Until you’re Gonzaga and winning by 20, yes.

Wow, what a stressful game and finish. But a tournament win is a tournament win! Glad Jose is OK, he is a warrior. Saved the game for us by saving that errant pass. Go jackets!

Ugly last 2+ minutes especially with the turnovers.

Kudos to Howard with some hard minutes, not a lot of points, but some good play on the D side.

I don’t trust usher with the ball in his hands as inbounds guy either

A win is a win, but this is becoming a trend. I don't think we've looked really good since the Va Tech game.

Uggh, the officiating today. Totally took Wright out of the game. Turns out if you allow the PoY to be mugged repeatedly he's not much of a factor.

In case anybody missed the critical scoring outcome - we came out of the right side of a 69 again today. Once you go 69, you always win.

No excuse for that play. We have 3 PGs and 2 other ballhandlers available and can't get the ball 10 feet from our inbounds

 

[awbuzz]

"Survive & Advance" is what I told SWMBO as our last turn over and then Miami's last shot failed. A monument later the announcers made the same comment about tournament play.

 

[awbuzz]

Assume Jose's knee is being iced right now!

 

[awbuzz]

CPJ says he was hard on USH during halftime and that Ush took it "professionally" and came out well.
