Game Thread - Miami, 2/29

[Deleted member 2897]

If we’re healthy and Moses doesn’t run the point, we can win by 14-18.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see us win by a possession or two. If I were betting on it, I’d probably take Miami +5.5 but I still think we win a nail bitter.

I never bet on GT sports, one way or the other. You think we don't have a chance, they win. You think there's no way we can lose, we do. Just stay away...

This. This is the best philosophy on betting GT sports.

We seems to play better when we wear uniforms that look like GT not Oregon. Somebody needs to tell the other 2 teams.

Up 20, down by 2. Bad shots, multiple turnovers. Can't snap out of it.

We did end up snapping out of it just in time

Well that was exciting.

Symbolic win for our team, we're able to overcome a bad 15mins and come up with the win.

4/30... Combined 3 point shooting... Both teams made a pair. Ugly

Became a wild ride after going up by 20.

Thirty minutes of very good ball. Ten minutes of bad ball. Great win though! Really been protecting the home court!

Banks had 13 pts., 14 rebs. Thought he played with tremendous energy.

Anyways, great first half. Overall the second half was basically broken down into 4 minute stretches of Good, Terrible, Terrible, Okay, Great. 8-0 run over the last 4 minutes to seal the game. Good to see us finish both halves strong.

This game was won because of hustle. We had a hard time shooting 3s, and saw a lot of close up looks not go in, and left quite a few points at the line. But 12 steals and 18 offensive boards gave us enough chances to win.

While it sucks to blow a 20 point lead, earlier this year we had issues closing out games where we played well enough to have a chance. Tonight with all the momentum going against us we found a way to close this game out. Hopefully we use this as a learning opportunity to not take the foot off the gas, but it certainly feels better to have learning opportunities come during wins than losses.

Really need to find a way to get better performances out of our bench though. After this year you have to think that Maxwell, Meka, Gigiberia, and Sjolund will have ample opportunity to earn minutes in reserve at least. We have to be able to go more than 1 deep to our bench at a time without things falling apart.

I would say more like 22 minutes of very good ball, 5 minutes of so-so ball, and 13 ,minutes of terrible ball

Me: My heart, my heart.
SWMBO (She who must be obeyed): I'm dialing 911.
Me: Hold off until the end of the game.
Good win regardless of blowing the lead. They showed savvy and determination and won the game. Banks s/b player of the game with Alvarado. Now take me to the ER.

GT is a 5.5 point favorite.

Back door cover!!!


Great ending to the game. The trip where we went down the court and got 4 fouls and 2 points really stopped the bleeding. Way to hold on for the win...
