Turning the corner...

 

[AE 87]

53.8% free throw shooting as a team

some things never change

But we won!!! Pastner won't lose 3 in a row!!!

 

[Peacone36]

However, if anything could be said for this program in the last 3-5 years we always seem to win one game a year we have absolutely no business winning.

Mhmm

We lose this game under Gregory. Nice coaching job.

 

[LargeFO]

^lulz.

Good W, though. We are a lot different when Okogie and Jackson play under control and steadier.

 

[jbix80]

YES, YES, YES! I don't know if CPast is the difference, but we lost every one of these close games the past couple years. Great road win!

I wonder what Rothstein will come up with now. I sure his ego won't dare allow him to reconsider (jacka**). VCU sure got well didn't they?

 

[kg01]

Jackets are undefeated when kg04 wears his navy/gold baby socks. Wore them for the uGA game and tonite.

Coincidence? Nope.

Seriously though, great win tonite. Fun yet heart -wrenching game to watch.

 

[kg01]

Mhmm

I hope you stub your toe.

This may have already been mentioned, but on CJP's radio show he said Tadric had his best days of practice this week. I guess he was right.

 

[MWBATL]

Well, *that* was a surprise. I kept expecting us to fold and fade, but we somehow managed to hang on. Not sure it means much beyond what Peacone has already observed....I guess we'll see soon enough if any corners have been turned.

By the way, have we brought Hewitt back to coach our FT shooting or what? It is miserable!

 

[lv20gt]

Perfect type of win. A win where there was a lot of teaching moments.

The best thing I noticed is that this team showed absolutely no hesitation when VCU made their runs. CJP allowed them to play through it and they responded. This team may not have the talent that it needs to but I think the mentality is already there.

 

[jeffgt14]

Great win! I would say we beat the officials too at the end but we probably would have missed the free throws anyways. We really need to improve free throws or we'll lose a few games that we have no business winning but are somehow in it anyways. They played hard but that whole overtime was incredibly sloppy by both teams. I'm sure CJP knows this. He didn't look too happy even with the win.

 

[Fatmike91]

The only thing that would have made me happier would be to have our freshman on the floor in the last 5 mins and overtime.

This is a legit win on the road against a good team.

I am excited about GT basketball for the first time in a decade.

Explains why he was pounding his fist on the table with 1 second to go and the game (almost) in hand.

Wow! Team played hard!! (was going to say well, but htey have lots of room for improvement.)

[OldJacketFan]

egotistical jacka**, I figured he would come up with SOMETHING after tweeting out VCU would get well! Thanks for posting his CYA tweet!

 

[Fatmike91]

Anyone who knows basketball knows winning at VCU is a legit road win. This guy is a clown.
