OK, Trojans. What are we made of?

Ya'll yell loud. Don't save any voice for Saturday. I'm bringing reinforcements, so go ahead and blow your vocal cords tonight.

Well, at least we didn't get beaten by 30.

DeVonte had zero assists. Will had 4 points. We got beat on the boards. They shot more FTs than we did.
Pretty well sums it up.

Wn is hurt.

We played with heart and just got beat.

They have some nice looking players. They could shoot and knew how to run their offense.

I dont see them getting beat. Everyone is playing for second at this point.

If Will is hurt, the rest of the season could be ugly.

If we played reasonably well, we would have won tonight. Hunter was in foul trouble all night. We contained Harrow pretty well. However, WN was clearly limited. We have no one who can hit an outside shot. They had a scrub come off the bench get 5 offensive rebounds, because he wanted them more, and also had a key steal. I'm not saying we can beat them in the tournament. But, we could have beaten them tonight. They didn't play particular well, but we had no one who could help us take advantage with Will hurting. Western will play a lot better on Saturday, the GaSt did tonight. I thought we had a better chance to win tonight, because Western will come in at full strength looking for revenge.

Not much of a crowd, evidently.

No, all the kids in the endzone and parents left at half time. The crowd was like the Carter Malaise of the 70s, just kind of there. Bottom line to me was Georgia State is a lot better than us.

That always pisses the hell out of me. The endzone was literally filled before halftime. Once the performance was over, they all left except for a few stragglers. At least the students don't all leave after halftime on homecoming like they used to.

Sounds like Isler may have been Player of the Game.

We were playing money-conference talent. If Will had been full speed, who knows, but nobody picked up the slack offensively. Sounds like Leroy had a great game on defense, and they definitely did not score like they are accustomed to, but they just have another level of talent. For a couple of years.

Gsu has reinforcements coming too. They signed one guy that could have sign with bigger schools and they have another guy that is a good scorer. If they make the dance they probably will have some more good signees during the late period.

Good tournament press always help recruiting. And it is good for the Belt. You need a marquee team.

But why can't it be us?

"Leroy Isler’s lockdown of Georgia State star R.J. Hunter was epic. Hunter finished with 14 points but that total gives the impression that he was more involved than he really was. UALR used Isler to try and no catch Hunter, who seemed to plead with officials every time down the court for a foul against Isler."
