As long as we win, I don't care how it's done.

Getting more and more difficult to find things to ***** about.

That's pretty funny

Thought the crowd filled in nicely mid-way through the first half. Thought it could've been louder though. The put back dunk by Williams was incredible. He may beat out Lee as the best jumper on the team. We definitely didn't play to our potential tonight, but still got the W. I'm looking forward to Saturday's game.

Oh, and it was pretty nice to be able to buy popcorn from my seat.

Garrison Brooks was at the game as well and seemed to have a good time. Saw him clapping and cheering on multiple occasions. He posted a picture with Coach Haase on twitter after the game.

FIU is going to give us big trouble in Miami.

I get what you're saying. And if UAB was in contention for an at-large bid the selection committee would get what you're saying. There are things this team needs to improve on and that's your take. Others are simply happy they are winning. UAB consistently plays inconsistent against inferior competition. Or maybe UAB's talent isn't head and shoulders above CUSA programs.

What UAB does well is share the ball. They don't rush shots and they are very unselfish. What gets them in trouble is they will overpass which has lead to turnovers or passing up good shots to take more difficult shots. The biggest question from my viewpoint is who's the leader of this team on the court? That is clearly lacking with this team who is still young and loses focus during certain points of games. It doesn't bother me if UAB blows a double digit leads early in the game but it does bother me when they blow a big lead late in the game.

I don't know that this team has a designated "leader" on the floor but HCJH has mentioned several times that he trusts the team collectively to make good decisions especially late in the game.

Attendance: 6664 I believe the reports of our attendance surge "death" has been exaggerated...
