Feels like every time we put in the Harris/Lomax tandem, our lead goes to ****.

Baugh on number three is a big mismatch for them but no, let Tyler handle him. Sigh...

Multiple unfortunately...you might go an entire season of watching HS basketball and not see that, and we do it twice in 5 minutes

We're playing pretty well overall, just need to do it for the entire 40 minutes.

Why does Harris play so much? He is not that good. He’s basically a 5’8 wing player.

Damn, torn Achilles is nothing I wish on anyone. I strained mine 10 years ago and it's still tender at times.

They have 7 more shot attempts midway through first half..
We are shooting 50%

It would be different if he contributed consistently.

Body leverage and aggressiveness, you get good lean driving, sometimes you take the slide.
It's interesting, I've taken a more philosophical take on this year. We are changing the culture here in interesting ways. This season will not live up to expectations, which might have been too high to begin with.
But, we are consistently playing hard, we have an identity, we have talent. We lack experience and a few parts. But the talent and heart is there.
I'm going to enjoy this team and drop the expectations. We may not make the tournament, we may be an NIT team. But they haven't cheated me on effort or heart. They've poured it out.
At the core of college sports, even more than the wins and losses, is honor and effort.
This team has that in spades.

Feel awful for Akok. Damn it.
Torn achilles is a terrible injury. Such an absolute shame.

Harris driving the lane is comical.
