Anyone else seeing the clear pushing in the back on my rebounds sending out guys flying?

Even giving UTSA a ton of credit for bringing it today, the results of today win or lose are why i have no confidence in this team’s ability to string together four wins in four days. We gotta make sure we get a bye.

Playing like **** again since jelly came back. Bad coaching.

Why bring him back in the game in the middle of a run? He is a net negative for this team today

the epitome of what people complain about. Jelly sits, we cut it to 3. He comes back in, takes 2 really quick 3s, and 20 seconds later we're down 7

You put a player who is already BAD on defense back in the game with 4 fouls in the middle of a run where we clawed back bc of DEFENSE. You’re playing 5 on 4 at that point. Couple that with the terrible shots he’s taking. Bad coaching

Exactly. He is great for some things and really hurts us at others.

And there is the great.

Jelly putting on his back. Scoring last five points.

No need to put jelly in on defense here.

Say what you will about our shortcomings we have played a hell of a 2nd half against a team that probably played its best game of the season today

We played a very good second half, no doubt.

Man we got fortunate they called a foul before jelly stepped out of bounds

Just win baby!!!

Man I gotta tip my hat to UTSA. Runners played a whale of a game. And proud of our guys for gutting out an important dub on a day where it would have been easy to fold.

What a game!

Shot the lights out in the 2nd half.

Only 9 turnovers.

Ty Brewer, Buffen, and Jelly had great second halves.

Can’t believe we didn’t choke that one away. We did everything to choke it away after going up 6 but got lucky on buggs missing the three.

Congrats on having to claw and fight and play to the last second against one of the worst teams in d1. Yay! Go team! This is the Bartow standard

Got to hand it to UTSA they played like the #1 team & wanted the win. We played just enough to win.

Man, that’s a bit harsh. First, don’t care what their record is, UTSA didn’t play like one of the worst teams in d1 today and that wasn’t just because we were not at our best. They played very well. That is going to happen in conference play. We gutted one out and got a huge win as far as securing a bye. That is all that matters today

Great second half. I'll take the W and be happy. A win is a win is a win as Gene used to say after one of these.

Absolute facts. I get that this team is frustrating and hard to watch at times, but we played a very good second half and found a way to win. Good teams lose to bad teams in all conferences every year. It’s tough to bring it every night, and this team could have easily quit multiple times tonight. I’m glad they don’t have the attitude some of our fans do and found a way to dig in and fight hard.
