Now imagine if it would’ve happened in the NCAA tournament. Now you know how NC State felt when we fouled them for a half hour in 2014 The glory and agony of college basketball.

I think his poise and leadership is important at the end. Until our younger guys mature, he probably should be in at the end. Who else would you have in? I'm with you. We had enough of a lead to leave him in. We just need to have a couple of inbound plays to get the ball to the right player. Let French look for the o board and defend at this point.

3star_recruit Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 So we're not going to get the offensive juggernaut we thought we were getting. But bully ball is working -- when we're the bullies. The artist in me is upset by this development but the fan in me says "just win baby." Goodwin and French are our best players. This is the way it has to be until they graduate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude makes 35% from the FT line. No way in any universe he should be on the court in obvious FT situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 oh well. 6-1 with a road win over a P5. keep getting better. We ALL knew this game wouldnt be pretty even before it started. That was the first road game for 4 of our main contributing players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing a competitive game against auburn and beating k state is about as soon as I see it I see it happening when they beat Auburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianstl Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 Winning your first game on the road against an ACC opponent with a young team is pretty damn good no matter how ugly it was at points.

3star_recruit Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Coach Ford speaking at length in postgame interview about Thatch's struggle with illness, how he doesn't want to put Fred in a bad spot and how desperately we need him. Jeez, with how well we're already playing halfcourt defense, how dominant can this defense be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are better than Richmond and Auburn didn't beat them by 20. Auburn has won by physically dominating their opponents. I think they will win, but I think we match up against them pretty well. Littlebill likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufanskip Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 A 10 point win on the road against an ACC team with freshman playing 72 min in their 1st road game of their college careers.
