Free throws.

Bryce had his rest. Now he needs to take us home.

I had thought that if the players didn’t quit on
Lutz that we would have initial indication of Lutz ability to keep teams together. I am impressed with Lutz ability to help a talent mediocre team compete.

SMU is doubling Bryce. He'll need to find the open man.

Our small guards need to stop dribbling it in to the 7 footer

Anytime Ousmane helps on the ball, SMU makes us pay with their big guy.

 

[zone2poke]

Good game so far.

 

[zone2poke]

OUSMANE.

IMO, first-year head coaches should always get a pass. This team was thrown together—Lutz had no time to recruit. He basically had no choice but to build a roster from, well, leftovers.

I'm excited to see if Lutz has the ability to resurrect a program buried in the deepest, darkest pits of an abyss, with no light to guide its way. Let's hope he can save this program.

I will admit that I'm a bit perplexed by the current recruiting class—two bigs who are not offensive threats and a shooting guard labeled a "sharpshooter."

It appears that Lutz is done recruiting high school players, meaning he's now focused on the transfer portal. Hopefully, he hits the jackpot.

And to be honest, regarding my first paragraph, head coaches and assistants are becoming irrelevant to recruits. It's all about the money. I can't stand what's happening to college basketball (and football). UNC head coach is right... He said coaches don't matter anymore. Recruits will chase the money and will be the deciding factor.

Good edit.

Good guy to foul.

Foul. Don’t let them shoot a 3

Foul the big guy, if he's on the floor.

 

[Stargazer]

Good grief, Thompson. That 3 point shot wrote Steve Miller's song "I'll make this basketball fly like an eagle, to the sea. Fly bball and let this 3 point air ball set you free"

 

[zone2poke]

Good ball movement from the in-bound. Nicely done. 3.6 seconds left.

 

[zone2poke]

Woo hoo!!!

 

[Heart Smiles]

Woohoo!!

 

[JRod]

Good win!

Love seeing our guys high-fiving the fans as they go into the tunnel. Good times.
