A win is good but we've got a lot of work to do.

Mullins to the line. You can do it. One down. Missed the second but hold on 72-69. Thank goodness for Barnhizer.
Ok, thank god, now we can start a thread about how that was absolutely gross and we need to do better as we continue to pursue our goals, which sustained only very minimal damage tonight
Brooks Barnhizer is incredibly good

glad we won and obviously would rather win but close wins against bad teams hurt you in the NET rankings...
Whew. Gutted out another won but man I gotta take a shower. This is too nerve racking, but hey we won. Now let's improve. Play better D and shoot the ball better.
Nichol bomb for the Win! Nice to have Barney back. Friday night should be rockin.
Barnhizer may have gotten two of his first three shots blocked, but he didn't look rusty to me.
And if I'm Brian Butch's significant other, I'm a little nervous, because Butch is IN LOVE with Barnhizer. He's what college basketball is all about.

I don’t think anyone expected Barney to be this ready in his first game back from injury. Without him we would lose tonight to a Montana State team that shot lights out, or so it seemed (41% from three compared to our 25%). Mart with 22, Barney with 20, Leach with 12.
Really happy for Ty. Hit two 3's in a row then a gigantic steal to help seal the win. Thought in the 1st half his shooting woes were starting to bother him, but finished strong in clutch time.
I was bummed he didn't get a heat check after hitting those back to back 3's but he sure contributed in other ways.
The game thread is so awesome the day after the game.
There's always insightful observations, but man were there some dumb comments during the game.
Gordie, thanks for smackin some fools around a little.
A guy who shoots 35% from outside the arc is going to miss 65% of his 3-pointers....
If he misses he sucks, if he makes one he's awesome. Duh Dee Doo Duh!
Anytime the opposing team scores, I'll rant at the Northwestern player who was closest to the shooter! Dumbie Doo Dah!

I will admit I have a lot of heart-on-my-sleeve or "vibes" posts during games, but I try not to be overcritical of specific players or call for them to be benched because of a couple of bad plays. I did point out Nicholson's back-to-back airball free throws, but that's only because I've never seen that happen before.
Oh you have nothing to worry about. Who cares what I say anyhow?
Nicholson shooting free throws directly out of bounds was pathetic and honestly, makes me question some of my assumptions...
but then he did have that nice left-handed putback which required some skill.
Maybe he's just "special." I'm kidding. I really like what he brings to the table, but he is one frustrating "Jolly Green Giant."
It was good to see him get angry. Angry Matt plays better than Happy Matt.
Despite the rather inconsistent free throw shooting, Matt remains my favorite player. Why? He remains the only one singing the national anthem.
I always liked him because when NU beat Purdue (which time?) fans rushed the court after the game and while most players were celebrating with the fans, he just quietly walked over to the Purdue players and shook their hands like he's supposed to. Does that make him aloof? Maybe, but it's also class.
Game threads are for sharing the emotions, fun, and passion of watching a game together. That involves saying dumb shit from the heart in the heat of it.
Then you calm down and let your brain take back full control and think about what you've seen.
So there really is no reason to actually reason with / debate what anyone says until after the game - they can / will say anything and then retract it later. Guess I did not read that in the bylaws.
Game threads are for being emotional. Season analysis, rational.
But I don’t blame you. When you can barely beat Montana State at home, it was more than a couple of bad plays!
That is correct. Please contact the club secretary to have your copy of the bylaws renewed.
