What this is about is continuing to play like we want to win: hard work, teamwork, switching on defense, fighting for rebounds, diving into the stands. We've done a good job of keeping Basile outside. I'm sure Wrong will get hot and make a run in the 2nd half. We have to maintain the same focus for another 20 and not let anything bother us.
Winning at any level is all about team. AD is our secret weapon but it's encouraging to watch Johnson, Noah, Willie (of course) fighting so hard to win little battles.

Yup that’ll build Sylla’s confidence. One bad pass he couldn’t handle, and why would you throw it to him in the corner, and bad judgement putting it on the floor and trying to back down 00. So we replace him with a 5 yr. Guy that can’t play D gets pushed out of position and gets called for a hold off of the ball and they get a new possession and score. Good half so far hope we keep hustling and the threes keep falling.

This is the definition of really stupid basketball! Let’s get a 26 point lead and then sit obit until they catch up. Down to the end of every shot clock and then turn it over.

Matt Johnson was special today. Way to play to win, Matt.

Where’s that annoying WSU fan who seems to usually have nothing better to do than post on other HL team message boards?

Big win! It's the result that matters.

Big win! It's the result that matters. Yup big win doesn’t matter how stupid you are getting there. I would think after 4 years we would learn to keep our mouths shut and keep doing what got us there. Press did change it but I do not remember a TO to the press.We would just get it across and then sit on it until the clock was down then force it. That wasn’t how we built a 26 pt. Lead it was by passing and attacking.

Big win, got interesting down the stretch. Wright State kept grinding and would not go away. Defense did a great job containing Basile. Shooting was strong until Wright State set up the full court press. Overall good team effort, team came out strong on both ends of the court.

Seems like our defense changed in the second half from the smothering zone in the first half to a man to man in the second. Not sure why, I thought our defensive intensity was much better in the first. But not to be picky, a win is a win and it was a great team effort.

Chris Brandon has 3 fouls in the first half. Sound familiar? I really thought he had a chance to be special. BTW, NKU is not that good.
We have actually been doing a good job of keeping our key guys out of foul trouble lately. Remember, we're doing this with Akec.
Hard to believe that 11-6 (if we win out) will probably not get us into the Top 4. Covid really screwed us.

How was the crowd or was there a crowd? I’d say maybe five or six hundred fans at best. Wright State brought 20 or so fans. The DeLaSalle promotion resulted in two representatives from the high school connecting with I believe three current students. I bet official attendance will be around 1500. Covid doesn’t help, but other schools in our league (e.g., Oakland) continue to be significantly more active on the marketing & promotions front. Need to do more and better going forward.

COVID did not screw us. The Horizon League Commissioner screwed us by not rescheduling games. We were #crewed out of 5 home games against feasonably low level teams. I hate this conference!
