A nice start and a pleasant surprise to begin the new year!
Don't tell Sandy. She'll want to lock Shrew up for the next 10 years.......
For a few years MBB was appointment viewing. In the holiday malaise and with the Covid pause I didn't realize we were playing. Watched the last 8 minutes. Lots of similarities to what we are used to...a long scoring drought...some missed free throws...but the difference is a W vs IU. We have found ways to lose this game for many years. Today we won. Good for Coach Shrew!
We only miss two free throws in the entire game, but you saw those two free throws. I wouldn't watch 8 minutes of one of game and make broad generalizations like that
Recorded it and just finished watching. Lundy is the Clifford of the basketball team. Still lots of soft passes, lazy d and questionable decisions. When he is on though, the team is very tough to beat.
Still need some more penetration to the basket on o and hopefully harrar doesn't have a nagging leg issue, glad he got back in

This is not a start. It's the 11th game of the year and the team is now 6-5 overall and 1-2 in the conference.
It is January 2nd, it's the start of the calendar New Year...
How many big free throws have Sam Sessoms and John Harrah missed over the years? Game costing free throws...especially Sam. So missing 2 that would've stopped the bleeding really hurt. Not scoring on 5 shots on one possession felt like the old days. I had been following the score on my phone in the jacuzzi but wasn't trusting that we'd stay in it. A pleasant surprise indeed.
To Sam's credit he did hit two later. Not trying to hate on him at all...hopefully he keeps scrapping. With our style we will need every single point to compete. Step in the right direction
