I refuse to give up on this team.
They need to start hitting some baskets soon. It is getting late. All we need to do is bust a few 3’s.

9:38 left
45-53

They’ve hit open shots. We haven’t. Can’t really overcome a team outplaying you like that.

Can’t shoot this bad and win with a crew that hasn’t bought in to playing good D. Weird season, some selfishness I suspect. Could be a good offseason for addition by subtraction.

The top seed has won something like 6 of the last 7 years. Being the top seed is a great advantage in a 3 day tournament. Ask Coach Richey. That Saturday noon game is a huge advantage, as it should be.

Don’t buy the tired leg thingy. These are 20 year olds. Teams win 2 games in 2 days all the time.

Ask Coach Richey. Samford was back in their rooms by 3:00. We were back at 1:00 a.m, then lost an hour of sleep with the time change. It made a difference last year for us and it made a difference today. We witnessed it on the court.

Foster must have hurt his knee again.
He got Furman off to a great start but no scoring support...pretty much the story of the season

Are you saying he had no support?

Good effort. Not a stellar performance.

Foster scored first 8 and then hit 4 FT’s and went scoreless the last 30 plus minutes of the game. Pegues was off but still scored 22.

Hopefully a great game by Whitt (20 points) will spur him on for next year.

Hughey sort of disappeared the last half of the season.

Amazing to only lose by 7 the way we played.
Play well and we win!
