We are looking really good, really unselfish, and playing HARD! I LOVE our culture! Anyone know why Jonathan Jackson hasn't seen the floor yet? Didn't get in even when we emptied the bench. Injury? Covid protocol? Looking forward to seeing all these guys continue to develop! We are going to win a lot of games the next few years!

Jackson has an injury which, as per his custom, Ritchie is not talking about. Based on the glowing comments about how well he was shooting the ball prior to the injury, I suspect he will be in the rotation when he recovers.

Liberty is +190 on the moneyline. Seems like they'd get more respect after beating two teams at a similar level to TCU.

Both Mississippi St and South Carolina are/were top 64 teams, and TCU is right there. I say the game is closer to a toss up. I doubt TCU spent much time preparing for our pack like.

[Jonathan Carone]

Our boys are tired. Everything is coming up short.

I am so glad to see where this program is versus the days when Dale Layer almost completely destroyed it entirely. That said, this is a strange year and we should remember to temper our expectations. If we continue to perform like this, we will have a great year and probably will be heading to the NCAA Tournament, but we also need to be realistic and prepare for when we have a stinker.

[stokesjokes]

We’re gonna need something other than the three ball in this game.

[thepostman]

Defense is still keeping us in the game but it is pretty clear we are a tired team.

[LUDad]

TCU guarding perimeter. Good, just took one to basket.

[JK37]

Gotta be able to score in multiple ways. Without the shot-making, we can’t seem to set anything else up.

[jinxy]

Some uglllly 3 balls from mcghee rode and mcdowell. Wow.

[Jonathan Carone]

Dude just suggested we play zone.

They are tired and there are reasons for it. I hope they can get a boost from this time out.

This is where the pack line helps us stay in games. Down by 1 at the half. Our offense looked a bit better to end the half.

[Purple Haize]

Once they started moving instead of pointing they looked a lot better
The legs are shot so 3 point shooting is going to be streaky at best. Drives to the basket will accomplish more
Good game to see if the 8th or 9th man has something in the tank that can top the balance offensively.

[thepostman]

TCU looks tired too so that is helpful.

They both look like this is their 3rd straight run at the Y

[jinxy]

Have a feeling thats about all she wrote. Offense is just dreadful in the 2nd half. They need to find a spark somewhere.

[Jonathan Carone]

I’m encouraged that even on our days when we don’t have it, we can hang with P5 teams.

[thepostman]

2-2 to end the week against some very good competition is nothing to be ashamed of. A ton of heart on this team.

[jinxy]

Man that hurt. Claw all the way back and then just a brutal last 2 possessions. Gotta be sick if your mckay. Needed a timeout to draw something up and parker was way too nonchalant.

[Jonathan Carone]

Can’t believe we were in it there at the end. Just made the wrong play at the end.

[ballcoach15]

Lacking on offense today.

I dunno if you would call “not catching the ball as it is thrown right to you” the wrong play. But LU certainly belongs

I was talking the over dribbling when we were holding for the last shot.

Now THAT is an absolute bad habit that needs to stop. McGhee will use up all the dribbles in the basketballs and then infect the rest of the team! And it appears it may have started.
