These next 3 games will tell us a ton about this team. Can they put 3 solid games together? Does the D travel? Can someone other than Darius carry us on O? Do they have a winning mentality?

Some good, fun matchup possibility's too!

A win, albeit a frustrating one. Just cant make that many mistakes down the stretch and let a team back in it. Missed free throws and non sense turnovers are the norm with this team. I am not sure how McKay keeps his cool. Winning a game shooting 45% from the free throw line is a rarity.
Wipe the slate and do it again tomorrow!

There were some stretches in this game where our offense looked unstoppable. We have potential here if we can harness it. I trust McKay’s team to keep getting better and to be a really tough out come tourney time.

Abii and Shiloh are making our frontcourt, which looked like a weakness coming into this year, into a strength.

There are times when we look like an absolute juggernaut on offense with everyone in rhythm and everything clicking but then we’ll turn the ball over 5 times on 6 possessions and I’m left wondering how we’ve won at all. Anyway we won and avoided a terrible collapse and that’s all that matters.

Northern Iowa had the chance to win it with a contested long 3 ball, but thank God they missed the shot with an air ball, and we didn't foul them (again). :pray

Not sure about radio, but it was televised on ESPNU. I watched the whole game from my living room.

It was on the radio. I don't recall now for sure but I think it was on 107.5. AY broadcasted from Liberty Arena while watching the video feed.
