I didn't even get a thread up over the weekend. I was busy leading and hosting a D-Now with a house full of teenagers. I am just coming up for air. I wonder if SumItUp is making the trip down to Conway.

Can't say "We're peaking at the right time" based on the last 1/2 dozen and tonight's game.

Their court is messing with me. I thought my TV had gone black and white for a sec.

Same with the black and white. The red uniforms on those shades of grey look great.

Interesting stat:
Darius scored 34 and had the worst shooting % on the team :shock:

Not a knock against Darius at all, everyone else was 50% or above.

I can tell McKay is working on the offense. Seeing more of Abii and Peebles, probably our best at creating their own shots outside of Darius. Saw some better action with cuts from Warfield too. He ate into Venzant’s minutes tonight.

Quit your griping. We locked down on D in the second half and hit shots from everywhere. A road victory in Late February against a team that is playing quality ball right now is a blessing. Pure and simple.

Nice to see Keegan regain form and Warfield maturing. Have I missed something as to why Blake Preston is not playing more? I know he was coming back from COVID and I was thinking that coach was bringing him back slowly, but he adds much to the interior game and is generally a good post option. His abscence is one of the reasons that defenses have moved the defensive perimiter further outside.

I saw SumItUp on camera in the stands. Looking forward to his eyewitness account.

Speaking of which, I believe that was Chip Smith in the red Liberty t-shirt in the 2nd half.

Cleaned up the turnover issue in the last 15 minutes and pulled away. Solid road win.

McKay is looking for options to create and initiate offense, so Abii is playing more. I like Shiloh in the post, too, I think he’s shown himself to be very crafty around the basket.

Keegan was on fire from behind the arc. Nice to see a quality performance from him. Kid can shoot!
