[Purple Haize]

LU moves so much better without DM on the floor. That’s not a slight in any way on him, just empirical fact

[JK37]

Empirical = “because I say so”

[stokesjokes]

We're down so McGhee is forcing. If it's hero ball for the next 15 minutes, we're going to lose.

[stokesjokes]

And just like that, we have a 9-0 run without McGhee scoring

[Purple Haize]

Empirical = “because I say so”

All the coaches in my house say so

As does the big Television in front of us

[stokesjokes]

This announcer thinks everyone is Venzant

[Purple Haize]

Warfield must not be allowed to shoot unless he’s wide open under the basket with no one on his side of half court

All the white guys are Porter

[stokesjokes]

I saw early they ran 3 plays to get him open shots. He missed worse each time. Kid’s got confidence issues.

[Purple Haize]

Defense clamping down

[stokesjokes]

Can’t shoot 4/23 from three and expect to win. On the other hand, we shot 4/23 from three and almost pulled it out. I can’t imagine we’ll have many more games like that.

The defense turned it up the last couple of minutes. Needed a little more of that sooner

[stokesjokes]

I was impressed by Porter in that sequence. We know what Venzant and Warfield can do, but Porter was in his man’s jersey.

[Cider Jim]

Porter was in his man’s jersey.

Is that similar to wearing his BIG BOY PANTS?

No

I hate shooting in that gym.

It’s a gun free zone so…

*in the jersey of the man he was guarding

What are you, an English professor?

[Cider Jim]

You guys and your coach's jargon. I should have asked Ballcoach what it meant.

[ballcoach15]

Did anyone see EKU's post game celebration in the locker room ? Whoever wins the national championship in March/April or whenever final game is, will not celebrate as much as EKU did.

[SumItUp]

Good for EKU. Basketball is a game and the team should have fun.

[Ill flame]

It's nice being a team that merits a big celebration when we get beat. It wasn't long ago when were just another cupcake.
