We look like the better team, but right now the scoreboard is not reflecting it. Hopefully, we can come out stronger in the second half.

Zack Cleveland passing up 2 easy shots in the final 22 seconds is everything wrong with basketball. He had an easy lay up to go up one and instead passed it out for a contested 3….and a miss. Then he got a nice dish to take the ball up for a flush….instead makes a pass in traffic that fortunately resulted in a goaltend.
Win or lose this is concerning Does he not want to take the big shot? He is a very good player but his weaknesses are beginning to be exposed and he is showing an unwillingness to take big shots.

I was hoping to see Xander Yates step up more but he looks like he would rather be eating his leftover Christmas ham. He looks lost with no willingness to get physical down low.

I’ll call this a garbage win. We played like total garbage but are about to pull out a win.

You take a conference road win however you can get it.

Oh cool, can ToTheHoopYall go ahead and officially define a “garage win” for us? Because apparently wins now come with square footage, door clearance, and whether you had to squeeze past a lawn mower to get it.

By that logic, if football—and HCJC in general—could’ve scraped together a couple of those same garage-quality wins, we might’ve been unpacking for a bowl game instead of explaining moral victories and “close losses.” Funny how wins are only “garage wins” when they don’t fit the narrative… but they’d count just fine in the standings.
