MBB vs Statesboro U, Saturday, March 9, 12:30 p.m. ET, ESPN+, Pensacola Bay Center, Pensacola, Fla., Sun Belt Qtrs

[311neers]

Here we go. Hack an Abson/Brown. Come on make them!

[VNova]

now the fouling begins

That’s one of my annoyances with basketball.

[biggie]

My heart again…

[ah59396]

Never in doubt

[appstatealum]

We just don't shoot the 3 ball well enough to make any type of tournament run, but it'd be nice to win the Belt and at least represent well in the big dance

[311neers]

Alright Tate, you got that game out of your system. Never again.
Semifinals!

[CoachRob]

The definition of survive and advance.

[Captain Morgan]

March Madness is here....see you tomorrow. My poor nerves. Heading for the scotch.

[BambooRdApp]

Only have to win by 1.. Survive and move on.

[Bootsy]

Does anyone else need to change their drawers, or is just me?

[BambooRdApp]

FTs Matter!!!

[311neers]

Would be great to tune into Baseball but Winthrop got scared and cancelled. Was hoping for a 2-0 day!

[Saint3333]

Typically every tournament champion has at least one tough game, good to get ours out of the way.

Refocus and dominate going forward.

FTs Matter!!!

You know what they always say, free throws win championships

[Bigdaddyg1]

Tate was terrible today. That week off didn't help us much. I think we are way more focused tomorrow night. Marshall could give JMU the exact same type of game.

[Saint3333]

23/27 FTs were huge today, made up for turnovers. Very grateful for improvement there.

[agentpaul001]

Great job with the win. My biggest fear was some random player going off but team still pulled through.

This team is deep and looked very focused coming out at tip. For all the handwringing about FTs (myself included & justified) the whole team crushed it 23/27, damn good.

Turnover margin was the big weakness and I can guarantee point of emphasis. Go app!

[GSUwasGump’sFallbackSchool]

Hell of a way to squeak it out without hitting a 3 or forcing a turnover since half time

This. Was actually surprised when the announcers said we were 20-23 at one point. Should have put the Stink away earlier but win and advance! Breaks the curse of the regular season champ getting bounced in the quarters.

We had some unforced turnovers, sure, but when they foul and it’s not called, it’s a statistical turnover, but it’s also on the official.
