A win could get the season back on track, but I don’t expect it to be close.

We still haven’t quite found our rhythm. The guys that were hot to start the season cooled off. We can’t seem to draw fouls. Our D isn’t quite where it should be.

I’ll say lose by 14.

Who's going to the game? We have 4 in our group that will be there.

Not worth starting a new post, but man Tex st had a bad night. You beat Cal but loose to Mary Hardin - Baylor, sounds like 2022 App football.

I’ll be at the game

12.5 point dog in this one. We'll need to shoot very well (and consistently throughout) to stay in this one.

Totally agree. We do these three and App wins.

I'm hoping to see Kerns keep dialing the lineups in. The advanced stats support some lineup/minute changes at this point in the season. It was great to see Abson start last game, I hope that's the path moving forward even if he's not playing DG style minutes.

Should be on an old thread but man if they hadn't reviewed the end of the Louisville game that would have been a horrific loss considering since then they have lost by 20 or more every game. At the end of the year it's a win for us and a loss for them but boy we should have put the hammer down.

All that being said we have to play 40 minutes every night or there will be brutal losses.

Wife and I will be there. Will be sitting in the Wake section as a judge friend of mine for over 30 years bought tickets for us. She also gives me the baseball tickets and I just haven't had the upper hand to rub a lost in her face yet. Maybe tonight.

All I want for Christmas is to beat Wake .And Peace on Earth.I think I get one tonight.

[311neers]

Looking great!! except for free throws.

[agentpaul001]

Looking pretty solid so far. Missed free throws hurting so far. I like the last few plays with team trying to work it inside for Abson. They've contested the 3 really well (which was probably the right choice) so glad to see the team is getting it into the paint.

[ASU3432Mi]

Why can't we make free throws?

[311neers]

williamson and appleby are dangerous.

[BambooRdApp]

Too much...one on one basketball...no hard screens ...or motion in last couple of minutes

[311neers]

gregory good for a couple of shoulder charges a game. only having 1 actual post player on the team will cause our streaky offense when we just settle for bad shots from deep. 9 dudes stand outside 3 point line and abson only one down low. We gotta stop williamson and appleby somehow. Play hard nose defense and keep it close!!!

[311neers]

what a run!!! manti333333 from the logo

[BambooRdApp]

If mantis can consistently make 3s like that... coming off screen and not just a stand still 3...he will be game changer rest of year... consistency is the key word

That was a Steph Curry like 3.

Who is that Masked -Man-tis?
