32.1 up 5. Cannot hit a free throw. Ridiculous.

[asu66]

Lead down to 5. Shad misses two FTs. "Ugly" is doing it a favor! Still 15.9 secs on the clock.

[appst89]

Whyyyyyyy is Shabazz in the *'#&-' game?

[proasu89]

Held on. Happy to get the win and will leave it at that.

[appst89]

Any win over UTA is big in the Belt, but damn this team is frustrating. Almost blew a 27 point lead.

[JMappfan5]

Poor fundamentals down the stretch. Can't inbound the ball and missed 5 free throws with under a minute left, BUT we WIN by 4 and are 2-0 in the BELT!!! First Place baby!!! WHEW...so ugly but a W is a W!!! APPY NEW YEAR!!!!

[asu66]

Geez! The story is 24 TOs at home. The road will be neither forgiving nor pretty!

[asu66]

Thank you, Ike Johnson! Dr. Clutch...IMG College Player-of-the-Game!

The most important thing is the win but geez we wilted down the stretch. Shabazz was almost a liability at the end.

Who would have guessed a week ago that we would be 2-0 in the Belt?

[agentpaul001]

All in all we won both Home games this weekend. Messy or not we can’t be too unhappy?

[appst89]

Texas St.won at Coastal. Weird weekend.

[hapapp]

We travel to Louisiana and Monroe next weekend looking for our first road win. The Cajuns are also 2-0 in the Belt and 11-3 overall. Let's see how we respond to this opportunity/challenge.

[MAD Doctor]

Whew! and congrats to the team. An ugly win > a pretty loss.

Amen! Would love to have 10-12 more ugly wins.

Williams needs to be the PG when teams start to press. Shabazz and Forrest are good scorers, but have trouble with the press.

Still, to be 2-0 in the Sun Belt is a huge step forward for us. Hopefully we can get the road monkey off our back this week.

Glad to be 2-0. Shabazz has nearly cost us 3 games now down the stretch at the line.

[app97]

Glad to be 2-0. Shabazz has nearly cost us 3 games now down the stretch at the line.

But, would we even be in the game without him?

Indeed. We at least need to work on the press/find some new strategies. That exposed us and seems to have been a problem in the past as well

No but he shouldn't be handling the ball then. He missed 4 big free throws today.

Shabazz should have a green light the first 37 minutes of every game, then benched. He did the same thing at JMU and cost App the game. Similar thing at Western.

He's a liability at the end of the game, there's no other way to put it.
