Need to get Turner to transfer to App. Rest of those guys are garbage.
One of them can stroke threes. Davis maybe? He torched us last year.

That might be the closest result we’ve had in Norfolk.

I've never seen a team so excited to cut a deficit to 9 with less than 30 sec to go.

If I were an opponent and had fouls to give, I would foul us... It helps to get an opponent back in the game. Until we demonstrate we are lights out st FT line, we better have a big cushion to absorb the FT misses

We seem to struggle getting the ball in. It has to drive the coach crazy.

Unc down by 8 to Duke in 74 with 17 seconds and rallied to win. It can happen…

I agree but Marcus did well at the line today. He’s the MVP. Double double, free throws. He traveled twice, but it was less egregious as #35’s no call travels

That thought actually entered my mind when we were up 9 with 16 seconds left

Maybe ODU was practicing their “catchup” game for the future. Got to work on something when the game is out of hand.
Attendance was listed as over 4000. That’s pretty good for a Dec. 31 afternoon game, isn’t it?

Someone please check my facts, but I remember being up by something like 7 points at home to wcu with 30 seconds left, and they came back and beat us. It was in the late 70's or early 80's.

So is the double bonus.

Back in the 1970s, the bonus was only one-and-one. In the late 80s or early 90s, the NCAA adopted the double bonus. A miss and a make is now possible where it wasn’t in the 70s.

Why would you not intentionally foul this team with the below FT stats?
Heck, if I am down to App. St. 4 minutes and under going into the half, I am bringing a walk-in into the game to foul our worst FT shooters..

Looks like getting some R&R did the players a lot of good. But I remained baffled at how poor App’s FT shooting remains, regardless of the player or the season…for that matter.

We lost a game to Wake Forest a couple years...maybe 3....that all we had to do was throw the ball in. That was probably the worst AppState memory of my life. I was so excited for AppState to win that game. Maybe it was 4 years ago. I think it was a Kerns team.
