Samford

Wish we could have student body support that Samfart has. Much better home court advantage than we have most games.

Are you kidding? Tonight was literally the only good crowd Sammy had all season

True. Watched the Citadel game and with them on a roll wondered why no one was there.

Citadel misses a three at buzzer and Sammy survives by 2

Samford shot 40% and 22% from 3 tonight. Bet you right now they shoot at least 50% and 45% from 3 on Wednesday. .Hate to but I will be pulling hard for WC at VMI Wednesday.

Yall need to listen to me, lol. Knew this would happen without a doubt. They shot 60% or plus 20% and 47% from 3 or plus 25% over Monday.

Just too much 3-point shooting from this team - it's great when you're hot, but abysmal when you're not. Aside from Slawson being able to isolate inside, 9 times out of 10 we kick it back outside for an open 3. I can't tell you how many times yesterday we had Anderson or other guards get within 10-15 ft from the basket for an open jumper and we don't even think about taking the easy 2. It's a phase of the game that's non-existent on this team. You won't win the SOCON on the 3 game unless you're shooting it lights out the whole time. The chance of that happening is pretty slim.

Anderson is the best penetrator I have ever seen at Furman all to no avail, no dish, no shot.

I’ve only been watching since 2011 but Sibley and Croone were pretty good at getting to the hoop.

Anderson has really improved his handling of the ball since last year, as well as his defense. I think what limits him to some extent on the offensive side is his low release point shooting the ball. That may be why he's afraid to shoot the ball inside.

Great point. Jordan Lyons also.

Yeah, he uses a two hand low release( I have noticed more players using two hands lately). I love to watch him play, all phases. I have seen Hunter use the elbow shot inside with some success.

Garrison 2-10 shooting buried us tonite...just an average shooting game by him may have gotten us a win. We simply must shoot better..
