Gritty win is right. Great team character and great coaching on display.

I know we each have a different experience, but I sat near some pretty decent WCU fans. They do exist. Never showed out once. Made the game even better.

Sure hope Hein and Foster return next year.

We did not play stellar ball the last 10 minutes of the game but we persevered and gutted it out and found a way to win. I think the experience of winning 5 of our last 6 tournament games helped us.

Kudos to Alex Williams on his defense on the next to last possession against Woolbright.

QUESTION-In OT, instead of giving away the jump -ball, why not let Bowser jump, and then sub him out as soon as you can if you want to. Why give away an important possession when the # of possessions is so few?

Great win

I saw second half and OT

But dam. How many missed FTs late. Hien 0-3. Williams ? 1-2. Missed last layup by Whitt in regulation. We tried to give it away. Can’t miss that many FTs at end of game. Hien with an air ball FT? No one wanted to be on FT line and be clutch
Hien is not a good FT shooter. Williams should not miss front and of one and one. Whitt’s last shot would have been great if it had gone but not an easy shot.

Just glad we won!

I do not think either have graduated or will graduate as we did not honor any seniors the last home game. I am more worried about Pegues leaving but lets talk about all that after the season is over.
