Game 9: Grand Canyon

Simon shouldn't be allowed to touch the ball with under 3 minutes. Holy crap.

Nobody on this team other than Ponds can rebound. Actually, nobody other than Ponss can do anything right now. It's unbelievable, haha

if Mullin had longer hair he'd be tearing it out

Simon shouldn't be allowed to touch the ball with under 3 minutes. Holy crap.

all he does it cough it up

At least we got a jump ball off the D board. Now that's progress.

Their inbound plays are atrocious!

This has the feel of being “saved by the bell”

Good win.
Tough team in essentially a road game without our second best player.

You can talk about playing bad offensively but that is the 5th best scoring defense in the NCAA.
And a team thats probably going to win more games than us this year.

Positives: Ponds

Negatives: Basically everything else

A W is a W. Friday should be a good barometer

Cant be too mad at Simon.
He was AGAIN our highest rebounder and scored 17

Boy was that ugly we need Lovett back bad....a win is a win 8-1....let's go beat a top 25 team Friday night

Nice of Ponds to roll it back when GCU still decided to run a full court press down 8 with 16 seconds to go

They may win more games than us, but that's irrelevant.  We're the better team, but poor rebounding and a few, too many sloppy sequences kept Grand Canyon in the game. 

A win, nonetheless.  Get ready for Friday.

Ponds is awesome

You can say that because you didn't watch the game.

1-1 is what we had to get on this trip...Friday is gravy, no chance without LoVett

A win is a win, but the guys better chip in and buy Ponds a steak dinner after that game. Simon, really, the only other guy who contributed.

This team has to learn to box out and pursue. Need to work on breaking the press too. All-in-all we won a virtual road game against a team that won't lose at home that much this season so that's a big plus.

We need to go 2-0. I don't think anyone wanted to go 1-1. It's not a disaster like 0-2 would have been but if you want to make the tournament you have to win games like on Friday.

It's more about conference play but yeah that's a resume builder
