Great win last night. Felt different from the great GTown win last year. Hopefully this afternoon also feels a bit different. LETS GO JOHNNIES!

Just play your game and stay out of foul trouble.

Hopefully third time's a charm just like last night.

Good start is important obviously. Will need Amar to play physically in his limited minutes.
*wipes ketchup from his eyes* - I guess Heinz sight isn’t 20/20.

We need to guard the 3 pt line better. Too many open looks last night especially in the 1st half.

The minutes off the bench by Ali B and Trimble were big last night. We need to hVe them play some again today. In past games we have lost down the stretch because our guys are gassed. If the goal is to win the whole thing, which it has to be then they can’t go back to 5 guys all game again. Last night was a lot of fun. I hate this turnaround and don’t this in particularly fair but I hve hope for a win today. Need to play a full game and shake off the early start.

Last night was a fun one.  I thoroughly enjoyed it!  I also agree this turnaround isn't fair.  It's dumb.  No other major conference does it (the closest is the Big 12, but the winner of our game last night would play at 2:30pm today in the Big 12), and you'd probably be hard pressed to see any other conference who does it, either.

The turnaround is crazy. Having a hard time as a fan. Bathroom smells worse then normal. My boss just excused me. I will be there for tip off.

Not a smart pass by Simon to Owens, per alley oop attempt.

Need to front Kanter and make it hard for him to get the ball that low.

Just like that....  Two on Owens.  Gotta play smarter.

Amar has played O'Mara tough the past two possessions.

Mack knows we're shorthanded down low and is trying to throw it in there almost every trip down whether it be Kanter or O'meara.
