Survive and advance...that all you can say for this game.
Will need a better showing tomorrow night against Little Rock, but if we play to our ability, it is a very winnable match-up.

Biggest surprises on the drive down here:
1) The number of farm fields using cover crops. All reallly bright green right now.
2) The number of farm fields with working oil pumps churning away on them. Google says about 30K oils well are still around in the state of Illinois, most of them down south.
Biggest surprises on the court last night:
1) We did not handle the pressure very well. Dribblers dribbling out of control with no where to pass the ball.
2) The stars must have been aligned. We got the 2 best bigs into early foul trouble, eventually both fouled out
and were essentially non-factors.
Biggest non-surprise on the court:
1) We got to foul line more than them and controlled the boards, like most games this year. When we can do that, I like our chances to pull off an upset tonight and every night.
TSU did not bring a band or cheerleaders for whatever reason. The conference honored a lot of elementary school kids from around the conference at half time. Pep band did a fantastic job of keeping those kids dancing in their seats the whole game.

Embrace the pace of the race.
The radio half-time show talked about this. Each team in the tournament is "adopted" by a 4th grade classroom in Evansville. During the days leading up to the tournament, the coaches and players talk to the kids in their adopted classroom.sealhall74 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 08, 2024 11:20 amThe conference honored a lot of elementary school kids from around the conference at half time.
