So deserving too

Biggest non con win since Belmont in 2019

 

[Birdfriend72]

Started strong, got a little nervous- and scared, regrouped. I like it. They need to learn from it. They have some things to work on...but a nice win. Need to work on shooting, cutting and passing, and boxing out. They have the potential to be good.

Can't tell if this makes me happy or sad.

Sarcasm?

From what I've seen of Pops' posts, no, this wasn't sarcasm. He's not afraid to cheer for other guys.

 

[Bird Friend]

Good win. At one point we were 4-17 at the line, finished 9-10 . . . so made them under pressure, but sure would've been easier to make them earlier and remove the pressure late in the game.

Only started listening in the second half (wife scheduled a colonoscopy for late morning!) . . . we were up big, then started to struggle . . . I quit listening after Jordan's 3 missed FTs . . . so you're welcome!

Lieb only 5 minutes today should bode well for his legs heading into tomorrow and the rest of the tournament. Gotta look for a positive in an otherwise forgettable day for him.

Pence 5 minutes, H 6 minutes, and Davis 7 minutes as well.

Going from 11 to 8 in the rotation probably looks like less for these 3 based off today's results since none of their absences can be explained by foul issues like they can with Lieb.

 

[Baltimore Bird]

Coach Pedon's biggest W! Go Birds!!
FT's. Foster is a major liability and he missed 6 of them. Davis appears to be a role player with a declining role. He was 0 for 3. The rest of the team is pretty good. Coach Pedon will figure this out.

Considering Burford and Poindexter were 5-19 from the field and our 4th and 5th leading scorers, yet we never trailed says a lot

Banks with team highs of 15p/3a and 6 (count them 6) steals plus 5 boards plus Johnny kept the above from killing us.

No way that’s no sarcasm coming from me. I’m not that guy my friend. I believe in working hard and deservingly getting what comes your way. I hope that was a sarcastic question.

 

[Brick]

4/17 from the line with about 3 minutes to go. How did win this game?. Yea need to get better but I will take this one. Esp after who they beat coming into this game!!!!

Killing fans is one thing players don’t worry about, players place trust in coaches and not us.

That’s a good take unlike some on here. Thanks.

Started making the freebies at the end. Make them during the rest of the game and you don't even have to go to the foul line. Great defense, spotty offense. Burford forces it when we are in a drought. Wish we just move the ball instead of constant turnovers.

Good win, win the next few too.

Good win indeed. But FT’s and TO’s are concerning.

Sarcasm?

Not a chance. Pops wants this program to be great as much as the rest of us.

I well sleep well at night, win, lose or draw and rise the next day.

 

[Metamoron]

That team scored 94 points on Michigan.
Defense travels.
Winner’s bracket baby!!!!!
Now I can golf on Wed am!!

 

[Phantom]

Another good thing from today is the guys found a way to maintain the lead and play good D even with the TO issues and having a crap day at the line. That's encouraging. We win this one going away with better ball protection and shooting better from the stripe. But staving off their runs and playing with some composure is a nice thing to build from.

Take the learning points from that, then flush & forget and get ready for tomorrow's game.

 

[Dmills]

I am thrilled about the final result, without a doubt. With that being said, I hope the team is able to find a basketball hoop at the hotel. Have Coach Judson put on a free throw shooting clinic. Everyone's legs stay fresh and we can improve our scoring by multiple points. Great for team bonding

 

[Redbirdmike]

What a win!! After the Michigan upset by The Beach it was clear we had the toughest first round draw on the bracket.

We knew they would have to mount a run at some point and we held our ground. Honestly after our 9-0 run to open the second half and a 17 point lead even a middling FT shooting team would have it locked up I love, love Foster‘‘a game, but he CANNOT be on the floor at the end of any close game. He must improve FT shooting. Go Birds!!!
