Ok, maybe not ice, but Alstork has a little frost.

Don't forget to cancel BTN+

Can't believe Alstork is still playing as many minutes as he is.

 

[Spoon House]

Better a close win than another close loss.

Team's got issues.

 

[illiniknight]

Not pretty but I'll take the win. I-L-L-

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Alstork may have been bad... But hitting the front end on the one-and-one late was huge, and has been a major flaw for us all year.

And you know... DAMONTE!!!!

 

[skyIdub]

All the freshman minutes we have vs. an experienced....very good....defensive team, you take this W and run.

He has been a lock down defender and rebounds well

I did not see the game but looking at the numbers it looks like a John Groce win. Hardly any free throws, and a ton of missed 3's. 20 turnovers.


Wtf?

No he wasn't.

Okoro watching Black and knowing we will have one of the best back courts in the country in two years makes me....

 

[illinitiger]

yeah...sloppy passes against a good D team. clean that and the inside D. Finke showed signs of good D though. not sure why we didnt play more zone.

Nuke LaLoosh. “I love winning man….I love winning it's like…..better than losing.”

Without Alstork, it's a L. Now if his O can at least become serviceable.

 

[pruman91]

I think the tough losses earlier has made us stronger down the stretch ....refuse to lose....

great 3pter by monte....free throws by Alstork were huge...sloppy game for us , but MAYBE we have turned the page and expect to win....

WE still lack that imposing frontcourt player but are playing tough D and rebounding well

 

[sully]

Way too close for comfort BUT I'll definitely take the W

 

[radiodj]

You can't struggle to put away a team like Grand Canyon and still claim to be a good team. I'm sorry, but you just can't.

 

[FeelTheLovie]

Man Leron black would be a huge piece for a team competing for a title in any conference. Hope we hold on to him for the 5th year

If you listen to Coach Underwood on the postgame, his assessment of Alstork's play is similar to yours, which is considerably different to many posters here.

 

[foby]

ehhh without Grand Canyon missing a few free throws its an L. Alstork is a nice guy though.

How about, it's a loss by at least 5?

Couldn’t agree more

Grand Canyon shot a better % at the free throw line than us. They did miss one more free throw than us, but shot three more.
