I'll take it!

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I've been on the Plummer train since the summer and I'm so glad he showed out. He's the only guy we have right now that looks ready to shoot when he gets the ball and has the swagger to mercilessly take it from anywhere.

I hope Trent is alright, but that did not look good. And Belo's neck...we are in a tough spot right now.

Beats losin’

Now let's see the same Never Posters come in after a W and give BU and the bench credit for gutting that out without Frazier and a broken Curbelo?

And it's amazing how much better this team looks when shots go in.

I like how we broke their press no problem without a true point guard on the floor.

 

[DICKnaggie]

Showed some maturation. Thank Jebus!

 

[Miles Leonard]

Weberpocalypse averted.

 

[DRS]

I don't think that curbello's neck was the issue, he seemed sick.

 

[CharliedonSurf]

Time to readjust expectations. Now I am happy to escape with a win against kstate

 

[Epsilon]

I had to step away for a few minutes. What happened to Curbelo? How did he get hurt and was it bad?

 

[Mistakenj]

We are still a LONG way off. That was a bad K State team.

 

[GrayGhost77]

If we could hit FTs we'd really be in business.

 

[Illwinsagain]

Just realized that the game didn't record. I didn't want to watch it live after last night. Maybe I shouldn't watch live anymore going forward?

Would have preferred to be playing and beating Arkansas tonight but I’ll take it over losing to Weber and Mark smith. Thank god Plummer got hot. Saved our hides. Now I can enjoy life and basketball over turkey day weekend which is maybe the biggest victory (I never like watching much after a loss).

 

[ChiefKingfisher]

Missed the game…what happened to Frazier and Curbelo?

 

[Hopingfor500]

1-1 in KC. Figured it would have been beating Cincy and losing to Arkansas, but 1-1 is 1-1. Beat Texas Rio Grande(is that who's next?) and start finding that identity while stringing some W's together at home.

 

[illini80]

A win is a win. We have work to do. Plummer was the man tonight. We clearly don’t win without him.

[Orange Wave]

Work in progress…gonna need em to live up to the every day guys mantra

 

[King Snake]

That win goes to Plummer and hutch. Hutch gained some confidence in this game, love to see it.

 

[Pikeillinifan]

Desperately needed win, Kofi is a stud, but needing 12 threes and having so many turnovers is not good.

Lots of work to do but a win is a win.

I don't think that curbello's neck was the issue, he seemed sick.

IMO he hurt himself tightroping down the baseline.
