TF drives and gets double-teamed on his drives every game. So, I disagree that only AC can do it.

Oh, I love this stat! Would like to see it updated through at least the end of conference play. This was released on January 20th.
I think they changed their approach to be honest. Thought it was pretty well officiated.
At times we sucked, but if "we suck" or the equivalent is the only take you've got, keep it to yourself. It is lazy and a waste of my time to read through 20 posts saying we suck, just to get one real take about what is going on in the game.
Need to clean up the turnovers Defense was awesome. Hope the 3 point shooting comes back on Sunday
It’s clear Trent has pink eye, it looked brutal in his left eye.
Pathetic yes. Win yes.
Yeah, we just need to let him sleep until the next game. Bed rest only.

Shhhhhhhhhhh.......that doesn't fit their narrative. Lol
I wonder if the different basketball was part of the reason for poor shooting…
I still think 10 Kofi mugs were ignored...tsk...

Because they literally take the other teams lunch money.
The timeouts in the tourney are extended so rest isn't as much of an issue. They played unreal defense in several stretches in this game. It's the ONLY reason we won.
You just have no way of knowing how the freshmen are going to defend in their first tourney experience against older very experienced guards.
Today was the start of an epic run.
IMSMR, when Michigan won the championship in '89 they had a game which they survived only by luck.
Absolutely. Every play pretty much.
Yes! A million times!!! Thank you.
Now hteyl say "maybe our players just play better in 2nd half"......while knowing damn well if that chart said the opposite they wouldnt question !!!! LOL

If the alternative is going to be immediately fall behind by double digits and be chasing the rest of the game then yes

Doesn't really matter whether Curbelo starts. He comes in quick and stays in for most of the game at this point.
I also love Trent (tremendous defense today, no doubt) but he has looked so beat up with middling-to-poor shooting for several months. The camera zoomed in on Trent today before the game and my first thought was that he looked like he just stepped out of the hospital, lol.
We really need Trent to go on a heater or Damonte to have one of those 3 for 5 games from three on Sunday. It's so tough when Damonte and Trent are both not scoring. If I woke up this morning and got a preview of Illinois' box score in advance, I would have bet my life savings that Chattanooga would win.
All that said... we won!!!!! Hope we got some nerves out and come back shooting better this weekend.
