A well-coached zone defense is a different animal and we pretty clearly don’t have much experience with it. The game was ugly, and I might not have loved watching it, but I’m glad we got that experience under our belt. It’ll come in handy later in the season.

Good to experience winning ugly. Kylan Boswell player of the game. Phenomenal on ball defense and closed it out for us offensively. Big week of practice to get ready for Bama
This is good experience for this team. I thought we got some good looks just didn't go down.

Happy for the W but I’m not sure there’s an amount of $$$ you could pay me to re-watch this game

Welp. A win is a win
Burn the tape and memory hole this one. Very lackadaisical team right now lacking an on court leader. Have some amazing talent but the team was outworked tonight and intensity was non existent. Hopefully a learning experience.
Brb gonna go rinse my eyeballs out with some bleach
Listening to Bardo has convinced me that maybe I don’t know how to pronounce their names correctly
3-0 is what matters. I don’t care what the Sleepers guys will have to say. Get back to work in practice tomorrow.
Wrong. Underwood just said they got more value out of this game than other games where they won by 30. This team has a unique zone defense that slowed the game down
Postgame hot takes:
- If KJ can’t bring the turnovers down, we might get blessed with a second year. Or he’ll fix it. Win-win.
- I’ve only watched two games, but Tre White would seem to be on the bubble for the BIG rotation to me
- If DGL is an Illini on senior night, the applause will threaten the structural integrity of SFC
- I appreciate Bardo as a former player, but ladies and gentlemen…

Wasn't that bad people. Cmon. Like Brad said these are the games you learn and build upon not the 30+point blowouts.

Yep, just about every player was put in a spot where they were uncomfortable tonight and had to respond. Plenty of film to look at tomorrow.

There's an aura about this team that reeks of success, even with an ugly win. We showed some good defense and we did a nice job identifying where the ball needs to go offensively, depending on the mismatches and who was hot.
