We need a new DC ...

We need new out-of-bounds plays ...

We need to practice in bounding the ball ...

Less 3s please ...

All that being said ... Win is a win ... Would rather learn from a win than a loss ...

On to the next ...

Me drinking at the 2:45 mark and continued thru overtime. Good thing my bottle was 3/4 full. It sure isn't now!

Looked frankly pretty awful and extremely tentative after up 10. Would have liked to see TSJ take it to the hoop, but he looked tentative too.
Getting the W is everything for now for sure, so got to be very happy @ that - but we sure do need to be a whole lot better come March.

That out of bounds play reminded me of Illinois vs Arizona 2005 and Jack Ingram’s tip

Positives.
1. Krush and the crowd were the best they’ve been all year over the course of a whole game.
2. It’ll count as a win. We survived.

Negatives.
1. We just stared down what it will look like in the First or Second Round if we are not sharp … we might survive like tonight, we might not. I don’t want to play with our luck.
2. I should not feel SO nervous when we’re inbounding the ball. Sorry, but an otherwise excellent staff and team just turns it into amateur hour for this one phase of the game??

Obviously more negatives than that, but no need to pile it on after a W. We need to clean things up massively to have a shot in East Lansing.
