Really solid outing. Thought overall we moved the ball pretty well, played good defense (doesn't look like it but CMU was way under their season average for points), and rebounded strong.

Great games for TA and Black.

Nice game overall against CMU's two tough guards. Black and Abrams were really tough on offense today, and our bigs had a nice time playing against a smaller opponent. Glad to have the win today, and it could have been much closer at the end.

does anyone still want to deny that Tracy Abrams is not a much better shooter from deep? I mean how crazy of a thought is it to accept that someone can improve a jumper after only being allowed to shoot and rehab for 2 years.

Let me get this straight, you telling me that Malcolm Hill and JCL combined for 15 points, Leron Black had 1 rebound, our entire bench combined for 17 points and we won by 19 against an 8-2 team?

Good signs. Maybe Groce and the staff are getting through to these guys, and maybe the guys are buying in. Let's hope this is the case. The potential is there for a NCAA bid.

I only got to listen to the last 8 and a half minutes, but it sounded like a really fun game.

So far the train wreck only lasted one week.

Two important but very winnable games now before B1G sched starts. We can do this!

BYU and Mizzou both have some bad losses and have yet to beat anyone of note.

We have to win both of those games, can't have any letdowns.

That Winthrop game hurts now. Would have loved to have been 11-2 going into the conference schedule potentially.

I think the injuries and the lack of playing time together has affected the team more than we may have understood. I'm very happy to see them coming together nicely. That was a quality win. Good D....Great Tracy.

Very solid game, for the most part.

Tracy's shooting is not a fluke. I don't expect him to shoot like this all year, but his shot looks really good and very consistent.

Hill did not have a great day, but he is the best on the ball defender we have. He stayed with Keene better than Tate and Tracy. There is no reason that he can't play the 2 with DJ or Kipper at the 3 in order reduce Tate's tic.

I am looking forward to see if Kipper can contribute.
