Game 14 - January 1 - Belmont

[Stebs Amusements]

Getting uncomfortably close.

[Stebs Amusements]

Bricking too many FT’s.

[kochrab]

Good grief. MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS.

[Stebs Amusements]

That should do it.

[CyCarp]

We're gonna have to learn to clutch up on the FTs late in games, but a win is a win.

[orangetennis]

That block from Tytan to close it!

[Stebs Amusements]

They let it get too close at the end but I’ll take the W.

[kochrab]

Yikes. That was way too close for comfort. Belmont attempted 39 threes in this game. THIRTY NINE.

[orangetennis]

As bad as we were from the FT line tonight, Belmont was worse.

[MVCBeat]

Lotta recent UNI teams would have folded several times in the last 5-6 minutes after some of the stuff that happened. Way to hang on. Hope Hutty is back soon. Were running out of bodies.

[1994grad]

We shot 16% from three and won. Typically we would have lost by a lot shooting that percentage. Hopefully tonight was just an off night at the FT line as well. I am happy to get the win. I hope Hutson is ok.

[skydog0784]

That felt really good! Well done gentlemen...

[GoPanthers85]

That block from Tytan to close it!

Also kept Belmont from covering the spread, or at least when I saw last we were at -5.5.

['70 Grad]

Belmont just kept coming. 3s, a sneaky 2. Tough team to beat - especially if we don't get calls on our drives to the basket (except in the last minutes).

How we won at their place last year, after losing to them at home, is/was a head-scratcher.

Got to enjoy it & move on. Need Hutty. Hope it's simple. He does put a lot of weight on that ankle!

[BCPanther]

Good teams win games like that. Not a great offensive night and only made three 3s and walked out with a W.

This win and, surprisingly, that win at UIC are ones that not everybody is going to get in this league.
