[STILLBUSTER]

I'm going to just assume that our poor defense is due to fatigue from the tourney/travel.

Agreed - was my biggest fear going into this game. Under any other circumstance, Hawks would have easily covered what should have been a 10-12 point spread. This 6-day stretch has been brutal and everyone, including books, saw it coming (which is why the line started at 8-1/2 and quickly dropped to 7-1/2).

Hawks hold on and it will be a huge step forward in the toughness and confidence department. I fear another come from ahead loss could linger.

[BlacknGold19]

But they can't stop us

Because ND hits 3s at will.

We need to be aggressive to the rim here for the last 2 minutes, no standing around like Fran likes to do at the end of the game.

 

[MeatMan]

Hell yes AARON WHITE!!!

 

[tksirius]

Damm, look at Whitey's face. Nova is a dirty team.

 

[MeatMan]

4 fouls on Sherman!

 

[MeatMan]

run it down boys

 

[CRHawk25]

I'd like to see us trap in the corner when they make that initial pass into the corner. I think it would cause them problems, especially with our length. Similar to what we did towards the end with Nova.

 

[MeatMan]

make your FTs!!!

 

[MeatMan]

nice foul. as long as he misses
