Radford is playing well, and I feel like their facility is a tough one to play in. I hope the guys are well prepared, and have a decent night from behind the arc. I'll be streaming it from home.

Well... that was horrific.

Radford had the best shooting game of their lives against us in the first half. 9 for 18 from 3pt.

We had a mediocre/sub-par first half.

Questions/observations I have following this game:

-Austin Awad is ice cold lately - Can this change soon?
-Coach Kelsey waits WAY TOO LONG to apply full court pressure. We're down 20 points most of the game and want to start pressing with 3 to 4 minutes left?
-We're getting killed on the boards and on the perimeter, so why not switch up the defense to change pace and throw Radford off a little bit? TOO STUBBORN
-Xavier Cooks has been noticeably worse this season, and is much less of a factor when he doesn't have someone like Keon to Balance the floor.
-The younger guys are occasionally hurting us with some ill-advised shots/forced passes/turnovers etc, but I guess that's part of the growing pains?

Positive note: Bjorn Broman scored 29 points and finally had a breakthrough shooting performance. I hope this helps his confidence in scoring, and I think it will.

wualum: Well... close loss to upstate without Talford. suprising win on road against Gardner-Webb. Was very nervous is second half. First half was incredible, but you knew couldn't last. Feb 16, 2023 15:00:07 GMT -5

wualum: This team finds a way to lose games. Hightower didn't play most of second half and we should have won. Foul trouble is killing us. Maybe WU has to play more zone to avoid the fouls. Feb 7, 2023 13:42:22 GMT -5

punisher: Winthrop Baseball is in need for a change at the top, nothing personal but Tom is not a fit, and with 6 or 7 of the teams in the conference above 200 RPI, this woefully underperforming situation calls for a move in what is a poor conference. May 1, 2022 18:35:11 GMT -5
