I am sorry to see Dia in the portal - because he will be a Disu somewhere in three years. But harkening back to the initial premise, this gives me hope that we are actively seeking a “win now” frontline in the portal. Bottom line, Dia can shoot, score and run. He did not seem to love banging - which...

Imagine being Schreck with 8 rbis - and not leading the team in RBIs for the night.

Noland with 11.

Eleven.

It is hard given injuries and the portal these days to field a full team this time of year. It leaves you shaking your head over missing Robbins, Stute, even Disu. We have extraordinary guard talent. Both Manjon and Lawrence can drive on anyone. Basically the only teams that beat us the last two mon...

UAB 17-17 from the line.

We were 1-5.

And we deserved more. But give UAB credit. They were solid and never let up.

It was a fun team to watch. I will miss watching them. Hopefully will see Liam in the bigs.

Twice we called time out and it “wasn’t recognized “

We are getting no calls. It is deciding the game.

Dangerous time to take out Manjon.

Notice Backup can’t stop Walker… announcers talking about Walker figuring things out - he’s suddenly not being guarded by Manjon.

Ansong getting the enforcer role (just putting a body on people.) We are having problems under the basket.

Finally got a moving screen call.

Shooting better - but defending worse.

The 3 fouls on QMB not helping. But this is a game where Dia has a chance to make an impact.

That one call on QMB was really terrible.

We can’t get a foul call. Getting hammered inside.

This is a game where Stute would help. They are roughing us up. Stute was a bit of an enforcer in his own way.

Free throws killing us.

1 of 4 including 2 missed front ends.

Nobody getting offensive rebounds. We are so spread, no one is even under the basket too frequently.

Still we continue to get open looks. Eventually we should hit some of them.

Even so, we are on a 20-9 run since 11-5.

This is our best defensive half of the season, imo.

UAB throwing aggressive moving screens.

We need Manjon back in.

Playing well. Still not shooting well.

The good news is we are getting wide open looks.

The bad news is we are shooting bricks.

This could be a Trey Thomas game.

Is this not the guy who directly poached Dylan Disu?

Can you imagine this year’s team with Dylan Disu?

I am going to give Stack some weird praise here. He waited a long time to pressure the ball. But it worked. Again, our bench was not great - and I think the disastrous early wave made all of the subs tentative the rest of the way. That was a terrible early miscalculation. He also didn’t deal with Mi...
