If we don't come out ready to play, this could get ugly early. Murray has been playing pretty good basketball recently, plus they haven't played at home in a while. Last 2 home games had to be moved due to power outage at their arena. We need to play defense like we did in the first half against Belmont and shoot it like we did in the second half against Belmont. Would be nice to pick up a win before coming home for the last regular season game. Need a little momentum heading into St. Louis.

Gotta give @GoSycamores credit for their reliability in always being active in starting threads no matter how a season going.

It's game day and I have to wonder...

Which fan base is more frustrated by their team, Sycamores or Racers?
We beat em by 10 in December, can we do it again?
Or is this a game that we lose by 20+ thereby making us that much more frustrated?
Paging Dr. Wagner, are you ready to shoot 18 threes this game?
Paging Dr. Wagner, are you ready to make 9 threes this game?
Samage Teel Esq, are you ready to dish 11 assists this game?
Samage Teel Esq, are you ready to score way more than 2 points this game?
Does Vorst get the start again?
Does Marcus see the court ever again?
Can Doughty improve on his 90% FT percentage?
Can JD improve on his 59.1% FG percentage? How about his 37.5% 3pt percentage?
What's it gonna take to get this road dub?

Not sure what to make of the Racers. They’ve definitely underachieved based on their talent, so you could say they have the ability to beat anyone…especially us. You can also say their coach is terrible and they’ve given up on him and are coasting to the end of the season. I guess both can be true.

I think we win tonight. Just a hunch because analytics will hardly support that statement.

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

I don’t have any real reason to think we will win this game - but I believe we will. Also, shame that student sections quit doing that chant.

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

Graves back to the desperation with the Harding start FML. Wow.

 

[skdent1414]

No vorst on the bench

 

[Sycamore Blue]

Vorst was shown on a graphic to be starting.

 

[BigShotBob]

Vorst was shown on a graphic to be starting.

They actually showed the red shirt kid Huttenlocker, which makes it even worse lmao

 

[sycamore_21]

Some free flowing bball

 

[BrokerZ]

So Harding is starting, why?

 

[treeman]

Harding gave us decent minutes there. Some of the best our offense has looked in a while getting to the rim and back cutting.

No blood no foul this game. It's even on both sides, i'll take it

 

[jturner38]

This the best Harding has played this season lol and that’s not necessarily a compliment

 

[SycamoreBlue3209]

Lots of good cutting and some nice passes to start. Couple forced 3’s by Camp. Solid start though

 

[BlueBleeder]

Graves back to the desperation with the Harding start FML. Wow.

I actually think this stretch was one of the best Harding has had all season.

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

Everyone in the country doing a putt during the timeouts now huh? Where are my royalties?

 

[BlueBleeder]

So Harding is starting, why?

Vorst is sick....coach said he may play a few minutes, but was unable to practice yesterday.

 

[SycamoreStateofMind]

It’s just magical in a physical game how Murray hasn’t been called for a foul in 8 minutes and us 3. All season long. Just incredible.
