Of course, another missed walk but whatever. Play some defense for 8 seconds.

Deserve to lose. The call was for Mitchell to rush in and toss one up amongst the trees?? Brutal.


Deserve to lose is right. And I fully expect Butler to hit a shot here.

I have a bad feeling we're gonna hear a whistle here.

Quality win against a ranked opponent....but man it didn't have to be that ugly

Did we score in the second half?

Take 'em however you can get 'em. Great win.
rudylaw

19 points in the second. That's a huuuuuge problem. Teams are starting to adjust in the second half and we have no answer since we have no post game right now.

This game was pathetic and they should not be happy about this win. Vitals block is the only thing that saved us
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Hell of a game and finish. This team is fun to watch. Keep it going!
