Not smart by Lindsey, but it won't matter.

Is Lindsey the goon tonight

Our smartest player with 2 boneheaded decisions to end the game but Lindsey was a big key to our comeback.

Another great Team win but we need to make these adjustments earlier. Tired of these heart attack games.

Ok odds are Ish never plays anywhere near that bad ever again.

god, what a huge win! Ole Miss was playing lights out and we had way too many turnovers, and they shot 22-23 from the line and only had 8 turnovers. massive win!

Ole Mess had some good players. Kennedy no slouch as a coach either.

I think I may give Acuil the player of the game. Made his last 4 free throws I believe.

Acuil was big time on the offensive end. And of course Lecomte.

Was the line BU-4? Lotsa folks who engage in that dirty dirty habit not pleased with Jake.

I am not sure whether to be just happy that we are winning games despite not playing near our best or in some cases very smart or to be worried that in the end it is going to bite us in the ass in the post season

Kick ass. And the PJ mask things beat Romeo too. Great night all around.

We continue to prove we can pull out tough wins. I'm ready for us to dominate somebody though. Just one game that's not a nail-biter. That OU game seems like it was a long time ago.

Perimeter play must improve dramatically if we want to make this an E8+ type season.

Maybe dramatically is too strong a word. But it must improve.

The guys really don't seem to be affected by the pressure. I noticed that with 2 or 3 minutes to go, they were smiling in the huddle. With a minute to go getting ready to throw in the ball, Ish was smiling. It's good that they don't get tight late.

if you look at what other top 10 teams did on the road this week, this was a nice win, even tho we did have some atrocious stretches of play. we also once again made big plays down the stretch to pull out the win after trailing by 15 at one point, so that's a positive.

Good way to look at it. Can't disagree. Just really need Ish and Freeman to shake it off and return to their early season selves. Otherwise, KU scares me. That and cut down the turnovers overall and we're probably fine.

I really think Motley is the front runner for B12 POTY or at least should be. He's a man among boys. Without him we're screwed. Without Mason, then Graham would step in and average 20 imo.

Ish had some bad plays tonight but Drew put Ish on Tyree for several of the last possessions and Ish kept him in check. It was a big part of hanging onto the lead at the end.

Me too. But if they're just waffles I'll take some of those as well.
