Jacks were up 63-62, then got outscored 10-2 the rest of the way. Nice 2nd half effort. Tough playing without 2 starters. Horstman really stepped up though.
Spirited comeback, but SDSU ran out of gas. First half killed us.
Final: 72-65 ODU.
Thank you Jordan, Brayden, Marcus, and Chad for great careers.
Yup.
I wish I could feel good about this game, but the first half was just too ugly. Second half didn't totally make up for it. Guys didn't quit though.
Maybe they'll take that lesson into next year--play inspired from the opening tip, rather than wait. Anybody can beat you if you don't bring it from the very beginning and keep it up for 40 minutes.
On to women's basketball and the WNIT . . .
. . . on further reflection: The Jacks at full strength win this game, and probably win it fairly easily. Dang near won it anyway, even with two starters on the shelf.
Not only Horstman receives kudos from yours truly, but also Borman. He was in position to get several defensive rebounds. He may not be the scoring machine that we expected, but he seems to be coming a good player.
