Good win Jacks! Can't comment much about the game, only caught the last 4 min on channelsurfing. Could've used less fouls towards the end, but stupid fouls like that didn't bite us....this time....

I was thinking I might get banned for my premature post regarding a Jacks win. Thanks guys for pulling it out and not making me look more like an ashe.
Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!--Bluto--
Listened to the second half of the game. Listened to them pull out to an 11 pt lead, blow it, go back to 8, and then hold on. Thank goodness for some timely 3's and good FT shooting.
Wolters once again, very, very nice. A little sloppy with the ball late, but the kid is simply money from the line (even with 2 misses tonight) and draws fouls more than one can imagine for a freshman guard. And 8 assists to go with it. Appears to be the most consisent player on the team right now. Kai is right up there also. Ga. Callahan needs to find his stroke for this team to legitimately think they can contend to win the tournament. And some consistent play down low would be good too.
Need to bring it big now Saturday. ORU is going to po'd about the loss in B-Town. Get that all important tie-breaker!
We talked before the game that this would be a difficult game, that we'd have to play 40 minutes and we did, but we shouldn't have had to. If our kids would have done just little bit better job and paid a little bit more attention and been a little bit more aggressive, this would have been a 20-point game instead of a six-point game.
That's the guy I remember. Seasoned a bit by a rough transition period. But that's pretty much vintage Nagy right there.
Kai Williams, double-double -- 11 rebounds, 10 points, 37 minutes--the man has found another gear to finish up his collegiate career, I think--and that's great to see . . .
Nate Wolters, 8 assists, 2 turnovers (4.0 a/to ratio--that's huge) and career-high 17 points, 29 minutes. Starting PG Michael Palarca played 11 minutes. The future is here for SDSU at the point guard position.
Clint Sargent 5-9 3-pointers, 18 points to lead the team. His 3's in the 2nd half were . . . essential!
Moss had a nice line, too . . . 2-3 field goals, 3-4 free throws, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 27 minutes.
SDSU shot 43%, CC 37%. SDSU is -1 in turnovers, 12-13. SDSU won the game by getting 3 more rebounds than CC, I think--39-36. That's six points if you convert all 3 possessions--which happens to be the margin of victory.
I think that this games shows how the team has changed from the past couple. In years past, the men would have probably folded and ended up losing this game.
Would I have loved to see them blow them out of the water? Yes. But, I am very happy complaining about how much we won by rather than talking about how they blew a double digit lead and lost the game in the last two minutes. These baby steps are finally starting to add up.
Coach Nagy is beginning sound more like his D2 days when the team in general did not match their best expectations. I think we will be blown out in Tulsa if they do not play better than they did at Centenary. That was one of coaches comments, and I agree.
Thank goodness the Gents are leaving the Summit. From what I could tell from the Channelsurfing view, that place they play in is a dump and the people there seem to make noise, but our guys seem to never get it in four gear as we shoul have won by 20 or more. Lets move on and be gratiful for a a win and the first sweep in the Summit.
