Secure the ball and make your free throws. ...or not. |

Up 3 with about 4 seconds left. Foul them and put them on the line

Phew. Well if KP and Pratt (outside of whatever the f*** that pass was at the end) keep playing like this, the panthers are gonna have a pretty lethal trio on the offensive end in HL play when Freeman comes back.

We hang on for the W. Looked terrible on D in the second half, particularly in guarding the 3. But unlike the old BCS there’s no bonus for winning pretty.

Pacer gave them a clean shot to tie it.
The Panthers are better than this RMU team (even with BJ and Franklin out) so I can’t really say it’s a great win, but it’s a win nonetheless. And we’re back to 1-1 in conference.
If KP or EP have a down game, it doesn’t seem like we have a shot. 5 bench points today is not promising. But EP and KP (especially KP in my mind…. He seems to have really put in 110% since the Browning unpleasantness) have stepped up.
I don’t like our odds against WSU though.

Also, KP and EP (except for that awful pass) came up clutch from the free throw line. I’m shaking from the stands and they just make FT after FT.

KP back to back games over 25 pts. We needed that big time.

I think they made 8 or 9 straight free throws at one point to stay in front. We jumped from 56 percent to 70 percent during that run at the line

I don’t like our odds against WSU though. I'm guessing Coach Nagy and his staff were at the Arena scouting tonight. |

Stop Pullian. They’ve scored something like 2/3 of our points in the last few games. I’m not expecting Freeman or Franklin to be good to go by Sunday. They’d only be 2 days removed from tonight’s game, and it’s clear Freeman doesn’t care about the team since he didn’t wear a tuxedo on the bench tonight. |

They’d only be 2 days removed from tonight’s game, and it’s clear Freeman doesn’t care about the team since he didn’t wear a tuxedo on the bench tonight. Wayne Larivee said Franklin is expected to be out "roughly six weeks." Regarding Freeman, I cannot recall the exact words Larivee used, but he said Freeman wants to play Sunday. It is hard to predict the timeframe for return from a back injury. Those of us who are Brewer fans went through this last summer with Christian Yelich's back injury. I'm sure the goal is to allow sufficient time to minimize the likelihood of reoccurrence. Having stated that, going back to what Ghost of PBJ relayed when he first broke the news of Freeman's injury weeks ago, it sounds like the Wright State game was the target they were hoping for all along. Or, perhaps it is as simple as having BJ come back when he runs out of flashy pants to wear on the bench.😉 |

Anyone talk to Bart at Goolsby's tonight? I always appreciate hearing about the postgame experience.

Wilson and Fields really struggled tonight, couldnt get a board or do much out there. EP KP and BJ should be a nice backcourt when freeman is back next week hopefully. Doubt he goes Sunday from all ive heard. Franklin if he broke his wrist or hand is likely 6 weeks out, it is his non shooting hand but hard to know exactly what he did to that wrist. He had a pretty substantial soft cast on it tonight. 15 gave some nice minutes tonight while Davis really struggled knowing where to be. Bart with another lategame coaching misstep taking that timeout before the Pratt turnover. complete waste of a timeout, why call the timeout there to leave you with none left when you could save it for either A. Not being able to inbound the ball or B. If your first pass gets hard trapped then you can call the timeout. Just seems we panic on the bench late in the game. Team locked it down from the FT line late and made them when they needed too. Refs called an odd game and Bart likely shoulda been teched up but when you miss a call that bad on the breakaway youll get more leash, the black ref even went up to that ref who was nearest to the play and from what i could lipread was telling him not to tech up bart. Good win and crowd got into it late. Sunday is a big game for us.
