BJ Freeman on the radio postgame show:
"I was glad everyone was still comfortable and still playing their game when I came back."
"If we play defense, everything will come."
"Elijah stepped up really big" (shutting down Trey Calvin).
"I scared myself a little bit" (at the end of the first half when he went down with his back issue).
He said a lot more. He talks too fast (like an excited Eddie Murphy) for me to accurately state it here.

This team does seem to care about each other much more than they did a month ago, and that is as big as anything.

WSU isnt that good, yall act like they are duke. They have the same record and have lost to some average ass mid majors too, and only common loss they have is vs Green Bay. Id say we just have to play disciplined to win this game. Spread at 4.5 shows vegas agrees with my assessment. Once more going to need Wilson and Fields to actually show up today. They were awful friday and need to do better. We essentially played even with Davis and Chattanooga. Wright State is better than both of those teams, and are built better to destroy our weaknesses. Thus, we need to play our best game of the year to beat them. And so far, they aren’t. Aged like milk WSU sucks on D and we exploited that.

The Panthers played their best game of the year. There’s still room for improvement, obviously, but Wright State will be near the top of the conference at the end of the year with Holden, Noel, Braun, and Calvin.

Yes we played our best game but its also the first game in the post MB era that we have our best player again. They are literally one of the worst defensive teams in the nation and it showed out tonight. KP was taking it right at Calvin all game, outside of Holden the rest of those guys are absolute negatives on defense.

This is going to seem like a small thing to some, but can we PLEASE not acknowledge the visiting team's rooting section?! I guarantee you that the "Town of Grafton" was not wearing Black & Gold nor was it cheering for the Panthers!!!

I thought those fans in the student section were hilarious. Heckling trey the whole game. Couldn’t make a shot. I'm guessing that he made perhaps 3 shots?!

"We kind of got pushed around in the first half – they were more physical than we were," head coach Bart Lundy said about WSU. "I thought our pressure was way better in the second half. We got them sped up and then obviously we had an offensive explosion. In the second half everything started to open up and I thought when we really started to play well it was great to see the spirit of our team and our fans and it became fun. With the struggle we have been through, that's the first time it's been fun to be there and be in the atmosphere since maybe early in the year."
He opens up so many things," Lundy said of Freeman. "He draws attention and then can make the right play. He scored points tonight but he also finds guys. He will find the shooters and especially offensively, he makes everyone's life a little bit easier."

Hard to be physical though with the insane reffing in the first half, They could use their hands to defend while we werent allowed too.
I dont complain about the refs ever really, but man that one dude is really the worst. Everytime i see that goober i know its gonna be f***ing who knows. I didnt look up the goaltend call but from my view it looked like a block.

Love those 31-10 runs from the 16:57 to 8:53. Down 9 to up by 12 points.
