Need better game going forward....This type of game last season and we don't win. This was a ugly win.

We made it much harder than it had to be by missing nearly half our FTs. Counting missed front-ends, we probably left 15 points on the floor just from the stripe alone. Even normally reliable FT shooters like Turner and Williams were missing.

I thought they were focused and showed emotion, but just couldn't hit a shot.  And then Peters hits four consecutive threes to make it close.  How often does that happen?

I thought they stood around on offense more than usual, but maybe Barnes told them to slow down the half court offense as a strategy?  Uncharacteristic lack of motion, but as the shot clock wound down they would start moving, so maybe it was deliberate.

Agree that this was more of a survival.  But our last win against them was a bit misleading.  I think we shot around 60% from 3 point range in that one, which is really just luck.  Sometimes the ball goes in, sometimes it doesn't.

Could have been better but we won and that's all that really matters.

Barnes had it right..... fortunate.  Did a great job for the most part on defense and on the boards, but the offense was awful in all aspects: shooting, turnovers, and free throws.

Glad to have the W. We will play better tomorrow (I hope).

Offense definitely struggled
