If we only had Boum for another year. A lot of D was played in the second half by X. Jack Nuge with a double-double and was a force down the end of the game

Nice win, we don’t win that game without Boum. We played better with Freemantle out of the game.

Hunter and Des helped fuel that second-half play. What can someone say about Souley's play, smart, 23 points 11-14 from the foul line, and locked up the game down the end of the game.

Does anyone know what the dustup was at the end of the game around mid-court? I know Jones was hot and Jack had to restrain him.

The last point, that was the crowd we should have every game
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Souley and Nunge were terrific at the end of the game but give the game ball to coach Miller. He was terrific. His subs, intensity and end of game situations just outstanding. We lose that game without him at the helm. Great W X.

Good to get a win vs a decent team. The defense was better in the second half. Boum and Nunge had good games. Claude and Hunter were good off the bench .Tandy played 1 minute. Miller is worth every cent they are paying him. Now get ready to kick the Bearcats ass

Well stated.

A notable stat: X 5 for 12 in three point shooting. Conversely, the last few years X often jacked up more than 12 bad threes in games (shots too early in the shot clock, a guy who was ice cold would keep firing, etc). Coach Miller’s emphasis on good shot selection and the right players shooting threes was evident this evening. The offensive efficiency of the Musketeers is notably enhanced under Coach Miller.

A much needed and quality victory over West Virginia. Kudos to the Cintas crowd for ensuring the home court advantage this evening.

Muskieman’s favorite ref O’Connell was terrible as usual.

That d'bag was beyond terrible. And the worst of all was that call against Boum to end the first half. It's amazing how consistently bad that guy is, and how much his calls favor our opponents.

He is really bad and calls way too many fouls (offensive) in general. The foul on Boum was ridiculous and resulted in a four point swing.
