Huge run by the good guys....the crowd is starting to be a real factor too.

Wow, it's loud.

Making this little run kinda early. Have to sustain it.

[FirefightnRick]

Great gut check effort by this team.

We won't win. Jj should have to wear an Old set of Coach Andy's sideline warm-ups if we lose.

I think Niko earned himself first big off the bench... If not starting rights after his showing tonight.

Rick

Hope he's okay.

Any mention in the post-game?

[Roadruner]

Refs didn't help us at all tonight... Blew at least 3 calls in the last two minutes..

That said what kill us is a lack of depth and we know why...

And Niko played his best game tonight...

MT Out rebounded – shot 50% from the field and held NT scoreless for 9 minutes in the first half

NT shot 40% from the field and missed several 6 footers, 2 footers and point blank put backs

MT will most likely buzz through the rest of the conference and pick up the number one seed

You guys will have to put the lipstick on this one

[Green P1]

Hope he's okay.

Any mention in the post-game?

He's fine. Seemed to me he was taken out due to poor decision making and ineffectiveness,

[CMJ]

That's more or less what JJ said in the post game.

Why don't you ask TheTastyGreek what he thought about tonight's refs. Here is a clue... the refs were not thrilled with hearing his thoughts about them.

You are my new hero Tasty, way to take one for the team.

I was beside myself when the shot clock got reset when there was something like 45 second left on the game clock. The ball never hit the rim for that MTSU possession.

[CMJ]

Hank and Steven were beside themselves as well.

[Mean Green Scrappy]

Every game you just don't know what to expect from these refs. It's sad. It looked like Rick V might have been yelling at the refs too at the end of the game in the tunnel when they were walking off the court.

They got booed by the students pretty good on the way through the breeze way.
