As happens in games of this type, thought it was kind of sloppy. Shooting needs to improve as we seem very inconsistent. But glad to see him playing more players early in these types of games

Definitely the time to get the sloppiness out and corrected plus nerves taken care of. Experience on the bench will pay off later in the year.

So I can assume the Blue Raider folks showed up better than they did for the Evansville game? Like I said, didn’t watch this one on TV like Evansville.

Box score reported an attendance of 3,812 for Murray St game, & an attendance of 3,509 for Evansville.
After the next 4 road games will be Rhodes College on Dec. 4. Anticipate a slightly smaller crowd even with 3 or 4 added losses. Probably in the 3,000-3,250 range. Those attending are mostly tried & true season ticket holders. Money's already spent so why not get out for a couple hours.

Given that I have personally witnessed how well Murray St fans travel to Belmont, Nashville, and the conference tournaments in the OVC days, I would go out on a limb and say they probably outnumbered Blue Raider fans yesterday. I didn’t watch the game though as I was committed to another event yesterday evening.

They had a decent crowd but definitely didn’t outnumber MT fans.

I thought Jada had a great game also She can really shoot and the team ran smoothly while she was running the point.

If we get to play Tennessee again in the tournament I would like to see Jada & Courtney both on the floor together. Combining their ball handling skilks MT could turn UT's high pressure trapping against itself.

We beat them by 32, very good game AND we played the bench most of the game which was great to see - definitely hope the bench use continues. Jada Harrison had a fantastic game. Compare our win margin to #22 Alabama who won by 29 and Mississippi State who won by 28. Plus, their coach said we were the best team they had faced all year (at least defensively).

Night & day difference from the free throw line for Boldyreva & Blakely. Combined, both Boldyreva & Blakely finish 14-16 from the line. Considerable improvement from the other night in Knoxville. Of course much less pressure at home in Murphy Center.
Glad to see additional minutes for backups. Also glad there was no emotional hangover from UT game. Good sign of a mature team.
I believe we can learn from that loss, & have some solid performances in the upcoming holiday tournament.

I wasn't there for the game--had another commitment. These highlights speaks volumes about our MBB team; team started out fine, but didn't finish the job. See a few nice plays (and some winnable games) here and there, but not enough consistency to be at the upper echelon of C-USA play in March. It's not evident a NCAA or NIT appearance is forthcoming this year. OTOH, Murray State is in good form to be a contender whenever they start Missouri Valley Conference play. Not sure if the Racers make the dance since their conference is more competitive and a notch higher; I wouldn't count them out to make some noise.

I was at the game and my thoughts were a bit mixed. I saw the potential of the team but we looked horrible on defense.

Part of that was sloppy/lazy play but a lot of it was Murray couldn’t miss a shot. I saw plenty of highly contested shots and they were falling. I’m not sure if it was more our defense or more just one of nights for the Racers. I’ll hold for some more games before I hit the panic mode.

It is unfortunate they laid an egg because you could tell the fans really wanted to get into the game. They answered every time to quiet the crowd. I have a feeling that was their opportunity to get fans invested this season and they blew it. I doubt any games will be highly attended this season.

There weren’t many fans there. We have the worst administration in country. It is utterly baffling how McDevitt is still employed here.

Go back and read my stuff from four - six years ago and tell me what’s different today? Or do you want me to save you the time and tell you the same problems you see now have been ever present under CNM?
