Well let's hope the goats win a few more this year and they decide not to fire Gonzo the coach.

None of the regular season games really matter after losing to UAB, but man I hate losing to a .500 Toppers team, at home.

We shot 44% from the FT line in a game we lost by 6. Absolutely pathetic and we deserved to loss.

Free throws, man... Free throws.

Typical MT, any sport, good crowd, pathetic effort.

Limping into senior day, and the tournament...

It's the Cream Theory. (Credit to an LSU fan for this one, but applies to MT)

Whenever MT is in a position to achieve success on any level, everyone associated with MT from coaches to fans to players to staff experiences a dramatic tightening of the sphincter so great, we cannot help but choke.

Well. our guys played with their heads up their butts, so I can see how sphincter tightening would cause our guys to choke.....

WKU killed us on the boards, they got a lot of 2nd chance points...getting a bit worried. We are not peaking. Next game is a must win.
