8 mins a long way to go
For sure, but to this point, I love the way these guys are playing. It'll show me something more if they can protect the lead. I'd rather they do not change the plan and just get into a purely defensive stance and try to run out the clock. Keep the pedal to the metal; it's what got them here. Others may differ, but I almost always feel this way.

77-65 with 4 and change left. Wolfpack making a run but Pirates hitting free throws and maintaining a double digit lead

Oustanding performance. Great free throw shooting too. I don't see how playing some teams like St Bonnie, VCU or Tulsa in the early OOC schedule and being 3-2 would have helped these team as some posters suggested.

After seeing the Giants blow all the double digit leads and for years start off like 1-6 this has been very refreshing to watch.

Great win. I was really impressed with this team’s athleticism. One on the most athletic teams I can remember SHU having.

Solid, unexpected win!

It's performances like this that energize the fan base after the past year or so.

Did not post because the Karma was SO GOOD. Hey just a surprising Confident Team we watched today. Still room for improvement but outstanding play all the way around. Not lost was how well they broke the full court pressure late. That's a Great sign. That game and hopefully the next two should bolster the attendance st The Rock.

I just hope Holloway keeps his foot on NC State’s throat. They’re going to score more and have a run.

do not slow up the offense
Shu did just that. Different guys did different things at different times to push back a tarheel surge

Played a team that wore their ranking on their jerseys and didn't play hard for most of the game.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
