GAME THREAD: men's basketball vs. UAB

[Charleston Pony]

When this team shoots as poorly as they are shooting today, they are capable of losing to the worst teams in the American and UAB is not one of those. UAB now up 8 and threatening to run away with this game

We just lack “smoothness”, athleticism - most elite program players would have jammed that last break that Phelps had, we get it blocked and a foul. #KlutzyU

Good to see Harris knock down a three and get involved offensively. Woke up the fans that actually came out today but it's going to take great defense and plenty of transition buckets to have any chance of pulling this one out. Right now, this team's lack of consistent scorers/shooters looks like it's going to make us a middle of the pack team in the American

Like I said, “…off the foot of Chuck Harris…”
