No 2nd half TO's. Wow...that's clutch

Great win on the road!

So nice to see the team clutch from the line in a game where we absolutely needed to be.

Very proud of this team and how they came our in the 2h. Even though there wasn't a loud crowd against us, this is a tough place to play. Just ask cincy and uconn. Great win. Now lets take care of victory against south Florida. Nic and Marcus - just beasts today.

Our RPI just jumped from #45 (just before the end of the game) to #41 (just now) according to http://www.rpiforecast.com/live-rpi.html

so many guys stepped up in those final seconds. Shawn, Nick and Ryan all hit 2 FTs to salt this one away. Great 2nd half by Nic and another good game from Markus. Man, I can't wait to get Yanick back and be at full strength for the stretch run

Agreed. Yanick is going to be critical to have at the end of the year

"5 point game with 4.8 seconds. Stranger things have happened" -Mike Patrick

Have they? Has a team ever come back from a 5 point deficit with less than 5 seconds remaining? Disclaimer: Mike Patrick is the man

ECM, when he said that it reminded me of an SMU game at Rice in the late 70's I believe. SMU was up by 6 with 18 seconds to go and lost. I hope my memory is correct.

Do not recall the exacts, but SMU was 4 points up once and just a few seconds remaining. We fouled a player on a 3 point shot that went in. He made the free throw for a 4 point play and we lost in overtime. We can find ways to lose when called upon to do so.

Proud of the way the team responded in the second half. Cut down on the sloppy play, tightened up the defense and Nic got the offense going. Loved the energy brought by the mustang fans as well. Heard quite a few S-M-U chants come through the television. Can't think of the last time I heard that at a road game.

good game mustangs. way to put it togehter in the 2nd half

[Rebel10]

We need another shooter for next year to help. I hope we get Dominique Matthews.

Nic and Marcus - just beasts today.

Incredible effort

[Stallion]

TCU or Tulsa beat us on 2 3s in the Dement era. With fouls and TOs it is not so impossible. Just 2 shots

[East Coast Mustang]

We've come a long way since scoring 28 in an entire game vs UAB two years ago

[PoconoPony]

I was at a Portland Trail Blazer game in the mid 70s ( Walton team ) and they scored 11 points in the last 8 seconds to win. Figure that,.
