Free throws were the difference in this game.

[RaginScotsman]

7-1. Not bad.

[Frenchie35]

If they are shooting a 3 they get 3, but still, they must make them

Agree, if they make it which is a low %. Now at the line, they can make two unless they intentionally Miss the second and we have a higher % of getting the rebound and a high % of a win. Only my opinion......hell we still won by 6 in OT......

Overall a nice win, especially while missing a guy averaging a double double in Dou. Harper playing that many minutes including down the stretch and in OT shows what the coaches think of him, he will probably be starting soon. I think both of his baskets came in that stretch where the 9 point deficit was erased bin about a minute and a half. Great shooting performance by Butts once again and Mylik Wilson is just a stud doing everything and grabbing some big time rebounds down the stretch. Would still like to see Richards and Akwuba alongside each other, was a little surprised that didn’t happen with Dou out.

I’m far from the basketball expert, but Texas team seemed to be pretty good. Glad we we were better.

Harper played more minutes because Au's knee was really bothering him. You can tell the kid is going to be a good one.

I just marvel at how good Wilson is. You look at the end of the night at his line and he's got 20, 10, 4 (asst) 2 blk and 3-4 steals. There are guards who score more and shoot better. I wouldn't trade Wilson for any of them.

I have only seen a few games, but I think this team is on the right track if it can keep this core together. Akwuba is a steal. An athletic big who can rebound, block shots and actually stay out of foul trouble. Everyone already knows how valuable Wilson is.
The obvious weaknesses are PG play, 3pt shooting and turnovers (probably related to PG play). Butts can shoot so he needs to be our primary 3pt guy. I don’t know enough about our squad to say we have the PG of the future on the roster.
Not sure we are conference contenders, but at least we are playing hard and trying to play team basketball.
