Q is back on the bench

Putting Braden back in, up 16 with 3 min left, after he has put on such heavy minutes and we just saw one of our starters get hurt. Come on. Empty the bench.

Quise seemed to be walking fine after the game on the way back to locker room

Schwieger bounce back game. Calling my shot.

Boom!

Also if there was every a game for Knight to go 1-6, it was probably this one with all our shooters going off

Yea that was a poor choice. Coach V needed to pull guys, that’s a rookie mistake that hopefully he will learn from.

Overall good game, offense was clicking. Congrats Lucas on a new career high. Not a lot to complain about, except turnovers. Against a better team that will burn us. Let’s see better control next time out. Great win guys, hopefully this brings some confidence for Mo State and we can return the favor and win by 15 in Springfield.

Really wondering about Clemons. I’m hoping it’s a 1 game rest.

Yeah between him and Marquise I’m worried for the game Sunday. We really could use all hands on deck for that one.

I thought Coach Valentine was a little more demonstrative with his players, especially, the big men. It may have been the camera angle, but he was talking to Hutson, Knight and Welch as they were coming off the court.

Nice pick on Schwieger!

Really strong first 15 minutes. Not as good later, but we did enough to keep them from going on a bigger run. Seemed like a game to get Saint more minutes between injuries and foul trouble.

Couple good things from Hutson including running the floor and sealing off a defender to create space.

It was great to see Lucas go for dunks on drives. Seems like we never get the benefit of calls on those plays.
