Let's lighten up, shall we.?

As I read posts, it seems to me we're being a bit too hard on our guys. They just won in Manhattan, not a given like it was in the past. This was 55 hours after an emotional, overtime, upset loss at home. It was the 3rd game in 5 days and 5th game in 14 days. We have sole possession of 1st place in the league despite lots of on and off-court adversity. I, for one, say there's lots more pluses than minuses...

Are you reading post-game posts or in-game posts?

If it's the latter, there is always a big difference on this board--and all boards--between the raw, emotional posts during games and those afterwards.

There aren't many posts on here to begin with, but I didn't sense a lot of negative post-game posts. I can't speak for others, but I thought it was a very solid, gritty win--in fact, I posted that I thought we won in spite of playing against 5 K-Staters and 3 zebras.

I'll take this win anytime--very gutsy, tough, grind-it-out kind of win.

Yeah, maybe I'm just looking for more post-game posts and acknowledgement of effort after a big win...

I'm pretty happy with the W last night. They looked tired, and I think having Bragg back helped a lot.

Love it that HCBS is giving them 2 days off. No practice until Thursday, I believe. Let these guys catch a break and recover.

Any win on the road is a good win in our league, and a win at K-State is always a good thing.

Good win, last night!

I do not think we win that game without Carlton. I agree that the guys looked really tired and just willed this win. I hope they recover and have more energy because they will need it both Sat @ Tech and Monday at the field house. They will need a lot of energy for both of those games.
