We are just finding ways to win right now and I think we clean up the turnovers. No way WKU shoots like they did in Norfolk. ODU does it again and finds a way.

ODU 81
WKU 75

Get this one, and we can breathe a little.

Hopefully, we can put the Florida schools away at home early and get McClinton some PT. I don't know where he is at this point, but any minutes that he can give us in the tourney would be invaluable.

Best balanced, best shooting team in CUSA. While they don’t shoot a lot of 3s, they have efficient snipers. WKU’s offense leads to a big FT advantage (most FT attempts/g in CUSA games; 8.9/g advantage on opponents).

In conference games, WKU is #1 pts/g and FG%; #2 FG% defense and blocks/g; #3 scoring margin; #4 steals/g; #5 RB margin.
Individually Justin Johnson is #1 RB; #2 FG% (would be #2 3% if he qualified) and #8 pts/g. Coleby is #3 blocks and #4 RB (would be #1 FG% if he qualified).

Hey 35, I'm no doctor but I wouldn't be counting much on McClinton from what I saw. That game in got in, he looked fairly good at first, made a beautiful move to the basket but a couple minutes later he seemed to be hobbling quite bad. Looked to me like he took a blow to his knee when he came down with a rebound.

We win this next one and we are officially on the "hottest teams in the nation" list!

Win this next one and I don't see how we get left out of the NIT. (if we beat the FUs) We could even play ourselves into bubble talk if we win out until the championship, but with the WM loss, Im afraid we'd be on the outside looking in.

Yup. 23-4 looks better than 22-5

I just want to win for the optics, ie. not getting swept.

But yes, a win would definitely boost our NIT resume.

Teams have not faired well with us after having such an easy contest with Charlotte. It’s like oh now we got to play defense and against a better defense. Also, style of play is different.

We got this.

And enough with all that NIT talk. That's not aiming high at all. Ain't nobody got time for that.

ODU is a big dance school and it's time we get back to doing what we do.

Yeah, I'm with you guys. I want to WIN. WK is very good. We beat them on their court, get to 23-5, well, that is really something considering how we started. All we can do at this point is win what's in front of you. If you end the regular season having won 20 of your last 22, I'm not sure what more you can ask of a team.

It's exciting to see the turn around these players and coaches have made.

Is this game on Stadium as well?

Um..... 22 of 22?

Sorry, I know what you meant. Just giving you a hard time.

First time watching via Stadium app on Roku last night and I have to say the quality was great.

I actually have the Stadium channel via Sling but the feed just said "offline" and nothing was streaming. So I went to watchstadium.com on the Silk browser on my firetv and it worked just fine. Although, it did crash/freeze with about 5 min left in the game. But just restarted Silk and launched the stream again.

PSU Vue (which I use for streaming TV) doesn't have Stadium, but the app is free and worked pretty good.

Where can I watch Stadium?
