And Hey!.....Go Racers!!!

I hope we press a little and hustle a lot. Limit our turnovers and take smart shots. Fight for every rebound like it's a matter of life or death. We won't get a bye in the first round of the conf tourney.  But, I'm hoping we can at least catch Belmont. They've got a tough last 2 games of the season. I don't ever want to finish behind them in the standings. We CAN win this game. Come on. Let's win our 3rd in a row.

[popeyejonesfan]

White and Anderson could be huge off the bench. Missouri St. doesn't go that deep normally.

[jcruse64]

Go Racers!!! Rebound, defend, and hustle. Don't be skeered of that bench, Coach.

[atlantaracer]

2 rebounds already we did not get because with either did not box out or did not crash the boards.  No urgency or hustle is the big issue with this team. Perry out as a result 

[bjhracer]

Our starting lineup just does not come out ready to play.  No box out.  Leaving 3pt shooters wide open.  There is a reason teams that can't shoot the three do well against us.    Terrible start.  Hope Prohm corrects it.

[Wigg2152]

Do this "team" have any hustle or fight in it? Don't rebound. Lazy on Defense. I just don't get it. 

[Racerband Alum]

If the players don't wanna play just quit so we can replace people that want to play.  This is just beyond frustrating. 

[RacerSurveyor]

The commentators were calling out Perry for "just standing there"...

That's about right.

[STLRacer]

Would be nice if Jamari used his body that much to fight for rebounds with other players as he did with Perry.

[smidge34]

Monkey and football keep coming to mind. 

[jcruse64]

Guys lose their man too quickly, letting an easy bucket or dunk. Keep the ball out of Rob's hands until he frees up for an open look, otherwise it's ending up in the opponent's hands. Quincy needs to be on the bench, he just isn't matching up well in this one at all.

[ERacerHead]

Hard to believe that we already beat these guys.

Where is Morgan?
