The Falcons hoops teams gutted out a victory yesterday at Anderson Arena, and it was a win the team needed. But it wasn't pretty. We're not picky right now, after four straight losses. We'll take the win.
It was a small crowd of about 1,000, and we were playing one of D1's worst teams---a team with no D1 wins this year (or even NCAA wins), and we held on to win. We shot lousy (29%), we missed a ton of free throws (15), let EIU get it to within one possession.
But, as Coach Orr said in the post game, we contested the three that could have tied it, and gutted out the win. As Coach said, "There's nothing like a win."
Nate had 17 points and 14 boards, and Joe Jakubowski had 10 boards (??). EIU shot 29% too, so there were lots of rebounds available!
Moten got the start in place of Chris Knight, who continues his freshmen blues. Most of the other plays continued to struggle.
Well, Duquesne is next, at AA on Wednesday, and then we start the conference schedule.
