1/24: 8-10, 3-6 Nebraska is here. We won by 5 there. Their starting PF is out with a broken finger; he was out last time we played them. We score more points but give up more. For the first time we are giving up more than we're scoring. We have a big edge inside, and we need to take advantage of that.
1/25: We fall behind early. Down 3 after 10. Shooting .217. Down 9 at the half, shooting 20.6%. Discouraging... Tuck has 3 fouls. They're shooting 52.2%. at the half I tell my guys they're blowing a game they can win.
“Make some shots, damn it. Play some D. You can beat this team!”
We get back in it early, take a lead with 12 to play. Up 8 with 10 to go. OT!
79-74 in OT! We led by 11 late in regulation, then proceeded to blow the lead. At the break before OT all I said was, “Now it's time to see what you're made of. I think I know. Do you? Impress me, damn it!” They did.
23, 4 for SG Jam Ster, 18, 8, 3 steals for Mill, 11, 11 for Tuck but he fouled out.
+14 RBs. 18 TOs but they had 27. They shot 51.9%, which says a lot about our lousy D; we shot 35.2%. But we took 17 more shots. They made 10 threes to our 4. We won it at
the line, +17. We also won it in the paint, +18, +14 on 2nd chances.
After losing 4 of our last 5 we desperately needed this win! It feels good.
We're 11-8, 4-5, tied for 7th, but again, only one ranked team left to play.
The object is more and more colorful as it gets closer to the probe. And yes, it is broadcasting sound that seems to be some sort of music, but unlike anything we've ever heard. It is strangely soothing. So it seems obvious that this is a created object, not anything natural. It is remarkably beautiful and compelling. A Council member said,
“If I were wanting to build a trap, this is what I would build if I had the capability.”
Food for thought!
