Bison fall 89-78.
Great fight to try and get back in it but just couldn't make enough shots and Miami made some big ones every time we made a run. Tough way to open the tourney, hopefully this won't lead to a loss of energy and we end up losing more than we need to on this trip. Time to rest up and get ready for Incarnate Word who got spanked by Montana today.
We went without a FG for over 8 minutes at one point and 3 minutes at another point in the 2nd half. Thankfully some excellent freethrow shooting helped. But you can not go 11 minutes without a FG and expect to win. Great fight to get back in it and not give up. Move on to next game. Go Bison.

To be fair we had guys beating their man to go get layups and they'd just get fouled on the drive to make them earn it at the line, yes we went without the FG but it didn't quite feel like the droughts we've had in the past where nothing was happening other than throwing up garbage shots. We had a bunch of open looks that we couldn't get to fall though and that unfortunately seems like it'll be how our season goes, we were driving and dishing well but we need guys to hit those shots and we struggled a bit in the 2nd half to do so and that's when we started being aggressive to the basket and crawling back into the game from the FT line. Live by the 3, die by the 3 is looking like the team motto so we'll see how it goes.
Too many threes. We were 21-51 from the field and of that, only 8-17 in 2 point fgs.

At least it seemed like a competitive game.

Just from reading these posts, it sounded like the weave was back in full effect.
