To me, "big wins" are more about their significance going forward than in isolation. Something about the vibe of our team in that game makes me think we will see more of the same product.
Have you considered those Dogs?
Beating them with 8 players on the road! We finally didn't give up the lead. Kept double digit lead most of 2nd half
This team could be really good.
The Freshmen are all growing up and Sherman and White are becoming pretty special inside, something we haven't had in a long time.
I think we have more talent across the board than we have had in a while . The issue was always making all of the new guys gel with the Big 3 returners.
Winning the past two on the road "could" be the turning point.
A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Boykins, Bracey and McCree, three names that Old Dominion had no answer for on Saturday evening.

Powell didn't play last weekend. Tech is likely 5-0 in the league right now if he had been able to. UTSA outrebounded Tech by 12, and an extra defensive rebound or two down the stretch probably would have saved that game.
Last Saturday in the last few minutes there was just the feeling that game was always going to slip away. Today the feeling was that Tech was always going to win.

Great shooting night, 77.8 % 3-pointers and 56.8 % from the floor.
Way, way above our 34.8 % 3-point avg. and above the 48.0 % avg.from the floor for the season.
Happy we shot well; that was pretty much the difference, with all the other stats showing no glaring imbalance between us and odu.
Is it normal for the visiting radio broadcast team to be placed so close to home fans that you can hear comments throughout the game? I don't see how Dave stayed focused.
Seems like we don't settle for the 3 (especially McCree) as much as we did earlier. Boykins doesn't force it as much either. Bracey seems like a rhythm guy who likes to shoot the 3 off of the dribble. That said, he was on fire yesterday and I doubt he can shoot it that well consistently.

What about FT%? How did we shoot from the line?
