Also is this a safe space to now admit I bet on Mercyhurst +15.5 when someone posted Suder was in street clothes pregame and the line was still what it had been all morning?

Can’t imagine Steeele overly happy about this performance. But a win is a win

Gonna have some dog shit games early in the year. That’s how it is. But we won and all anyone will remember is that we beat The Lakers!!!
Okay, well a lot of things need to be to be better but it’s still a win.

My cope from today’s win:
1 - Shot cold chalk it up to luck
2 - No Suder, with him we win comfortably
3 - Mercyhurst is better than we think, might be low in KenPom but they started much lower and beat A10 Loyola Chicago on the road by 8

Not surprisingly Steele mentions defense early in post game comments

Ugly wins > ugly losses
Not yet thanksgiving, so certainly no reason to overreact to performance this time of year. But plenty of room to coach em hard and work on improving.
I would expect a positive response in energy on Sunday.

Mercyhurst is better than their early season computer rankings, we were missing a couple key players because of injury and foul trouble, the refs were incompetent, and we had a brutally cold shooting night. It’s not as bad as it might initially look, but still yeesh.
It is good to see the team grind out a win that past teams would not have. You have to win 4 in a row before you can win 11 in a row.

I’ll do you one better:
Ugly wins > moral victories

I’m not gonna lose sleep over a close game with our captain and best player out vs. a team that has shown scrappiness so far this year.
If we struggle against the 0-7 Golden Lions on Sunday, we can sound the alarm.

After being so bad for so long, it’s nice to be upset that we didn’t win by as much as we should have.
Now beat Pine Bluff by 30.
