    Statistically, this was Dame's worst game of his entire career, going 3/16 with 6 turnovers.

    That's terrifying to me.

    Did we deserve to win not really but they didn't either the way they play and someone had it might as well be us.

    I'll take this win.

    When you hold the opponent to 93, the defense worked. When the offense isn't there, the defense still won the game.

    I’m hoping he’ll shoot around 46% from the field this season

    I'm encouraged. Can't think we won many games last year shooting under 40%. We murdered them on the boards.

    When your all-star, team franchise, player has one of the worst games of his career and you still win, it tells me we have a very bright future Blazer fans.

    Do wet played awful, they played great, and we won, in a game that we would've last by double digits last year. I'll take it.

    Whether we are or not remains to be seen but this is the kind of game that good teams win. Games that they didn't play great and that sometimes they had no business winning but that they played enough defense and rebounded well enough to sneak it out. I choose to see this a potential positive.

    I think the worst they shot last year in a win was 39.3%.

    At first I thought embarrassing richness of front court depth would be a real problem. But now, well my current mindset.....

    They aren't shooting with the same size ball neither. : ) I don't disagree entirely though, women can shoot it.

    ...anyone go to the game? Was the fan experience better, worse, or the same as the last couple seasons? The free t-shirt was cool again, but seemed very subdued overall...maybe it was just the poor shooting FG% :biglaugh: Spot on with @Boise Blazer though about good teams winning garbage looking games like this! 60+ rebounds is unreal.

    Nice hard fought victory. Sucks for NO and Davis, not sure we win tonight if they have him. Dame has to be better, period.
