We will really see how much toughness they have when they get a chance for revenge against DM next Saturday.

Yes. I am glad as hell we finally decided to start playing.

The adjustment we made at half time was mainly putting Folkes on #2.

We also finally started driving to the rim.

I promise I won’t say this again before a game. Woof.

Kudos to the students…it hasn’t been like that in years. Be damn proud of yourselves and figure out how to make the next one bigger. It felt like a 2005 atmosphere. Awesome job

App message board

The Davidson and App come back have been with Brice on the bench. Not a good trend for him.

Aldridge saved us in the first half.

Milicic is a difference maker. He can be a beast.

Still too much faith by Sanchez in Threadgill for that many minutes.

If Folkes gets a consistent shot and hits FTs he could be special. He aint scared.

Like Berry everytime he plays. Smooth athlete that looks like he can create his own shot.

Going to be interesting if Sanchez cuts down on numbers in rotation for conference play. Who is left out. Does Jallow even have a place.

Nice comeback. Great win. Fuck App!

One comment from this App board was wishing they could play in front of the type of home crowd we had tonight. :rofl:

Very disappointing to see Fire Sanchez as the first messages I read after this awesome game. I have not seen Halton this packed and loud in many years. Hope to see this continue.

I’ll make a deal with you:

If we promise to not ever again play as godawful as we did for the first 8 minutes of the game tonight, I will promise not to lead with ā€œSanchez must goā€.

Deal?

We were awfully lucky that we were playing a woefully bad offensive team like App tonight after giving up all those wide open 3s. Quite simply, that cannot keep happening.

When we went down 24-5 I was watching the game w my 5 year old son and I almost turned the tv off. Glad I didn’t. What a comeback!! I mentioned to my wife I hadn’t seen the student section that full in a decade. 7-2 feels fantastic! Go Niners!!

Agree. We are a buzzer beater away from losing to Davidson and we were down big to app at home, which should never happen. We won both and maybe this turns the tide for our program, but Sanchez is running on fumes right now. If he loses these past two games, he’s done. Still not sold on him, but I’m happy for our players, students, and alums.

We were all frustrated with the horrible start. However, the team has shown me to have faith this year. This is a great defensive team and I am enjoying watching them play and grow as a team.

Also, 8 minutes, a half or a game does not define a season. Let’s lay-off the Fire Sanchez until it is warranted.

Man, I actually thought we started the game really well. That guy was as hot as any player I’ve ever seen. He hit bad shot after bad shot after bad shot. It was complete selfish hero ball and he was well defended. He banked in a 32 footer. Eventually that stuff stops working. Sometimes the score doesn’t match the way you are playing. We have several guys that play max effort. Really fun to watch. Extremely unselfish group.

Really glad to see the juice back in Halton tonight. It wasn’t quite the good ole days but it was fun. Offense is unselfish. Spread the ball around well. We complain about halftime adjustments constantly over here and don’t give credit, but we have seen multiple instances of improved play after halftime here.

Man what a bunch of choke artists app are. Nobody wanted to shoot once they started missing some shots. Mentally weak group. They sure were talking that talk up 25 though!

Mantis had the shooters big basket going there for awhile. I’ve never had that in college obviously but I’ve played games where you just throw it up and it goes in. I did think we had solid D in him for most of his shot. Not great D but not wide open. Kid was just in the zone. We all knew they were going to cool off. We switch up the D and they cooled off. Only question I had was if we had the offensive power to make up the home we got ourselves in. Solid win. App isn’t good, but it took a guy averaging 5 pts having a career night to make this close.

No way attendance was 5148.

They told me the parking lot scanner was out. Maybe ticket scanners were out, too :laughing:
Seemed more like 7000 than 5148.
