 Not a great effort but showed fight. 

Almost literally at the end.

Another nice effort by Lulka - 14 pts, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and no turnovers.

I thought last time out they folded like a cheap tent tonight even with not a superb effort they seemed to care. Even that end with Healey showing some moxy.

Did Lulka get hit in the head? Wasn't sure what the injury was and they didn't say.

On the postgame radio Will said Lulka had a bloody nose and swollen eyeballs (?!?). I assume that means puffy eyelids and black eyes coming.

So which UA team shows up for the next game. Good to see not only a win, but one on the road.

Thanks. The ESPN feed dropped for a minute after that play so I didn't know what happened. He looked good enough when he came back in a few minutes later.

Any win with this team is good , especially a road win.  Campbell played well. Lulka did as well. My issue with Lulka is that he plays soooooo soft. If he played stronger he would be one of the best players in the league .

Early on WB said he had the nicest bigs around. I do not understand how 6-8 and 6-10 guys cannot flat foot elevate and flush it. But I guess if they could they’d be p,aging in the ACC. Early on I thought this looked like a team that could not wait for the season to be over, but then they showed some effort. Lauderdale just needs to go. Maybe Oneonta has a roster spot. Rizzuto is like the invisible man sometimes.

Rizzuto right now is a defensive specialist... I like his defense a lot but on offense he's not sure yet what he is. He seems to have a lot of tools, can beat people off dribble and can shoot but he fades in and out. I think he'll be a great player very soon.

A win is a win, showed some poise after being down much of the first half. Winning after that amount of travel is always tough so good for them:

Also, after missing a lot of the preseason and early games, he is the freshest of the freshman. 

Curious to see people down on Lauderdale. I thought he gave us decent minutes today off the bench.

I agree: I like Lauderdale and always thought he gives us some toughness out there. 

Watching the replay now; this is some rough hoops to watch. I think we might have been spoiled a bit by having really good point guard play for a decade. Black, Singletary, Evans, Jamar, Nichols ... we've had some good players over the years for this conference (I might have omitted a PG by accident in the above list; those were just the first names to come to mind).

After the first 10 mins of the game I was really worried we were going to get blown out.  Good to see them turn it around and play better late in the first and then again in the second half.  The stupid turnovers really need to stop.
