Roos down 30-28 at the half. Looks like we brought our ‘A game’ over from yesterday. Allen is having a nice bounce-back game for us, leading all scorers with 12 points. Not much going for the offense besides him and Kopp, who has 7.

We’ve been playing catch-up most of the game but have been able to keep it within one possession. 34-33 with 15:00 to go.

Final score, 63-61 Roos! We will play for a Gulf Coast Showcase championship tomorrow! Offensive rebounds and free throws were crucial down the stretch. Our big three of Allen, Mitchell, and Kopp each with double digit points.
Very encouraging to see us be able to win both in barn burners and in low-scoring, grind-it-out slug matches. Great two games for the program!

A little ugly and sloppy at times, but a gutsy win with great defense and free throw shooting.
Ahead 63-61 and Shemarri on the Free Throw line with 1.5 seconds left. He misses the 2nd shot.....but runs in to get his OWN rebound to seal the win!!! BAM!!!!!!
Rooup!!

So you guys got to watch this game? What is going on? Are we running plays better? What are the passes like? Can you see what has made us a team? Was it just getting the personnel right?

So you guys got to watch this game? What is going on? Are we running plays better? What are the passes like? Can you see what has made us a team? Was it just getting the personnel right? It seems like everything is coming together on both ends. Having Kopp back has been crucial on the offensive end in allowing us to consistently have at least two players “on” a game, even if someone goes cold or gets in foul trouble. Also spreads the defense out more and makes them respect the entire lineup. Our size has also translated well against non-Power 5 opponents. They’ve been doing a good job crashing the boards and getting second chance opportunities. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that both Toledo and Indiana State have had some of the worst offensive performances so far against us. Love to see that the defense can travel. |

Question for the veteran fans of the Roos: have we ever won one of these early season tournaments before? Could this potentially be the first ever championship for the program?

Had a couple 2-0 in-season "classics" in the past, but never won a legit in-season tournament. Looking for the first tomorrow 🏆
