We needed a three and poor Ivey didn’t realize it....tough hard fought game. Fought hard to the finish, their size got us. We couldn’t buy a rebound. So glad the crowd showed up for the game, Flowers was rocking tonight.

So glad the crowd showed up for the game, Flowers was rocking tonight. I think she was trying to get an and 1. But I think I would have shot the 3 and hopefully get a 4 point play.

Should get a postseason invite - even if back to the WBI this year.
So happy to see Flowers rocking!

Yes, Flowers was awesome tonight, that's a good atmosphere. Just think if it was packed... SEC and NCAA have said no fans but, as of now, will be played. Official attendance tonight was 1,362. Looked like more than that on TV.

Yes and the CBI has already been cancelled. I wonder what the NIT and WNIT are going to do now? I am afraid we are 4 points shy of making WNIT...or maybe a lot of teams will not accept with virus?
2 huge positives from tonight:
Bond and Noah thrived in the pressure. We need a another Eubank type player for next year and hopefully a rebounder.

It's a must if we're to compete for the conference title and more.

I've been watching a lot of things on DVR lately, and had to just skim through the game this morning and read some notes from Twitter.
Even though we battled back to force OT, getting down by 13 or whatever it was in the 1st quarter set the tone for the game. We talked about being "relaxed", but you can't be relaxed when almost the entire game is spent making up a large deficit. It's awesome that we were able to do it, but just didn't have enough left in the tank to finish.
Crowd was great. I'm fine with "only" 1300 people being there if they are loud and supportive.
My hunch is the WBI tournament doesn't happen, since the CBI isn't. I also wouldn't be surprised if the WNIT and NIT are cancelled. If all that is true, I really hate it for our seniors. There has to be a final game eventually, but I wish they had one more shot at winning a championship of some sort. The past few years may be the greatest collection of talent we've had on a women's team, and we weren't able to win a trophy. That's definitely a shame.

... And now basically all conference tournaments are being cancelled, including the SEC and Big Ten. Looks like it may not have mattered if we won last night or not, we still wouldn't have gotten a shot for a title. At least, I assume the ASUN title game will be called off as well.
Seriously doubt the NCAA tournament goes on.

With the crowd at Flowers for the Women's game vs Liberty, do you think if the Men get better and better, with there be even bigger crowds at Flowers?
It was a great atmosphere, and I think it can get even better.

It was a great atmosphere, and I think it can get even better. I do. Though, that being said, I will admit that the Wallens probably help give the women's team that "hometown flavor" that makes it easier for the average Shoals citizen to get behind them. Were they the reason for the good crowd? Not them alone, but I wonder how much they contributed. All that to say, it would be nice if we could usually have a player or two from the area on these teams. I don't want to give out charity scholarships, they need to be good enough to play. But I really do think it helps pull in the casuals. Winning helps, too.
