This team moves the ball differently than we've seen in years. Refreshing.
Bailey has twice pulled up just inside the line with a defender (or two) on him and plenty of time on the clock.

I didn't expect a low scoring game.

Cuff should start. Bailey needs to move more on offense. Hughes is a diamond in the rough. Some random thoughts. Can't argue with any of this. Antonio has been pretty solid the last game and so far today. Update: I do give the edge to Cuff though especially in this game as we near halftime. If Antonio had Cuff's height, it might be even but we definitely seem to do better when Cuff is on the court. |

Rags seems to be going with an eight-man rotation so far with Sekou and Gage getting squeezed out. I'm sure if we get in any foul trouble, they will be the next man up.

Up 24-18 heading into the 5:32 timeout on a fast break layup from Ben to Hughes. Ben, Tanner and Josh seem to have great chemistry.

8 man rotation when you are playing tougher competition is about right.

Our size seems to be a problem for Ball St.

Well………Toumi still can’t finish around the rim against a quality defender. Hughes however…..is a finisher. Toumi looks tentative and scared inside.

Up 30-27 at the break. Jihad (#11) is keeping them in the game with 14 points. He is showing what he can do if he can stay on the floor. He has been in foul trouble quite a bit this year but unfortunately not today. Our bigs are making it tough on him but he is getting too many chances down low.

The only stats sticking out that we can improve in are: BSU has 5 3's to our 1 (although we did much better in the second part of the first half in this area); and they are slightly outrebounding us (18-16). We have to keep making life difficult for them especially on #1 and #11. Should be a close one.

7-0 run by us to open the second half has us up 37-27 at the 15:39 timeout. Josh going to the line after the break.
