Alrighty then. This makes us 7-0 (8-0 if you include the exhibition game) in games I have attended. Who is paying for me to go to Cincy? 🤣🤣🤣

Gotta say, if Bellarmine had it to do different, I'd GTFO of that fieldhouse and into a pad where their crowd could matter. No chance anybody falls out of the upper deck there. What it costs to keep places like that open ... it's probably cheaper to bulldoze it.

We have beaten Bobe's horse 'til it won't run but the thing I see is that the value he gives one of the other players over various 4-minute stretches. If more teams used their version of Bobe to absorb a foul and let another guy get a breather and maybe avoid that foul, the last 4-minutes of the game might go different. Aces were better prepared for that late run today than I've ever seen them. The Bobe minutes aren't always easy to evaluate.

Literally sitting behind the Aces bench. How was the Aces's contingent at the game? Thanks for being there for the guys. How was the game in person? The clip you posted of Toumi's offensive rebound basket with 1:03 left in the game, it gave a good floor view shot of all the ACES fans behind our bench. Thx for posting.

Great win, I thought Cuff once again settled us down, Bailey and Toumi with nice games. I thought they were going to let Cuff go 1 on 1 a little more. He had good success. Surprised he only played 11 min. Gotta get him more

I would like for UE to pick up the Hatton kid on a transfer portal.One game I think he had 17 rebounds

My take on the game was we were really sluggish out of the gate as finals and the long layoff really impacted us. Had we played a better team we would have lost.
I thought the only person ready to play from the tip was Toumi. He kept us in the game in the first half and a had a huge rebound/put back with about a minute to go which was a real dagger. We need to get things together quickly for the game tomorrow night.
I agree Cuff needs more minutes. It was a smart move for the coaches to let him take his guy one on one late in the game as it proved to be beneficial. We need to also find a way to get Haffner some open shots to build his confidence. Right now he is not helping us. I think the reason we continue to start him over Bailey is to not reduce his confidence further and not to have Bailey's head get any larger, kind of keep him under wraps a bit as a reserve..just my two cents...also maybe to "keep the peace" among the team.
Go Aces !

If I remember correctly Hatton was high on our recruiting list out of HS. He chose William and Mary. Then he decided to transfer from W&M and ended up at Ballarmine. Two strikes against UE. I don’t think he has an interest in joining the Aces. However he did look really good last night.

This game showed how a team not playing with any real focus or energy can lose a game to a "lesser" opponent. With the exception of Toumi, we looked very "disinterested" in competing that first half...sure am glad that several players woke up and started competing.
I thought Ben just "got lost" for the first half - didn't seem due to him being closely guarded, just more like he wasn't working with his usual energy. Hope he gets back to being the strong player that helps the team move to the next level. His talent is so obvious.
I really like the hard workers on this team, putting their skills to making Purple ACES basketball competitive and winning again! Top of my long list of skilled, energetic players is Cuff. I think he is a great surprise, and I think he should get more playing time.

They were double teaming Ben. It is common to try to take away the strengths of the opposing team and make other players beat you.
