Started working again with about 13 minutes to go. I guess the guy just got back from the restroom. Unfortunately, we are down 67-46 now at the 12:29 timeout.

Can’t guard the 3 pointer and can’t hit a 3 pointer. Not going to win many Valley games playing like that

Stats not looking good. We don't even have a made free throw yet. Toumi missed both (only attempts).

This could get ugly. We are so sloppy with the ball and rushing things. When the team thinks they are beat they start the one-on-one crap. We really miss Ben who is cool, calm and collected and really keeps us together. I feel more like we are beating ourselves than them beating us. We are leaving them so wide open on three point attempts. We really look bad but I am still optimistic we can get it going..maybe not in this game, but. Strawbridge is really killing us by the way making stupid passes, careless and he should be sitting a lot more than he does.

We need to stop the three point makes. They're taking advantage of our zone. Defense against 3 point shooting has been a weakness all season. Our Division I opponents I believe have made more than 50 more 3 point baskets than UE has made. Leaving them open and hoping they miss, is a bold (not good) strategy.

Down 21. Ben would make at least a ten point difference in this game, possibly more.

If you can’t defend the 3 ball and you can’t hit 3’s you’re not going to win many games.

Our Division I opponents I believe have made more than 50 more 3 point baskets than UE has made. Leaving them open and hoping they miss, is a bold (not good) strategy. Coming into tonight we were 85-266 (32%) on threes in 13 games; our opponents have been 116-348 (33%). It seems like it's worse than that, especially if you factor out games like the UHSP game. But even 31 more made threes by the opposition in 13 games is close to a nine-point differential (3 3's a game) and that is not even factoring out games like UHSP (or SEMO), etc.

ISU playing at a higher speed level. Bailey is the only quick player UE has

Haffner heating up. Back to back threes cut it to a ten-point deficit. Strawbridge takes the charge.

Toumi cuts it to 80-72 with 2:03 to go. 19-2 run for the Aces over the last five minutes or so.

Once again, no quit in this team. Interesting lineup that has cut the lead..Haffner hits a couple. If Strawbridge would stop the one on one crap and run the offense we would benefit greatly.
