Just in case there was any question, Anthony has confirmed that Ben is not available today:

The odds are down to around -1.0 to -2.0. Draft Kings has the game dead even. Covers.com

It's interesting that the Murray State fan board has yet to mention tomorrow's game. I don't even see a single post since yesterday. Has their interest in the team waned that much? It makes me wonder just how many fans they'll have showing up tomorrow. There's some action on there today, but not much. They aren't expecting Murray to win.

4 TO's on 4 steals is not the way to start the game.

4 TO's on 4 steals is not the way to start the game. Definitely a sluggish start for the Aces. Already seven turnovers with 12 minutes to go.

Not Focused at all today. Funny thing is Murray is shooting poorly as well.

Down 26-14 with 4:20 to go.
Murray has taken eleven more shots than us, primarily because we have turned the ball over ten times.

Terrible start. We are really flat and bad turnovers. We are lucky to only be down 12.

I guess about 5000 of those at the Ford today won’t be back. The Aces are completely lost in what they are doing. Not much joy in watching this game.

They look really out of it so far and not focused. It's like a few them didn't get any sleep or something

Not what I expected for this game. Our defense is ok but our offense, to be honest, sucks.

Why we are down 31-20 at the break: - Twelve fewer shots for us in the first half;
- Due primarily to 12 turnovers for us;
- Neither team shooting well but we are shooting slightly worse % wise;
- We are down 7-0 on points off turnovers;
- Down 16-10 on points in the paint;
- Down 9-0 on fast break points;
- Ten steals for Murray State to our one steal.
- We need to be outrebounding them by more than one rebound.
Definitely room for improvement in the second half. We miss Ben but we need everyone to step up to pull this out if we expect to protect our home court. Will take the fans help as well.
We need to protect the ball better in the second half like "Every possession matters".

Pathetic - best description of our play today! Not one single good thing about our defense, our offense, our ball handling - what in the world has brought this "team" to a packed Ford Center today?

Thomas got mugged on that drive down the lane and no call.
