The stats aren't great, but there were a lot of shots that rimed around and could've gone in.

Bobe is far from the problem tonight. 3 fouls on Cuff, however, is the problem. That and Toumi's knuckleballs at the rim. Cheesh, maybe at least one lucky roll.

The thing we need to understand is Bailey and Hughes are both freshman, and they’re gonna be inconsistent at times. But I like the ceiling.

Looks like the boys are hanging tough at the break only down one. Was able to listen to the first half while working in the yard trying to save our plants from the freeze down here this week. Settling in for the second half, ready to root them on to victory. Go Aces!!!
Looks like Strawbridge has been a rebounding machine for us with eight now. Five of those on the offensive end. And Josh has been a three-point machine with four now.

I’m a big coach Raglan fan, but how can your first three possessions out of halftime be a Toumi 3, a Strawbridge 3, and a Strawbridge prayer fadeaway… and then you take Hughes out immediately after he hits a 3… I don’t get it.

If you can only shoot 34 pct. on your home court, you need to take better shots or play better defense. This stuff ain't all that complicated.

I have two questions: - Can we come back and win this? (Down 59-48 with 8:40 to go) as Josh hits another three to cut it to eight;
- Can we beat Valpo (without Ben).
We need these two home games bad (with or without Ben).

We need Ben… his size is important, his shooting is big… but what we really need is his winning attitude. Winner, clutch, dog… whatever you call it, he is the only one on the team that seems to have it. He made some of the other guys believe. I do not know if the last few games without him have scarred us too deeply. But we’re not gonna be winners without him.

Just give the ball to Josh. 7-10 from three tonight. He only had six all season coming into tonight.

Strawbridge and Toumi are each close to a double double but the W looks elusive now down nine with 49.7 seconds to go.

I don’t understand the lack of pt for Chuck. His shot was off tonight but he wasn’t the only one and we needed him as we tried to make a comeback. And Cuff never returned after getting his 4th foul.
