Good start for the Aces! 10-0 run. Big Ben confirmed probably on very limited minutes after only playing about 2 minutes to start before subbing out.

Aces up 12-7 with 15:31 to go. Ben played just over two minutes as a starter. The plan should be to do whatever we need to do to get the win and to get Ben some minutes to get back in the flow. Valpo looks closer to a SEMO-type team in the first few minutes. Of course, we have not been world-beaters lately but if we can get Ben back in the flow we have proven that we can be a pretty good team and possibly a mid-MVC team.

Ben actually looks ready to go but it's better to take it slow. The team looks ready to play.

Yacine is so much better finishing around the rim this year. Hopefully I don't jinx him.

Shooting 70% overall, 100% from downtown. The bad is 5 TO's and 9 points off of TO's.

We are shooting 70% from the field; 3-3 from 3; 2-2 from the FT line.
The one stat we could improve on is we have five turnovers at the 12-minute mark.

Looking a little sloppy as Valpo has tied it at 27 now with 7:36 to go.

Just got home and turned on the game. We don’t look good. Where are Bailey and Cuff?

Just got home and turned on the game. We don’t look good. Where are Bailey and Cuff? They played a few minutes earlier. We started out pretty good (12-7) but have been pretty sloppy since.

Somebody has to win this game, right? Who wants to win more. Right now it is pretty close but I get the feeling that we should be leading but we are not (30 all with 3:17 to go). As Lawrence mentioned points off turnovers is probably the key stat but will check at halftime.

Sekou needs to play smarter if he wants more minutes and to help this team. Just in the first half: Moving screen foul, travel underneath the basket; fouls the opponent on the three-point make. All should not have happened but seem to happen regularly.
