As bad as the turnovers were Valpo had just as many and we're level on PoT.

The major areas to improve on at halftime to win this game: - Too many turnovers for us: nine for us and Valpo;
- Second chance points: Valpo leads 7-1;
- Need to play a little better defense as Valpo is 6-15 (40%) from 3.

Ben with four points on 2-3 shooting, 1 rebound and 1 assist in seven minutes. He definitely is not forcing anything but needs to shake the rust off after being out so long. Good to have him back. He will only get better.

Cuff needs more playing time. Too much subbing with wrong guys I think players are used at wrong times, or not at all. This, IMO, is poor coaching and hurts our flow of the game.

A three by Ben to put us up 43-41. Great to see.

12-7 advantage in offensive rebounds for Valpo and 15-6 on 2nd chance points are what is keeping Valpo close. Also 10 threes for Valpo (42%) and of course Stafford with 22 points we need to contain to win.

Good to see Haffner hit the three at a crucial time. Up 66-62 at the 7:06 media timeout.
Haffner was more set and square to the basket on this three with the extra separation from the defender on the screen by Josh:

Haffner is playing very well the last few minutes. The unit of Yacine, Josh, Tanner, Chuck and Cam seems to be our best unit right now this game.
Ben, Kenny and Antonio have had their moments as well.

Valpo may be getting tired. They're fronting the rim on a lot of shots.

That's one way to try to stop Stafford from scoring - poke him in the eye (by Kenny).

Bad foul call.

I like Cuff at the free throw line against the zone (kind of like Adam Wing). He can pass out for the three if they collapse on him. If they don't collapse, he can drive like he did and score (and got fouled).

31 points by Stafford is making this a much closer game than it should be. 74-73 Aces with 1:14 to go at the timeout.

That should have been a three-second call on #13 for Valpo as he was camped out in the lane. 76-75 Aces with 49 seconds to go.

Big FTs by Toumi with 19 seconds left. Up 3.
