It looks like Drake playing against a middle school team. I don’t know if I can watch this. We haven’t even got a shot off in several possessions. What channel is the Ravens-Texans game? It's on ABC. Ravens up 17-10. It might be on ESPN as well. I was kind of kidding, more of a comment on the state of this game, but thanks! 😃 |

Why is Sekou shooting FTs one handed? If he was making them that would be one thing. But he is 2-7 for the year from the charity stripe. I can't imagine that he couldn't do better shooting in a more orthodox way.

Oh joy! We cut the deficit to 31! And Drake had to call a timeout because they were in danger of having the lead slip to 30! |

This comment from the Drake board pretty much sums up the first half when we are down 54-20:

Please call a 10 run rule or whatever and call the game. They are embarrassing themselves

I can't recall ever looking this bad before. And yes, that includes Lickliter's tenure Well, there was that game at Loyola 2 years ago. And at Duke, December, 2017. 🙄 |

That Aces vs. Duke result from several years ago is not looking so bad now.
I wonder what halftime adjustments are being made in the Aces locker room.

We look as bad, or worse, than we have any of these horrible past years. I frankly see just another embarrassing season to add to our dismal string of losing seasons. Do we have any defensive plans? Do we have any offense? A take-down like this makes me fear that we really haven't made any progress.

Did Ben reinjure his ankle against Valpo or was he rushed back too soon just to play a home game against a weak Beacons team?
If he was rushed back and retweaked the injury, then the coaches will need to answer the question “why?” That 12 mins has turned into him missing this game plus most likely the UNI game.

So how do you get down 34 at the half? Here is the recipe: - FG%: 35% to 76%; Drake is 22-29 from the floor;
- Drake is 8-12 from 3 (67%); we are 2-11 (18%);
- 10 turnovers for us;
- 16-4 on points off turnovers for Drake;
- We are outrebounded 18-10;
- Points in the paint: 28-10 in Drake's favor;
- 11-2 fast break points for Drake.
At least we have given up only one offensive rebound and zero second chance points. The bad news is they are making it on the first chance and don't need any offensive rebounds or second chance points.

I doubt he could do any worse shooting that way. |

Have to agree that Gage is overmatched at this level of D1 ball. I like the kid and his work ethic and loyalty to the program, but he does not give us the best chance to win IMO. Chuck, Cam, Tanner and Kenny should all be playing shooting guard before Gage as that is the only position that he can play as he is just a shooter shooting 28 % from 3. Cam is as well but his ceiling his higher IMO. Getting killed 23-8 heading into the 11:19 timeout. Kenny and Gage have both played all nine minutes and have a +/- of -15. No reason not to try someone else at this point.
At this point Bailey needs to get the minutes and allowed to get into the flow of games without being taken out every 5 minutes. His upside is big and he is not going to learn by sitting on the bench.
