Cuff is a really good assist and paint player. Hard to imagine how much better this team would play if we had better cutters and finishers in the paint. Cuff sees the cut, makes a perfect pass before the receiver knows it’s happening. Cuff’s assist ability would open up his paint moves even better producing more scores from him.

If he is here for 4 years his jersey will be hanging in the Ford Center in the rafters. |

Southern Illinois came from behind to win at Murray State 60-58 in the other 1 pm MVC game. Murray State did not score the last 4:38 |

Why we surrender the first five minutes of each half going with a lineup that doesn’t work is beyond my comprehension It cost them at UNI for sure. They did get off a better start to begin the second half. That was a tough game with little flow. Cuff and Toumi took the reins and played very well. Hughes handled his own too against a much physically stronger front court. I thought Kenny played better in the second half and had a strong defensive effort down the stretch. Luckily, the Redbirds couldn’t find their stroke from the perimeter. |

I was told in Chattanooga that he has three years of eligibility left because of his broken hand injury last year. |

Tanner Cuff with the belt:
Hopefully Ben is protecting that foot in the celebration.

Not sure why Hafner hasn’t played this half. He’s a better guard option them Thomas in regards to offense based on what? |

Start Cuff, Haffner, Toumi, Bailey and Hughes in the 2nd. They seem to be the most successful guys who can also play D and are multidimensional scoring threats. I don’t like it when our best guys aren’t playing the most minutes. The starting 5 did a bit better with the 2nd half start. If the Birds could hit a three, we’d be in trouble. Also our defense the last 12 minutes of the game was very tight. Any wins without BHum are good wins. |

Good win today! Fun to watch! Haffner may not fill up the stat sheet every game but I like the effort. Cuff had three assists? Anybody that watched that game saw a lot more than that.

I was surprised by Cuff’s assist total too. But if they want to count them that way and give UE a win, so be it.

I wish coach Rags would institute a policy of no man buns.

I believe Cam was key in our run in the 1st half after we were down by 10. He had 2 great assist, 3 rebounds and penetrated. They are playing him tight on the 3, so that is opening up the drive for him, and he is a pretty good passer. Bobe doesn't have that capability.
The belt definitely goes to Tanner. He handled the ball a lot today, the offense often ran thru him and he gave Toumi some easy baskets.
Oh wait, after all that ball handling, how many turnovers did Tanner have --- ZERO!
