Ben with a three and two put backs (seven points) and strong defense is keeping us close. 12 all with 12 minutes to go.

We’re scoring, but doing a lot of dribbling to make that happen. I’d love to see better flow.

We have ourselves a game. Tied 37 all at the break. We win the second half and we win the game.

Solid half for the Aces.. a lot of ONB 3's for one half for the Aces. Let's finish strong!

Can't complain about the 1st half. The guys are playing hard.

Chuck has to be difficult for a coach to decide on. For the minutes played, he’s scoring at a high clip. But when he comes in, it’s a one man show. So play the kid who can score but forgets everyone else? Tough call.

I actually thought that Enright from Drake did a good job guarding Ben in the first half. From what I remember, Ben's only baskets being guarded by him were two putbacks

The stats look pretty good at the half. Just need to continue to do what we are doing, especially limiting points in the paint. If we can tighten up a few other things like guarding the 3 a little better; rebound a little better, especially limiting Drake's offensive rebounds then I like our chances.
Need to continue to contain Brodie as well; and obviously can't let someone like DeVries get in the grove either.
If we play good enough defense in the second half, I think we can win this.

Sounds like the fans are fired up. I hope they continue to be loud.

I don't understand Ragland's choice of players...Thomas does nothing, yet starts and plays many minutes and will undoubtedly play the first 5-6 minutes the second half. Bobe hits his one 3-pointer for the game, yet is out there again after starting and after costing us 4 points on that technical! Bailey looks great, but gets taken out. I think there would be a better way to teach Chuck to not try to do too much. I just feel our coach costs us so many points in these types of decisions on who plays, and when. And, also, hope he gets our team to stop leaving that corner 3-popint shooter wide open. Get someone on him! Come on, Aces, let's keep locked in!

Sect3, I understand your frustration and agree that Antonio and Gage have a much lower ceiling than someone like Chuck. However, Gage and Antonio are both fifth year seniors and know the system and tend to play under control. Antonio is primarily in for his ball handling.

Playing smaller guards on Ben shows his skillset. No one his size can keep up with him.

Just got home from a meeting. Wow! Aces up 4. And the Redbirds beat the Sycamores so this is a night for upsets. Go Aces!
