2.5 point underdogs tonight. I’m going Aces ML. Hopefully we can win the next two to secure a winning season. Ziggy went on Jevins Aces on the Air Podcast this week and said that the team is looking to keep playing in a post season tournament if they can finish above .500 and get invited to one. If we win this one, well at a minimum finish .500, but it would be nice to win a few more to make ourselves more attractive for a post season tourney. If you haven’t listened to Jevins Ziggy interview, I’d highly recommend it. He was very open about future scheduling, NIL, and post season play. Thanks for sharing. For convenience, I will provide Jevin's podcast link here. There is another thread on these podcasts as well that Tom created a while back. |

Pretty good start tonight! Hope the Aces keep a strong defense going, especially protecting against those 3's.

I usually watch ESPN+, but listen to Jevin's broadcast. I have to pause the TV until Jevin's call catches up with the video. Much more enjoyable to watch and listen to.

To get the good Chuck you have to live with the bad Chuck sometimes

Could've been better but not bad.

Well, we look very inconsistent. At times we looked great, then before the half we looked terrible. Jevin commented that the Aces looked very nonchalant. I agree.
Turnovers and bad passes/decisions drive me nuts!
Makes you wonder which Aces team will show up for the 2nd half.

We should be leading but let them back into it late in the half (Yacine's foul on the 3-pointer and turnovers by Yacine, Cam and Kenny). Of course, Chuck's technical foul giving UIC two free throws didn't help either. Otherwise, we could be up close to double digits.

To get the good Chuck you have to live with the bad Chuck sometimes Good Chuck= 7 points Bad Chuck= 1 technical foul that cost 2 free throws.
Good Chuck is plus 5

we would be in a better spot if bailey hadn't done his shove and Toumi foul a 3 point shot.

Haffner has upped his game. Good to see.

Stats pretty close but areas that are hurting us are: - We have three more turnovers leading to four more points off turnovers for UIC;
- UIC has three more FTs (due to Chuck's T and Yacine's foul on the 3-pointer);
- Down two on points in the paint.
Just need to clean up a few things and play smarter. We don't want this to come down to the wire if we don't have to.
