Only five players scored, and the bench only chipped in for 4 points (all coming from Fitch). But Wright looked to have a very good game as the 2 guard and Almanson put up some nice numbers. We've got to get a total team production. This one's behind us, let's gear up for our next game.

Based solely on that box score, it looks like their center was the difference with a double-double. My question for those that were at the game or listened, why did Lefeld only get 2 minutes if they had a dominant inside guy??
It looks like there were some good things. Wright had good numbers and the assist to turnover ratio was better than 1:1 as a team. We also caused a lot of turnovers. Hopefully we can rebound better, hit some 3's, and get better bench production as the season goes along.

A look at the box score confirms what I thought from yesterday...that BG was very competitive on the road with a DePaul team that would, at least, be a mid-to-top tier MAC team.
With 5:18 to play, we were down two after Germian Fitch tipped in a hoop. Over the next 2:10, we turn the ball over twice, but thanks to domr middrd by DePaul, are still down only 4 with 3:08 to play. Here's the vital sequence.
*DePaul misses a jumper, but gets the offensive board (note) and converts a 3 off it. DePaul +7.
*Almanson misses a jumper, Brumfield claims one of his 15 boards.
*DePaul misses again, gets their own board (note), gets fouled and nails two FT's. (DePaul +9). 1:06 to play, game over.
Conclusion: Turnovers and not taking caring of the boards down the stretch cost us a winnable game. These can be corrected.
Other thoughts:
*We got out rebounded by 8. Why did LeFeld and Vandermeer only play 8 minutes combined, and 2 for LeFeld?
*We rely on FG Defense to win. DePaul shot 51% in the second half.
*We shot only 28.6% on threes.
*Robinson seemed to play OK. In 17 minutes, he didn't score, but had 4 assists and no Turnovers. Floyd played 11 minutes, with 3 over 1.
*BG turned the ball over only 14 times. A big key for the season.
*Wright had 17, and might turn out to be a very good 2.
*If Josh Almanson comes to play like that every night, we will be competitive.
*Reimold gets a lot of attention from other D's. We need to penetrate and get him the ball with good looks. Let's hope Wright and Robinson can do that.
The UIC game is a nice test. They have been in the tourney the last two years, but its on our floor. A win would be nice.
