I don't believe they have a title in this so called tournament because it was a round robin tournament. I'm not even sure if they have tournament MVP. If they did Caldwell would be the front runner going into today. The one good thing I like about this tournament is 3 games in 3 days, which may become beneficial come MAC tournament. We also get Lillard back in 3 games. He is a much better option off the bench than Fox. Even when Lillard returns I hope the starting 5 are: Frye, Caldwell, Turner, Koch, and Wiggins (we may see that same starting 5 for remainder of this year and next year). Lillard, Uju, Plowden are a nice set to sub in.

Tired legs. Turnovers. Foul Trouble. Poor shooting.

BG down 28-18

Wiggins in foul trouble. We don't have anyone else who can come close to guarding him if Gadsden isn't playing.

It's a solid rotation. Gadsen is in now. That's the only weakness in that group. I'm not sure Koch can defensively backup at C.

Gadson got into the game. Picked up 2 fouls in :47 seconds.

Trail 44-36 @ half.

At least Wiggins is well rested.

I only caught the final 30 seconds of the first half. What's the reason we're struggling? I assume that 3 games in 3 days may be a factor.

Jalone Friday has 14-7 at the half. Was he a Orr recruit or Buttgrabber

Tired legs. Shooting 37%. 3-10 behind arc. Wiggins player 3 min due to foul trouble. ACU shooting nearly 60%.

Wiggins is too passive. Easily pushed off the block. Getting dominated on D. He's great when there isn't a tough center to go against.
