Wiggins named MAC East POTW for his game against NCCU. I didn't see the game this week but it sounds like he was pretty dominant. Hope he keeps it up against similar competition over the next two days.

[Globetrotter]

Halftime. Our bench is outscoring our starters 26-16.

We are down 50-42!

[Class of 61]

OUCH!! Where’s the defense?

[Globetrotter]

We are down 58-51. They are shooting 64% from 3.

[mbenecke]

I'm not able to watch, but I'm listening on the radio.

It sounds like Hampton is ridiculously hot from behind the three-point line, which is uncharacteristic of their team so far this year.

It's now 58-51 with just over 15 minutes left. Gotta really battle this one out.

[Globetrotter]

Laster is playing great. Might see him at the end of this and not Frye who is struggling.

[mbenecke]

11:30 left, down 61-54.

I don't know if we're going to be able to overcome Hampton's hot shootingfrom deep, as they've made 11 threes.

We also only have 7 turnovers compared to their 12, and we're shooting within 3% of each other from the field.

They've made 7 more threes than us, and they're outscoring us by 7. They've also gotten 7 more chances from the free throw line than us.

[mbenecke]

Laster blocked a shot on the perimeter that went off a Hampton player.

Lillard hits a three to cut the deficit to 4, about halfway through the 2nd half.

Plowden then takes a charge at the other end.

Lillard comes back on the offensive end and gets fouled on a layup, and he heads to the line for 2.

Makes the first...and the second.

9:56 to play. Down 2 coming down the stretch.

[mbenecke]

Now down 65-59.

[mbenecke]

Turner hits a bucket to make it 65-61.

We make a steal and then Lillard draws a foul, then a Hampton player gets a technical foul.

[mbenecke]

Lillard shot the technical free throws. Missed the first, made the second.

Now shooting 1-and-1... and missed the first so we only got 1 point out of the 4 possible on that possession.

65-62, Hampton.

[mbenecke]

We've reached the under-8 timeout. 67-62, Hampton.

[mbenecke]

Wiggins fouled on a made layup. Here's an opportunity for a 3-point play... and he missed it.

Down 69-64.

Good news: We're now in the double bonus.

Bad news: We can't make free throws.
