We really need to back up Sat's win with another good performance. Ever since that debacle at Cleveland State, this seems to be a different team and for the better. #BeatOhio

Hoping for a decent crowd for this game! I won't be able to make it, but this team is showing potential, and I think they should be rewarded with some filled seats.

Go Falcons!

I'll be there. OU doesn't appear to be a great team this year. Have to followup Saturday's road performance with a home win.

Let's get win #10 tonight.

[Globetrotter]

Looking ok. Just staying a bit in front.

[Globetrotter]

We are up 68-54. Looking good.

Interesting stuff. Wiggins 0 pts
bench 36 pts, starters 32 pts.

That's how good teams win games. Win games by doing different things......

Excited to see what those in attendance have to say about the game. Looked like we put our backups in, they extended the lead and so we just didn't put Wiggins or Turner back in. I don't blame them but it's an interesting way to do things. Those are your best 2 players. Keep them rested. If you don't need them keep them out and let the depth grow on the court. I am assuming no one was injured.

Frye and Laster looked great tonight. Lots of great assists and smooth shooting. It seemed like Wiggins was healthy but they really didn’t really him in the second half, so I was glad to see him get some rest.

Side note, I haven’t been to a game this year (because I live hundreds of miles away) but noticed on the broadcast that players were going into the stands after the game and thanking fans for coming. Do they do this after every game? I thought that was awesome and I hope they are rewarded with some big attendance numbers in coming games.

Wiggins was having a rough game. He was no help on the offensive side and was getting visibly frustrated. It was a smart move to just pull him. There is always another game.

As to the players in the stands, they have been doing that all season. I love it!

Freakin sweet!!!!!!!!!!! 6 in a row and all by double digits.

[MarkL]

2-0 start to MAC play with wins over upper half teams? Yes please I'll take that

Laster, Lillard, Uju and Sierra were FANTASTIC off the bench. That lineup combined with either Turner or Frye has provided great energy of late.

Wiggins sitting was more a result of Uju being a better defensive matchup against their bigs who both like to play on the perimeter, combined with Uju playing far and away his best game as a falcon on both ends of the floor.

Very encouraging to see different guys step up on nights when the main guys are struggling.

He was 0-3 from the field. How does he get frustrated so quickly? Better yet, how are you 6'10" and not score a point in 18 minutes?

The Bench deserved the minutes that they got. The Bench got the lead in the first half and the starters gave it back. The second half, the starters fell behind again and the bench got the lead back and extended the lead. I see nothing wrong with rewarding the bench players with more playing time. They EARNED it, Huger did what I think a good coach does, He played the players, on that given day, that gave him the best chance to win. Great job Coach Huger!
