Under 16, BG leads 10-7.
Nice start. Plowden has scored all 10 of our points, including a couple of threes and a highlight dunk on a breakaway.

Itβs beating a dead horse but this coaching staff has to go.

BG was down 7, but back to back threes from Plowden and Diggs cuts the lead to 1.
I like seeing us battle, at least.

And of course, Kent then pushes the lead up to 8.
It's starting to feel like we'll never win a game again...

Under 4, BG is down 31-23.
That's 13 points on offense in the last 12 minutes, for those keeping track.

Diggs and Plowden are the only BG players that have scored.

Turner finally gets on the board - Chandler, that is.
It's very puzzling how... un-aggressive... Juice can be, at times. He has so much talent, but he disappears when he doesn't assert himself. We need him to be that killer at all times.

Justin Turner's first basket came with 1:50 to play in the first half.
Isaac Elsasser is playing to close the half because Plowden picked up his 2nd foul with 2 to go until halftime. I hate, HATE that policy from Huger. He's always done it, and I've always hated it.

HALFTIME: Kent State leads 38-32.
Plowden and Diggs each have 13 points. Metheny, Fields, and Swingle didn't score in the first half, and Juice only had 2. Chandler Turner had 4 off the bench.
The difference so far? Kent is 10/10 from the free throw line, and BG is yet to attempt a free throw.

Chandler turner and Diggs should get more minutes. Metheny and Swingle need to warm the bench and get better in the off-season.

The fact that we went almost 17:00 in with only 2 players scoring is absurd.
I lost count how many times the national announcers said things like "disjointed offense for BG" or "it worked but that's not a recipe for success."..
This offense is painful to watch.
