BG-NIU

[BGSUE]

another lumbering bus ride longer trip than play the game

last time blizzard after losing to WMU, win over Huskies & 11 game win streak (NCAA)

I'll take a repeat of all the stuff to the right of the comma.

Throw out the records play the game take on the shooting background

3 offense (NIU) v 3 defense (BG)

Drive the basket get legs under you

Go BG!!!!! BG __ Roll Along!

The thing I like about Bailey is that she follows her shot. She just missed a 3 and followed it in, got a rebound and a putback.

Go Bailes!

BG up 28-15 coming out of the 4:xx timeout that coach took.

Great win for the Falcons! One of the concerns I've had this year is that when we have a great defensive first half, the second half, many times will do a flip-flop. How many times have we held our opponent to under 20 points in the first half, only to see them double it (or more) in the 2nd half. Granted, there are halftime adjustments, momentum factors, cold spells, and fatigue in the 2nd half. But I sort of look at things like this.... we won the first half by 19 and lost the 2nd half by 8. Any time there's that much of a swing from the 1st half to the 2nd, I want to examine the cause of the discrepancy. Is it turnovers, scoring dry spells, defensive lapses, lessened intensity, or a combination of all of the above? I've witnessed several times this season when we have let sizeable leads get whittled away or lost altogether. I'm just glad we built up a large enough lead yesterday at the half to enable us to leave with a good victory! I'm not complaining, because we got a win. But all I'm hoping to see is for the girls to take it to the opposition for forty minutes straight, and we will succeed! Best of luck to the Falcons this week against the Zips! Girls, let'em have it with both barrels!

Wow. We could have doubled the score, but then the starters would have played the entire game, almost guaranteeing a loss when Akron shows up.

The point is, I'm sure we would have taken two more points at K'zoo, than give up 8 less points in Dekalb.

Your math is flawless.

I know what you're saying, HoopsFan, but that 19-point halftime lead was NOT a substitute-free half. We have a very capable bench, even as banged up as we are. There are times when our bench outplays our starters, in fact. Every blown lead cannot always be blamed on the bench. I wasn't referring to the "one" basket that would have beaten Western, but I was pointing out a tendency we have of not being able to put a team away once we get a good lead. Central Florida and Akron were good examples. Hopefully, this clarifies things a bit.
