That gets us back on track. Had to have that one. Losing to Kent, Akron and Miami I can live with.

Scott Thomas is playing well and Knight is playing better. Let's keep it going against the west. AZZ!

It kind of seemed like we were trying to lose the game. I'm not going to complain though, as long as we win the games

Just saw the final score...love seeing the W. Every game matters and 10-9, 3-3 MAC is decent. Ball State was 4-1 MAC coming in and I know they played all West teams, but still. We stay a game back of Miami, tied with Akron. The Zips won at UT tonight and Miami rolled NIU by 28.

Just win games...

BG travels to NIU Sat.

GO HOOPS

Knight's block in the 2nd half was a thing of beauty.

Why didnt Dee Brown play? Our bench was already short without Larson, seems odd Brown didn't also play.

Play of the game, no doubt, both from the perspective that it was a fabulous defensive play, and that it came at a critical point of the game with under 2 1/2 minutes left. If he doesn't make that play, you could make a case that we don't win this game.

I agree that block was amazing and really got the place rocking! I liked the energy the crowd had at the end of the game. It is a great sized crowd considering the weather, and we played pretty well, although we still have a LONG ways to go. I'll take it though.

I'm really glad they were able to hold on to this game and get the W against a good Ball State team. Keep up the good work men!!! Build on this and get a winning streak going!

Let's keep the win streak going. We've got two -- make it three at NIU. Never lost lead against BSU, that was a key. This bunch is coming along.

Eh, no. If you were actually got to watch the game, you'd see that the only reason Ball State is 4-1 in the MAC is because they got to beat up on the weaker West Division. They only have 1 starter above 6-4, and they are terrible finishing around the basket. They don't do any one part of the game particularly well either.

IMO this is a game we should have won by more, but our offensive deficiencies prevent us from blowing anybody out.

Yeah BSU wasnt that good of a team. They had more offensive deficiencies then we did, so it was a must win.

I looked at the west standings, i didn't realize how bad that division was, only one team at .500 overall, everyone else isn't close (7-12 Western is the next closest team to .500)
