BG v Ostriches 1/6

[Globetrotter]

Ostriches are 9-5 and undefeated at home.

Lost to Ball State week 1 62-72,

Its our second Star Wars Day. Last time we lost 76-91. Not good.

My prediction? Pain. EMU hasn't lost at home and have 84 blocks on the year. We have some mini guards that like to drive the lane and throw up garbage and a passive post that can't be touched or he falls to the ground. This team has 84 blocks on the year already. They are not a good 3 point shooting team though. Run a zone? If we win it will be because we hit our threes.

Lillard starting for Frye. Any word on Frye?

[Globetrotter]

Frye in street clothes.

Wiggins has a foul a minute in. We are in trouble.

This is looking ugly so far...

[Globetrotter]

Looks like they have never seen a zone before.

Shooting 17%

[mbenecke]

Tough game so far, but only down by 1 at the half.

[Globetrotter]

This is the game to play fox a bunch.

[mbenecke]

Wiggins needs to catch that ball and finish. His hands and toughness again could be our downfall in this game... Come on!

[mbenecke]

We're in OT, we got here tied at 66.

With 1:27 left, we're up 71-68. Gotta learn to finish these games...

[mbenecke]

Justin Turner goes to the line and knocks down both.

BG is up 73-69 with 20.2 left.

[mbenecke]

BG wins, 75-71. Great way to steal a road win.

[JohnFloyd4Life]

What a weird win. Lillard played to his potential, Fox hit 6 threes. We won without Frye and with Caldwell as a non scoring factor.

[Globetrotter]

Fox has to play when they go to zone. He was made for that.
