Eastern Michigan (1/22)

Game tips off in Ypsilanti at 7:00pm. I won't be watching, but I'll be listening on the radio. Let's make it 10 in a row, boys!

Am I the only one that thinks Dylan Frye shoots way too much? I feel like he kills possessions by chucking shots

[mbenecke]

HALFTIME: BG is up 36-27. Up and down half, happy to have the lead. This game is far from over, and we're going to have to keep pushing if we want to come home with a win. Overall happy with the effort, but we have to finish.

Damn!!! The Falcons are rolling again...Juice drills a trey and BG has their biggest lead of the night at 52-36! 12:33 left in the game.

[Falconfreak90]

Wiggins with a slam and TO with 7:55 left...BG leading 61-47!!

[Falconfreak90]

75-65....1:33 left. Let's close it out.

Even better,,,,Toledo choked away a late 12 point lead to lose in OT at Kent and Buffalo trails NIU by 8 at half

Yes and no.

He's a reasonably efficient 3pt shooter and he has the best range on the team. What I get annoyed with are his "heat check" shots. Way too many of those. I'd bet he's closer to 45% from 3 when he's taking shots in rhythm of the offense.

And he's really developed as a passer this year too.

Overall though this team is playing some good basketball. Another big assist total tonight, which really is showing exactly how this team has improved from prior to 12/5 and now.

And of course juice goes for another 19. Big contributions from Uju, Wiggins, Plowden, Laster, and Sierra again.

This team is playing better than I've seen BG play in very long time. Loving it.

A loooong time. But damn this beats the alternative!

Definitely agree with your points about Frye. I think last year it showed a lot more when he was trying to do too much. I was definitely worried about him being the primary ball handler this year but i think he understands his role more

BG bench outscored EMU bench 28-4. Damn. BG had 20 assists to EMU's 9. Team win.

And we just keep rolling.

Oxford on Saturday. Let's make it 11 straight.

The assist totals are just mind boggling, Freak.

No clearer indicator of this team has changed from prior to 12/5 until now. This is a team that had no more than 14 assists in any game prior to the start of this winning streak. And that includes in games against Bluffton and Tiffin. Now they've had multiple 20 assist games and have been at 13 or over in 8 of the 10 games of this streak.

For years we've moaned about the insistence of iso play, and the lack of a true PG. We still don't have that one guy you ask to bring the ball up and direct the offense, but we're seeing that Fields, Laster, Turner, and Frye are all capable of seeing the floor and distributing the ball where it needs to go.

Best of all, this newfound ball movement is resulting in wins. Not just wins, but a ton of double digit wins. What better way to convince your team to keep moving the ball than to point out how clearly it has led to WINNING.

Loving this...can't wait for that Buffalo game next week!

[Flipper]

20 assists to 7 turnovers....that is a pretty impressive ratio for a team

[TalonsDownForWhat]

DOWN GOES BUFFALO! We are alone at the top! If we win our next 2, we have a 2 game lead on the whole conference
