BG (10-8, 6-6 MAC) vs. Kent State (10-5, 7-4 MAC)

Tuesday. 7:00pm. CBSSN.

Let's not get embarrassed on national television, okay?

[mbenecke]

Swingle is back in the starting lineup tonight.

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.

[mbenecke]

Under 12, BG leads 13-11.

[mbenecke]

Under 8, Kent State leads 18-15.

Yes, we've scored 5 points in the last 8 minutes.

[Hammer]

It’s beating a dead horse but this coaching staff has to go.

[mbenecke]

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.

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...

[mbenecke]

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.

[mbenecke]

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.

[mbenecke]

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.

[mbenecke]

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.

[Hammer]

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

[hammb]

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.
