@ Ball State (2/16)

[mbenecke]

At the under 16, BG now leads 47-40.

Gotta keep grinding. Ball State is coached well, so I think they're going to go on a run at some point. We'll need to weather that and keep pushing back.

Nice game so far for West Virginia Meth!

[mbenecke]

Everybody not named Justin Turner, Plowden or Matheny has combined for 2 of 18 FG attempts.

OUCH

Obviously not ideal at all, but Metheny's last 2 games have been massive for us. If he keeps playing at this level, we're a different team.

10:35 to play in the 2nd half, BG leads 52-48.

Nobody will ever convince me that Dylan Swingle should play a single min of division 1 basketball.

He looks like a walrus out there.

If he could just catch the ball, finish consistently around the rim, and rebound it every once in a while, he would be an incredible asset for this team.

I don't need him posting 20 and 10 every night. I just need a decent big. That would raise the ceiling for this team tremendously.

Yeah, but he literally does none of that. He's always out of position one direction or the other because he's cheating away knowing he's too slow to get anywhere. His hands are awful, fumbling passes and rebounds.

He has missed a couple of layups tonight where he basically had to do nothing but catch a pass and place it in the basket.

His hands are so bad, and he's so unathletic that he's the worst rebounding 6'11 player I've ever seen in my life. Dude makes freshman year Otis Polk look skinny and athletic.

I'd love to have this Huggins kid on our team.

And as I say that he commits a silly foul on Swingle.

With 7:51 to play, BG leads 58-52.

It's a good thing BSU is hell bent on giving us the ball time after time.

Still not playing real great as a team but might be enough with Matheny becoming a nice 3rd option.

6:16 left in regulation, BG leads 62-54.

Ball state player punched Diggs and gets ejected. WTF...

I missed it - got caught up watching my wife's show for a minute before turning my attention back to the laptop.

Was it a good call?

[hammb]

Nice job Kaden. Gets fouled on a 3 and doesn't touch the rim once from the line.

5:16 to play, BG leads 66-54.

Yes totally. I don't know what happened. They were moving around and the dude just decked him in the face. Maybe there was something said or some frustration, no idea. Very strange, but it was the definition of a flagrant2

[mbenecke]

For as good of a shooter as he is, Diggs needs to be more automatic from the charity stripe.
