BG takes on Siena Heights at 2:00pm today. Game will be on ESPN+.

[Globetrotter]

Hill, Agee and the walk ons are all in with 9 mintues to go in the first half? What is going on?

I walked out and back in and was confused. We got back int he game though.

Sleepy afternoon start on a weekday in a mostly empty Stroh. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Lol

[mbenecke]

BG down 29-28 at the half.

32% field goals and 30% from three is… not very good.

Hoping we come out shooting better in the 2nd half. We have no business losing this game.

Being down at the half v an NAIA school is unacceptable. We played the end of the bench. They got real minutes against a squad that wants to beat us. Time to actually play to win in the 2nd half.

I had no idea they were NAIA. They look pretty good.

Man. I continue to see zero evidence that this team can actually shoot. I know tough to build an entire roster in a single offseason, and my expectations aren't real high anyhow, but still frustrating. Tons of wide open bricks from the arc.

[Globetrotter]

If this tells you anything. I know we are missing 2 guys typically in the rotation but I don't remember their names. Phillips and something. For whatever reason those 3 players are the same guy to me. Edwards-Phillips and 3rd guy.

It's the wierdest thing. I think they are all good too. I just can't differentiate them.

[Globetrotter]

Humphries-Phillips-Edwards. I think its the strangest thing. They all have similar numbers. All new guys. All similar games. I don't get to see their faces because the camera for our games is never close. (Im not complaining I am happy these are on). They have melded into one player to me.

[Diemilkweed]

Humphrey is the 3 point shooter. Edwards is the one who plays like a big. Phillips, as far as I can tell, doesn't really have a distinguishing feature to his game.

I haven't been to as many games a I'd like. Weird schedule and the weekday games, etc. But I sit like 20' from the court and I'm with you. Their games/body types are similar enough that I haven't formed any opinions on them either. Thomas hasn't played a ton. Humphries has looked like the best 3pt shooter on the team, but still when they're on the court until I notice their numbers it's tough to differentiate them all.

Spurgin stands out because he spends more time on his ass than any other big man I can remember...it's hilarious now that I'm no longer worried if he'll get back up every time he goes down.

[mbenecke]

BG up 12 with 8 minutes left. Far from a complete performance, but I’m glad that we don’t just give up when we play a bad half.

[mbenecke]

Thomas is a good shooter when he gets in rhythm. He’s made 9 threes in the last 2 games combined at a better than 50% clip.

[Diemilkweed]

We are forcing more turnovers and bad shots. WE are getting more WIDE open shots, and this half, hitting them.

Even McComb hit a pair of 3's.

[mbenecke]

BG wins 79-58.

Well take a 20+ point win.

7 wins in a row. Best record at Christmas since 04-05. Kinda wild.

Beat EMU.
