@ Toledo (1/27)

[mbenecke]

Tied at the half thanks to a pointless foul with 0.8 seconds left before the horn.

31 all.

[hammb]

Can't believe they only called 7 fouls in the entire half,yet 2 were on Agee. The offensive foul they called him looked pretty bad with UT guy not even in front of him.

Overall a good first half, the polar opposite of Tuesdays first half where BG spent the entire thing at the ft line.

No way in hell UT is this good defensively that they didn't foul hill or Spurgin a single time in the paint. But if they call it that way on both ends I suppose I can live with it.

Zero free throws and we took 23 two pointers with most in the paint

I'm expecting a half where there is a foul every possession knowing mac refs

[mbenecke]

Dear lord, that was a ridiculously soft (invisible?) foul call on Spurgin.

I don’t generally like ragging on officials, but today is pretty egregiously inconsistent.

[mbenecke]

Toledo up 6 now. They’re hitting shots and we’re not.

[mbenecke]

We’re not guarding the perimeter at all right now.

[mbenecke]

At the under 12 in the 2nd half, BG leads 56-54.

Also, Akron lost at Miami today. So that’s a significant development for the winner here.

[hammb]

This has been a fantastic basketball game

[fanatic13]

Both teams are hitting shots and battling. Agreed defense has gave up a few too many open looks but man both teams are red hot

[mbenecke]

We can’t guard this Maddox kid and it basically ended the game. We’re down 9 now.

16-2 Toledo run.

[hammb]

Man our inability to go on those 3-4 three pointer runs is gonna be the ceiling on this season.

Yep. That's what this team lacks.

There isn't anybody on this roster I want shooting like that. Love this team but our lack of shooting is a problem

It’s super weird. We have decent shooters, but none that I would call dominant. Who’s our best shooter from deep? Thomas? Maybe Spurgin?

Hill is obviously a very good player, but I don’t necessarily trust him away from the rim. His finishing is insane, but his jump shooting is just okay.

Idk. You can tell we’re obviously very well-coached and this team fights and plays hard and the program is in good shape. But that’s something that you can tell is still missing, and that’s why we’re going to lose tough ones like this against the other good teams in the MAC.

This team could use a microwave guy like a Dylan Frye, Matt Fox, Zach Denny, etc.

They weren’t always efficient, but when they were hot, they were HOT.

People keep telling me we have decent shooters but we shoot like 30% from 3. I guess that qualifies as decent but that's a lot closer to bad than good. Thomas, spurgin, and Humphrey are the only guys I'd call good from deep. Phillip and Hill both sub 30% is pretty bad.

And unlike most good teams we don't have the guy off the bench that can shoot it.
