That lead got to 11 real fast. They are shooting 80% from the field and 71% from 3. That's nuts.

[JCT]

They are really denying the ball to Krutwig.

Didn't we watch any tape on these guys?

[JCT]

Need to close out this half well. Eight points down with 423 left....

I can't get over how bad our missed shots look. We aren't even close on so many shots.

[Johhnyfingers]

We look lost on offense.

It feels like we should be down a lot more than 7. But we’re not.

Yeah, that could have been a lot worse.

[JCT]

We look lost on offense.

And sometimes helpless on defense. Their length is really causing problems. And they have a bunch of undefendable shots they make, like the stop and pop shots in the lane.

SIU beat St. Louis in Carbondale tonight-- that's a good win for them (and the league). St Louis beat Butler a few days ago.

Missouri State beats Western Kentucky at home.

Now let's turn this around and get a win tonight.

Much better half these last ten minutes. Frank is really doing work on the defensive end. Aher settled down a bit and most of all the threes are falling for us.
