The box score has the attendance at 2394. I would say that’s pretty good for a 9pm game on break. The crowd was into the game to, especially as we took the lead

Enrique 12-13 from the line

Third scorer of the game: Shammah Scott with 10

Thornton has played a great game tonight

And…. Tribble fouls out on a tech

Make Tribble the Papa John’s Sub of the Game every game!

Steal leading to a freeman dunk to take the lead. Force a TO. Then the ACH ball toss. Best TO of the year

Gonna need a solid possession coming back from this TO. Don’t need a 3

Down by 7 at the under 4. Let’s cut it to a one possession game by half

Speedway has some great parking options

Well, technically 5 home games. But only 3 D1 home games

100% Agree. Comparing this year to the championship season 2 years ago, this schedule has been way better. Yes we played OSU and Marshall, but the other games were not close to what we got this year. That year we had Point Park (compare to Miami-Hamilton), Wheeling (compare to Heidelberg), Wright State (compare to NKU). Other than that, this year had way better games, and a much better Thanksgiving Tournament field.

The MAC only has 4/12 teams in the top 200 Kenpom, Akron 99 Can't 117 Toledo 146 Ohio 173 BG is 204, one of only 2 teams with 10+ wins and under the 200 mark (San Diego 223) BG is also 30th in the country in Luck

Again advocating for Thornton, he has never been much of a scorer. Last year he averaged 8.8 PPG(career high) and shot 41.8% (career high). This year he is averaging 46.2% on 12 fewer minutes per game. He also has a 2.3 Assist to Turnover ratio this year, up from 1.65 from last year. Groce has commended Thornton the last few games, he just doesn’t get the minutes down the stretch

Always a tough trip to NIU. But they did change their court!

I think they just play above their numbers. They just aren’t going to score a lot when you have Ali and Enrique on the floor doing a lot of the scoring

Anyone hear the postgame show? No zips live on Facebook today

I feel like Scott and Thornton have played well so far. They are much better than what we had in sammy and Hank at this time last year. They do make some mistakes but I think they have been playing hard and contributing in smaller roles (which is okay when you have a team of Enrique, Ali, Sammy, and Greg already)

12-19 on free throws. Gotta be better

5 point possession by Rique

Ball is sticking too much, need to keep passing

Ali playing with a little too much back to the basket

Need a 2 for 1 right here to end the half
