44-36 at the half. Not bad. 

 

I would like to apologize to Evansville for hating on them during the Oregon State game. They play hard. They'll beat a decent number of teams this year. 

Just hopefully not us.

Great interview with AD Dr. Goodrich during the halftime show. Haven't really been following him much, but he seems like a very positive and upbeat dude. Definitely more likable than our previous ADs.

I knew they'd be a tough out when I saw what they did to Calumet College of St. Joseph.

 

They are scrappy.  They should win a few games.  They won't see many bigger teams.

I actually feel Evansville ended up being a decent matchup for us. Gives us exposure to both size and a defense that is throwing different looks at us. Will prepare us better for later as the season progresses.

 

Akron has a much larger rotation. I think Akron can pull away in the final 10 minutes as their legs get tired if we can keep the game uptempo.

Definitely.  He can work a room.  Very friendly and personable.

He’s extremely likeable if you watch the zips nation insider interview it made me want to run through a wall

They are very well coached.

Commentator on Tavari:  "He has got the hinges to this Akron bus."

 

Huh?

The color guy has been very weird this tournament. He especially likes to speak a little louder when he thinks he has something clever to say

This comment is bright to by Bacardi - the official liquor of the Virgin Islands.

Flagrant.
