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.

I guess I don’t know what a charge is anymore.

T on Evansville coach.

Our team is mentally tough.

let’s get THE DIFF up to 20

Hardman is going to score a ton this year if he keeps getting this open.

Check, now what can they do for you?

[1981 grad]

Hardman is in the zone.  He is not forcing it but just taking what the defense is giving him.  Would love to see him play like this the rest of the season.

[kreed5120]

How have they still not learned that you shouldn't leave Hardman wide open?
