Okay, we need 20 guys to all kick in a buck and we're going to @kreed5120's to watch the stream.  He's providing the grub.

The bad news is the men's game isn't on ESPN+. The good news is that the women's game at #6 Michigan isn't either.

Hope the Zips don't get caught looking forward to Eastern Michigan.  Potential trap game.

The real trap game is the Eastern Michigan game as they look forward to Concord.

I just bought access to the game.  I thought it was an app I could watch on my tv but it looks like I need to watch through the computer.  Arena looks empty for the first game.  Picture looks decent.

Sounds like the Yale game so far. Defense optional. 

[1981 grad]

We are getting beat up on the boards.  Need to be tougher under the rim.  One good thing about the feed, no commercials.  Maybe we will not have so many stops in the action

[clarkwgriswold]

This game just has a bad feel to it.

I didn't like when I heard on the audio feed that Murray State has tons of NIL available. 

[1981 grad]

They have been able to drive the ball on us.  And when they get the ball underneath, we have doubled leading to open shooters at the 3 line.  We can play with anyone but need to hit our open shots.

Might be the 10 point deficit?

[kreed5120]

We're just not a good defensive team when we're not generating turnovers.

I got the feeling early when Joe told me that the Zips coaches thought Murray State was more talented than Yale.

Massive run! My game cast was just zips zips zips zips (I hate relying on game cast)

[Captain Kangaroo]

I’m getting a good feeling about this game!

[Illini Zip]

Barre is blocking shots. 

[csims0917]

Adjustments are needed 

[1981 grad]

Halligan came in and spurred the Zips rally with some really good defense.  He was fighting through the screens and would not let his man drive to the basket.  Groce was switching him in for defense.  With Barre and him on the floor at the same time you could see the difference in defense.  I would like to see them get more playing time in the 2nd half.

[Illini Zip]

Need a fast start. Hopefully that scuffle at the end of the half lights a fire into our guys in a good way. 

[csims0917]

What’s the story with the scuffle?

I believe Scott got locked up with one of their freshmen as time expired. Both hit the ground. And both charged with a technical foul, but no shots taken. 

[1981 grad]

Murray State has been called for about 6 offensive fouls on moving screens.  It is helping us to stay in the game.  This is not Eric's best game.  Groce took him out early in the half.
