#3 on the trainers table.  Knee or ankle? Pray for a quick cure.

Had ice bag on ankle/lower leg. Gone now, but limping.

Seems like a solid crowd for a Tuesday night game vs Ball State.

Can’t tell if this is just a flex of the courtside seat

They would prefer to call it salmon color. Not that it’s any better.

Slop time

Grrrrrr, letting up and getting sloppy again.

This team loses all ability to play about midway through the second half. So annoying

It seemed after the 8 min timeout we just quit running offense. Just walked downed the court, dribble a bit, and then toss up a 3 (not even good look ones). I'm not sure if we just took our foot off the gas too early or what.

A 22 point lead is now an 11 point lead.  Have not seen Stanovick play much.  Nice steal then cannot finish at the other end.  Not good when you finally get playing time and the lead evaporates.

The ice is back on Sharon's ankle.

We play with our food too much

Akron is favored by 20.5 points with an O/U of 154.5...maybe Vegas is starting to catch on to our lower scoring games. 

 

maybe they will soon catch on to our lower point spreads also 😲

It's always good to feast on a MAC cupcake.

Groce: “was it a 32 minute game or 40 minute game? I think our players thought it was a 32 minute game”

[UAZipster0305]

Against respectable teams, it would be a 32 minute game and a 40 minute loss.

Exactly.  This team's propensity to let up with a big lead is maddening.  Don't let up on the gas.  It would be different if this happened with backups in the game late but it's happening with our vets on the floor.

I’ve been asked how this team compares to others since I started watching and I say we are as talented as any of them. But the effort might be the worse. Just sucks effort is our vice. So frustrating and I fear it’ll bite us hard against someone we can’t lose too

Effort is fixable though, talent is not.

Agree with everyone else.  Two home games in a row with garbage endings.  I swear with less than 3 minutes left the away basket expands and every junk 3 goes through the hoop.   

 

Fun Fact:  Ball State only lost by 9 to Miami.  Albeit, at home.
