We’ve been playing better of late, though I still don’t have a good feeling about this one. We might cover (+10.5), but a win seems unlikely.

I used to road trip to this game when it was on a Saturday afternoon and meet up with a friend of mine. A lot of fun. And if Alex and company are reading this, I’ll just say……

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!!

We matchup poorly with their guards. And for some reason we’re averaging over 5 more fouls per game in conference than out.

Love the free beer effort to get students out for a team who’s turning it around.

Based on this start we should all get free beers.

Somehow fouls 5 to 1. Sparks brings his hands down on his block attempts, but Mirambeaux doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt.

Foul disparities are showing up in every in-conference game for some reason.

Evened up now. Credit to Steele for trying to switch up the defense, but BSU seems to have the zone figured out.

As good as Lairy is, having an undersized PG will hurt you defensively. Happened against CMU and Kent, and Buffalo tried to exploit it.

Good job to bring it back to single digits. Lairy is taking some shots that might as well be turnovers - weird floaters in the lane, off balance, with his weak hand.

BSU has had more unique content on our players than our broadcast has shown all season.

In other news, WMU scored 69 points in the 2nd to beat BG 108 in regulation.

I actually don’t mind this Lairy-less lineup. Against certain teams it can be effective. Anderson, Lewis, Safford, Kamari, Mabry.

Missing too many free throws.

Missed free throws are killing us. No room for error.

We got a break there. Come on #1

The score looks bad, but if we shoot FTs and knock down some open 3s like we normally do, this is a very different game.

Pretty terrible shooting day. Can’t buy a 3 and we missed some free throws that would have made this interesting. But all-in-all a forgettable performance.

Mabry was terrible. Not saying he was the reason we lost. But he didn’t have a good day.

Although truthfully the outcome is what I expected.
