It's halftime
Kent 42 IPFW 35

Will someone tell me why we scheduled this game in the middle of the conference schedule ? :rolleyes:

We had to move this game here when we picked up the 4 games in the CC tourney.
Makes for a tough week after last week. Can we win 3 games in a row at home in 6 days? At least we get a week off after Saturday to regroup.
42-35--much too close for halftime. I still have painful memories of last year's game in FW which we barely won.

I believe we can win all three of these games. Obviously the Buffalo game worries me the most. I watched the Bulls at Akron last week and even though they got worked over by a steadily improving Akron team, they are a very big team. I'll have to look it up but I'm almost sure they have out-rebounded almost everyone they have played.

Some on this board seem to be getting a little nervous by our recent road play. I'm not one of them. Win your home games and everything will fall into place. Simma Down Naw !!!

1. Why isn't the audio working or is it just me?

2. Why aren't the live stats on or again is it just me?

3. Way to go Flashes! ESPN reports 15pt lead with 7 1/2 minutes to go!

Flashes win 81-72. Hold on after pushing the lead to 15 from 7 at the half.

Get some rest. The next two count for real!!!!

Beat the Bulls! Wish I could be there!!!

Looking forward to the game accounts from those who were there.

I was at the game and i thought the following:

negatives:
1. Warz was completely out of sorts and seemed to be lost and have no confidence.
2. Radio said Gerwig's knee is giving him problems and he is visiting a specialist in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He was in street clothes tonight. God help us if he is out based on Warz being lost.

positives:
1. i don't compliment JC that much but i felt he seemed more patient and encouraging tonight which is essential as i get the feeling this team is greatly struggling with its confidence.
2. Haynes didn't start and appeared to get the wake-up callas he was the key to the 2nd half run.
3. More time for Scott and Meechie tonight and i thought they brought energy and let the starters know nothing is a given as far as PT.

Not a great game. Much too close for a lousy team, but after two ugly losses, I will pull out the cliche "A win is a win." The Flashes failed to tighten up on their shooters as they were 13-27 from 3-point range. KSU had a big foul-shooting disparity because they took the ball inside both with the dribble and by pass. Cutley not only had a great scoring game, but he also had several nice passes.

For those that missed it, the starting lineup was Johnson, Edwin, Scott, Cutley and Warzynski. It's probably not something you do long term, but it was a nice way to shake it up. I know others agree with me, but Mechie is one of the enigmas to me. He always looks so tentative. He does not do anything quick because he is not aggressive.

Was at the game and do not let this W fool anyone. We are not a very good team at this point. I still do not know why. DeAndre, Gates, Cudley, and Warz, all missed layups. Obviously, JC realized that the 3 will not win all games and is trying to emphasize an inside game. It is about time. We do not and did not handle the ball well. Wednesday's intensity must increase or Buffalo will have theire way with us. Maturity and guts may not come fast enough for my taste. A win is not a win. IPfw is 4-14 for petes sake.
