Buffalo Bombers. Damn.

Unbelievable. How are we losing this game now?

Can Buffalo seriously keep up this hot three point shooting? I seriously doubt it, but who knows. We've shut McCrea down, but it doesn't really matter right now. If Freelove keeps hitting 27 footers, it could turn into a long night.

Well, you know what they say about the 2-3, you leave yourself susceptible to the three ball at times. That doesnt really worry me, they'll go cold eventually. We just need to keep worrying about McCrea.

If we can go on a solid run like we did early on in the 1st, I think we'll be ok. We just have to keep doing what we're doing and hope they go cold.

Also as a sidenote: It still amazes me, even this far into the year, how bad of a team we are on the boards. Considering what Murph preaches (tough defense) you would think we would be tougher on the glass. I know simply preaching tough defense doesnt mean we will automatically be tough on the boards... but you would think the style would kind of translate....

Right now we are getting out rebounded 25-17

Bad, bad fall.

These are two quality teams.

How do we stop Freelove ????? 7-11 from downtown. My lord.

Unreal.

Wow, the guy can make wide open threes. How amazing.

Freelove is a nightmare! he has to cool off, right? RIGHT?????

Wow, Bader + Freelove in one seaon.

The 2-3 really isn't effective when the other team can shoot. #fatalflaw

When I see Hurley it reminds me of the time EMU made that other Duke weenie, Chris Collins, cry.

The three pointer is a low percentage shot. If teams keep shooting them, it's usually a good thing for this defense, especially when we close out. This happens very rarely, but it does indeed happen. Not much you can really do. They'd be hitting these shots against a man-to-man defense too.

Maybe, but I'd like to see a change of pace to find out.

i agree. 95% of the time i think our defense is great, but why decide to NEVER play man? it doesn't make sense.

Yeah I don't get why either, or at least have someone cheat off on Freelove for a possession or two, just to keep Buffalo honest.

Combs off the bench.

Darell Combs on a personal 7-0 run. He's so much better when he drives and stops settling for threes.
