This might be our last chance for a win. Considering how bad we've been at home the last couple games, it's hard to see the Toledo game being in our favor. If we win this game, and NIU loses tonight against WMU, we can do no worse than the 9 seed. Only shot we have at a home game is to win our last two and hope Miami loses their last two. Odds are we are probably going to Oxford again. Hopefully we can get a lead and hold onto it this time.

You were correct Sam, good call.

I wonder what Ball State will report tonight's attendance at. Anything more than 400 is disingenuous.

Was thinking the same thing. It looks like 100 people if that. The seats behind the baskets are almost completely empty.

Tim Bond hitting the freshman wall? Not tonight so far.

Haha right? Welcome back Timmy.

On a related note, Ball state could be the worst passing team I've ever seen. Every pass is telegraphed.

"I see you, Bond" as Rod Allen (Tigers') would say.

Bond is getting to play in his game, transition...

I'm sure my "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, JODAN" face looks very similar to Murphy's.

I can't believe that his shot selection has not improved throughout the year. He can be in the game for 45 seconds and already be 0/3 from deep. He is nothing more than a spot up shooter on the offensive end and has not been great at that even.

Some good ball movement the last few possessions. Even Samuels found a back cutting Ward for a dunk. Almost looked like we had an actual offensive plan.

I love "cutting to the basket for dunks and layups" Karrington Ward much more than "settle for contested 3 pointers" Karrington Ward.

Very nice offensive half. Ball movement was as good as it's been all season.

We forced some turnovers defensively, but still gave up some easy layups. Clamp down on those baseline cuts and we win this one comfortably.

Good to see the scoring spread throughout the team. Without seeing the stats, at least 4 guys with 6 or more points.

Bond makes an awful pass 30 feet from the hoop, which makes you think "man what a freshman mistake" but then hustles back and blocks the shot. Gotta love his effort.

I love the old school Ball State highlights. I wish we could do something similar. It would be cool to see some Earl/Dial clips during our home broadcast.

The production quality is quite high for Ball State broadcasts. Their communications department has earned its reputation.

It's called 'stuffing the stat sheet' - without scoring - he got a TO and BL on that series.

BTW, very, very well balanced scoring - 5 players with 6 or 7 points - at the half...
