Looked like TSG hurt his shoulder in a freak non-contact injury. He’s still in the locker room and Ertle isn’t stepping up so far in his place. MYSU WITH A 6 point lead early.

Looked like a dislocation hopefully meaning only out for this game. Is Tavin in foul trouble? Got here a few minutes in and haven’t seen much of him.

Yeah, Loven has 2 fouls. Tony Toney got some PT which was good to see.

Ertel and Benjamin have been struggling with the taller, more athletic defenders since we got into conference play. Neither are shooting very well but a lot of it is they can't get many clean looks.

Down 32-27 at half. 2-10 from 3pt line.

Lovan and TSG have been kinda carrying this team lately. Without them on the court we look very average.

Not very inspiring.

I like this team but AK is gonna have to get some shooters in here. We're not gonna win at the level he's talked about with this kind of perimeter shooting. Defense and rebounding will only get you so far.

Got us second guessing everything on offense.

Wow, our "ball handler" group is really struggling. No other options there either apparently.

Benjamin, Ertel, and Jackson: 3-18

We should run a layup line for the entire next practice.

When did Ertel turn into a lockdown defender?

UAB takes first lead since early, 43-41, on an Ertel 3.

Probably when AK told him he'd have to play defense at UAB. Maybe that's why his shooting is down from previous seasons. Seriously. Playing tough D expends a ton of energy.

Nice run by the Blazers. Big shot from Benjamin after blowing a lay up.

UAB 52-43 4:47 left.

16-0 run by the Blazers.

Benjamin hurt. Knee took a weird twist.

Not good considering Jalen and TSG are the only ones hitting a 3, game by game. TSG has played well all around, to be honest.

If we’re down both TSG and Jalen, that’s rough.

Quan is playing hurt as well. Sigh.

I’ve never been more impressed by a 3-10 team than I am with MTSU

Two very good games by Jemison. Fiedler for Rice is a solid big and he kinda took it to Trey in our 2nd game. I like the way big 55 responded in two physical games with MTSU. Nice job big man.

Now we wait for the injury report.
