Wonder what the status is for Jackson and Jackson.

Seems like we match up bad with ball state. Have lost 3 straight. Haven’t won in Muncie in a few years.

Really curious to see how our bigs play the second time around. If Willie Jackson is 100%, will that make a difference? Will the recent emergence of sorts of Gordon make a difference? Both are undersized compared to the 2 bigs for Ball State, but with Knapke & Adway it will give us more bodies to throw at it than the Cardinals have. Cardinals just don’t have much more in the paint than their 2 starters.:bangh I think this time Coach K pushes tempo & subs a lot, we wear Ball State’s short bench down, and the Rockets pull out a close win on the road today.

Marreon Jackson out today.

Ouch. But really..

It's a team that could break the streak against Ball St but risking the PG isn't worth it when the reasonable potentials down the line with a healthy M J are something fan base has waited for a LONG time. IF MJ comes back full strength by conference, then the additional experience by other points will help the team I think.

I feel like we could play 6 on 5 and we’d still lose to ball state lately.

I think we all feel that pain. It does sometimes seem to need a superhuman effort to break these streaks, doesn't it?

Even without MJ, if this team has an even normal shooting game, they'll be in it.

Willie Jackson will start in place of Mj.

BS calls and non-calls so far. Flagrant called because there would have been no call on Adway.

Welcome to hell (muncie). Sanford relegated to bench on 2 questionable charge calls. Weakest flagrant foul call you’ll ever see on adway and game May as well be over 4 minutes in.

I came in after the 2 fouls on Sanford but the one on Adway was legit and even Fletcher playing like it's his first middle school game. Sigh, could be a long day, lol.

A foul? Ok. A flagrant? Not even close.

What is it with BS?

Quote:In basketball, a flagrant foul is a personal foul that involves excessive or violent contact that could injure the fouled player. A flagrant foul may be unintentional or purposeful; the latter type is also called an "intentional foul" in the NBA.

I agree with the call. Adway pushed him even after he was toppling over.

Not to switch sides, I would also say the in the circle call against Moses was wrong. He was outside the circle until contact pushed him in.

They've reverted to playing Fletcher Ball. This has lose all over it, need to get the others involved.

Toledo looks worst they looked all year in both games against ball state. Can’t rebound. Can’t shoot. Can’t defend.

Of course ball state has guys that shoot 20% from 3 hitting 3s from nearly half court

This has blowout written all over it.

I don't know. Ball St has beaten some good defense. Gunn has a shot that most shot coaches would have slapped out of a kid by 8th grade but he's made it from places the D doesn't usually set up. Odd ball game. From a team pov, not the worst but some individual clumsiness with some individeal bad decision making.

They need the 3's to beat Ball St.

These refs are awful. 10 guys with 2 fouls.
