Game day. The last game WKU could not hit a three til late.
We have to defend that lob and stay out of foul trouble.
WKU seems to be out of sorts since Stansbury is out with back issues.
A win will be hard fought again. Game is at 6:30. Get there early!

Last time out against them was a perfect storm of them not being able to hit their open shots while we were nailing contested 3’s at a near 50% clip. This time we get them at home, so that helps, but their ability to cause us problems in the paint at both ends with Bassey worries me.

i dont see a win except if their center get in foul trouble most of the game
They will shoot better and we will shoot worse
I will be watching

Need Gueye to get back in the groove. He's got to be active on the glass tonight.

If we keep shooting in the high 40's from field, we'll be in every game, including this one.

Go Blazers

I wonder is Mrs. $tan$ will come w/o hubby. Enjoyed being within hearing distance - I always learned a new vocabulary from her drill sergeant manner.

Is anyone planning on going to the BWW meetup? If so, how long do you plan on being there? I don't think I can leave before 5 so I didn't think it'd be worth it if Coach Scott is leaving at 5:15, and I assume everyone else heads out about the same time.

I think the coach is back...

Yes, this is Stansbury’s first game back

Blazers are 1 point underdogs

Is there 600 people there?

There might be 1,000 people here ten minutes before tipoff. Looks like the students decided to stay home too.

Shocking

We're playing some great defense early on. 6-2 under 18 mins left in the half

Gueye with a 3! 9-2 Blazers

9-6 Blazers at the under 16 timeout

Man. We're playing well tonight. So is Western unfortunately. We're up 18-16 at the under 12

Gotta front Bassey. He gets his body on the defender, it's over.

30-25 Blazers with a little over 5 mins left

Blazers lead 36-31 at the half

Good half of basketball there. Very fun to watch

Things tend to go a lot better when we take care of the ball. Impressed by the total team effort. Zack isnt scoring but hes doing everything else.
