snoozefest so far. Trouble keeping my eyes open

Summary for those watching the WBB:

Loran Christian Jackson is REALLY good.
Toledo can shoot 3's REALLY well.
Akron went on a 21-0 run.

Game is about even up back and forth.

UT 44 - 42 at the half:

Poor officiating makes playing defense difficult. Rockets didn’t play great, but still have a lead.

Great job to battle back from the 21-0 Akron run and take the lead at halftime!

I think we're going to see a lot of calling it tight and early to avoid on-court issues that seem to be growing in the sport. I thought the tight calls went to Akron just as much to us. I'm not sure what defense works againt LC Jackson other than trying to be over the top when he puts it up and hope to get ball, not player.

I blinked and missed it. This is a tennis match even on my pitifully small screen.

How do they even adjust? It's like the opposite of playing a team with the center we can't match, you go low. With this guy, go high?

+1, poor officiating made many aspects difficult in the first half, luckily Marreon got out of the half with just two fouls, need to keep him on the court.

Some of those fouls were pretty lame - on both teams

Akron getting contributions from Dailey, up by 2.

Millner suddenly our go to 3 pt guy.

Milner makes a 3 and we get rewarded by a foul call,.... on Shumate. Up 4.

Keyshaun with a great rebound put-back, up 7. Akron can't respond, foul on Akron.

Akron seems to go away from the game that got them that 21-0 run. Now it's penetrate, pass to the 3 pt line,, getting good minutes from LC Jacksons true Fr replacement.

Rollins, Acunzo, J Hill, Littleson,... I need another player for my All-Hair team.

One thing for sure. This team battles. Every player for UT puts forth good effort.

Littleson has slowed LCJ way down
