Rollins should have taken clock instead of shot after we got the long offensive RB.

This one isn’t over just yet.

Nobody should be bounce passing on the perimeter, knowing the defense is guarding the perimter. Certainly not while everyone is on the move. Rare mistake by Moss.

Way too sloppy tonight. Gotta be better with the ball. Lots of points off turnovers against.

At least on that bounce both o players were moving towards the basket but the bounce was behind Milner. That foul could easily have gone against Milner. Simply getting not out smarted, but the OU pressure and speed is exposing a passing and ball handling weakness.

Enjoyed that last minute with the bench. Did some good stuff there. Terrific game and saw some things the team can work on.

Some things to work on if we see Ohio again in the MAC tournament. Certainly a nice rebound from the Muncie Misfire.

17 turnovers! My dogs heard some new words tonight!!!

Shumate's 7 blocks ties Allen Pinson for 4th most in team history.

We really beat OU by double digits while committing 17 turnovers versus just 5 for them.

Out-rebounded them by 21. Won pts. in paint battle by 20.

5,831 official attendance. Packed to the brim student sections on both ends.

Go Rrrockets!

I'd like to see a breakdown on those tounovers. Some, those passes I mentioned came maybe when the players are more tired and still pushing the ball. Early though, they'd get trapped along the baseline and OU was very good at closing the passing lanes.

Ball St and Kent St? Bad games or tough matchups for us? I did note that we extended our lead by 7 when Carcoana was in. He may not know the game as well as the others but as they say, youcan't teach tall. No amount of hustle by 6'7" guys can replace that.

Ball state loss entirely due to one stat for ball. 14/29 from 3. 9/11 to start the game. They were 1/9 in the first half tonight against central.

Great win. What can you say?

Mihai didn’t get the minutes tonight but 2 points & 3 rebounds in 4 minutes, I’ll take. Gradual improvement. No Edu tonight so maybe not quite ready to see the floor?

They are getting energy from the bench that might not show up in the box score.

The defense was outstanding tonight. Nick would be proud.

I hope he at least gets time against that team from down south. The place should be full and Savage roof get tested. DEFINITELY want the first appearance to be a home game.

Don't think Edu's going in a game like Ohio. Too intense and too much on on the line.

The stat is true and hard to dispute as cause. I'd still like to rewatch because I don't recall ANY effort from the bench to throw Ball St off their hot streak. I don't recall anything but waiting for tv time-outs. I don't recall any man pressure on the perimeter.... I put cause on the decisions by the bench. It's a buck stop situation. Theirs is to disrupt. Take a chance on the perimeter and see if our guard speed is enough to both throw off their shot and their passing and take the chance in the middle.

CMU-Ball St in OT.
