Game 15 - Jan 4 - At Valpo

[MVCBeat]

I'm a little nervous about this game. Valpo has played stronger teams tough. Really need Tytan and Will to bully Cooper inside. It would be great to win by a good amount but a win at all in this game would feel huge today.

Assuming Hutty is out, a win any way we can do it would be good.

Good to see Hutty getting some minutes, however, I'd imagine they'll be limited out of caution. Decent game so far at the under 12. A little bit sloppy here and there, but nothing crazy. Just need to tighten up on D a little bit, but that usually happens for us as we get further into the game.

hopefully valpo's shooting regressing to their average and we just keep hanging around to take advantage when that happens. decent crowd at valpo compared to what i typically remember seeing at their televised games

[kochrab]

Valpo is definitely not the sucky bottom feeder Valpo of the last few years, but man, we have got to get this game in our control. Too many 2nd chances for Valpo.

I get he hits the weights, but Schmitt throws his elbows every time he gets a post up

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. lol

Make your free throws. They're free.

Hate the feel of this game. Need a run out of the half here.

[unifan]

Have to get stops on D and have to make free throws. Otherwise, this could go south in a hurry in the second half.

[CyCarp]

Just feels like the type of game where we never get anything going. I'm not sure that we scored on back to back possessions more than a couple times, at least that's what it felt like.

[CletusCat]

This has to be the best Valpo crowd since Bryce Drew.

Attack their physical defense, make our free throws and play our game. We can still win this game.

['70 Grad]

The men are going to have to flip things in the second half like the women did against UIC just now. 20 down, then an 11-point win!!!

On replay, the 1st ball that Will got blocked on looked like all HAND, not BALL by the Beacon. No call. Then he was just standing with his hands up on a Becon offensive rebound, gets run into, and gets charged with a foul! (Maybe he had a foot in the charge arc, but he did not move - he was run in to by someone not in the air. What are you supposed to do?)
No respect by the refs for a freshman.

we need to flip things and start taking care of the ball... lot of time left in the game

WTF are we doing? Maybe Jake needs to stay home for trips to Indiana because we never seem to be prepared for these games.
