Basically a mistake free half. Can’t beat that.
Good half - 53% shooting!
The T brothers have 21 .. Troy and Trent!
Clay came out really aggressive and picked up 3 fouls.
Rupert was tough in there last few minutes.
We win the rbs 16 - 14
8 - 15 from three.
We need to drive on Clay early and often - get him in foul trouble.
Let's stay aggressive this half
Well. We can’t say Mullins doesn’t adjust. No Hensley against the huge Bears. Matchup based lineups, as long as the players buy in, can be very effective.
Lucky XJ didn't pick up a foul there
AJ not having his best game so far tonight, I have a feeling that is going to change here in the 2nd half.
Ebube is GASSED
Why Hensley and not Ebube? More to the point, why not play them both?
JFC: JH is NOT a 5.
(Inflammatory political snark)
If Hensley didn't develop at Cincy, not sure he's ever going to.
SIU is letting Missouri State hang around here
He’s really skilled but against big bodies it’s useless until he learns to keep the dribble alive and not pivot to death.
SIU has decided they’re not going to try and rebound this half.
If Hensley didn't develop at Cincy, not sure he's ever going to.
This is his 3rd school - what you see is what you get.
What we need the most is a backup point guard for XJ - someone who won't hurt us while giving XJ a breather
SIU 54 MO State 48 with about 7:40 left.
