SIU 34
NDSU 23
Halftime
Dibba leading SIU with 9
If we play the same half in the 2nd, I think we lose this game. NDSU isn't going to keep shooting 27%. Nice to have a buffer but need to grab some rebounds and guard the 3
43-29 at the 16 min TO. Keep driving to that rim, boys.
Feels like we're starting to play to NDSU's pace
So many missed bunnies in this one
47-32 at the 12 min TO. As long as NDSU stays cold from outside (currently 3-20), the Dawgs should have this one. Just keep the offense moving and don't get complacent.
Moreno is giving SIU some good minutes. Nice touch at the rim
Steffe drains a transition three to push the lead to 20... 🙂
54-34 at the under 8 TO. Time to start playing some clock here and wind this game down.
This half is going much better. Really impressed by the defense. The length is just giving NDSU fits right now.
NDSU can't hit anything. Really good half by SIU
Been a while since I had to crack open the media guide for a GOOD reason... 😉
SIU's record for the fewest points given up in the second half is 13, and NDSU's just barely avoided that, with just 14 points so far.
NDSU's also on the way to having one of the ten worst shooting percentage games in SIU history. If they stay under 26.8 percent here, they'll crack that list.
69-44 the happy final... hey, how about a no-doubt winner! That sure felt good.
SIU 69

Final
Held them to 26.5% shooting, nice little throwback
I like this matchup in basketball much better than in football.
Probably Dibba’s best game so far and I continue to love Aligbe’s motor.
A needed W going into the Florida swing.
