Halftime
Verplancken leads scorers with 11
solid first half for Southern. Good ball game.
This is all setting up nicely, keep it close and earn a good road win.
To beat good teams it helps to get some big contributions from role players. Verplancken did it in the first half. Who will step up in the second half? Defensively, nice work on Prim. Mosely can get that stepback whenever he wants.
Good half. The lack of fans takes away a lot of the home court.
We played ten in the 1st half. Hopefully we will start to wear them down.
Still can't get over how inconsistent our FT shooting is this year, especially Jones.
Hope to see more Filewich in the 2nd half.
So our basic offensive plan is to pass the ball around a minimum of 12 times, then shoot a three, or is it a crappy pass to the interior for a turnover.
I can’t remember in the last 15 years that SIU scored on a called play after a timeout.
Oh well, they are hitting some threes to stay in it. Because once the threes dry up, SIU can’t penetrate, score inside, or rely on Domask to score on his patented pirouette shot

We are a defense-first team. I actually like this team shooting a lot of 3s, might even be necessary
3 fouls on Muila with 18:53 left
Hope to see more Filewich in the 2nd half.
You're gonna get your wish with Muila picking up his 3rd.

Mosley is getting his. Big difference in this game is Clay has been killing SIU on the offensive end and has been shutting Domask down on the defensive end.
Bad foul call on Muila and then Mosely walks, but instead they call a foul and he gets a 3 point play. Can't catch a break. Giving up to many easy drives or passes to cutters.
3 on Muila and Filewich with 15:13 left. Prim has been a force at drawing fouls.
