Play-In Games - Thursday Night

Nevermind. I should've known better.

Probably the best 33 minutes UE has played all year on both ends of the court. Bring on the Redbirds.

Survive and advance. You can't win the whole thing unless you win the first game. You don't rest players and pace yourself. The last 3 minutes was a good example of that.

Gotta shoot better from the FT line. I think tomorrow's game will be competitive.

Jaylon Brown with 27 points and 8 rebounds - not bad for a second team all conference selection.

Well, if ISUr doesn't press us and don't foul, Howard, or Benzon, we might have a chance.

BU! Shock the Shock.

JB played 39 minutes in a Thursday PIG. He sounds like a pretty good player on a really bad team who is asked to do more than he is capable of to make them competitive. If others could do more, he might do a little less, but they would have a better team. Good Luck vs. ISUR

You make it sound like since it was a Thursday night PIG he should have played less? It was kind of an important game. There is no tomorrrow.

He has been doing this all year. He did it all last year as well. This is no surprise to UE fans Last year they played 3 games in 3 days. It didn't seem to have much effect on the players.

The game also got a little close down the stretch. IMO, you don't play for tomorrow, you have to win today. And you do whatever it takes. He probably could have came out at again when they got up big. Is 35 minutes played that much more of a difference then 39?

Is 35 minutes played that much more of a difference then 39?

Yes.

It's amazing how many people absolutely refuse to get it.

Thank you Mr. Basketball.

Super impressed with Brown and Evansville last night. You could see that was a guy who wanted that game. Felt like Evansville's defense was really good up until about the 12 min mark in the 2nd half. Maybe they just took the foot off the gas, I don't know.

Not that it mattered, but the whole rolling the ball up the floor thing, a defender finally dove for the ball! I have been waiting for that forever. I don't remember ever seeing that happen before. Super heads up play. Not that the game was in any doubt at that exact point, but underrated play by Brown.

As for Bradley, better team won the game. Bradley didn't look as good as they have the last couple games, but good enough to beat Drake. Need to play a perfect game tonight to hang with Wichita. Not sure they have much of a chance, but they always say, if you have a chip and a chair, you have a chance.
