Any word on Howard Fleming Jr.’s availability for the Valpo game? Need the same intensity we had for 30 minutes against Bucky Badger!! Valpo has not been kind to us over their years in the Valley!

Per Benson article, Fleming’s status is not yet clear.

I hope Chatman and Lewis bring their lunch pails and hold their own in the paint.

Defense will be the key. Our offense production was much higher against UW when we were in transition. Attack the rim and get to the line. It will be difficult to duplicate our 3pt% from the other night.

We shot 40.9% from 3 against UW and our season average is 38.8%. We are currently the 23rd best 3 point shooting team in the country.

We need to come out focused today on defense. We always seem to struggle against valpo defensively. If we are going to surprise people this year it means winning these types of games. The Lewis v. Krikke matchup should be fun to watch. Time for Washington to step up. He has a chance to cement himself in the rotation. I would love to see the same intensity as Wednesday but that will be hard to do just given human nature. Just need to go up there and play their principles and everything else will fall into place.

The good: we're hanging close.
The bad: we should be leading,

The good: only 2 fouls so far. (5:44 left in half)
The bad: that's gonna change.

The good: we're getting offensive rebounds.
The bad: we're not converting the subsequent BUNNIES

The good: Strong's shooting.
The bad: Reeves is not shooting well.
