At Valpo

[Bird Friend]

Down 33-29 with 2:33 left in half. We're sloppy on offense, scrambling too much on D . . . And Luedtke can't remember it's the Beacons and not the Crusaders . . .

 

[Baltimore Bird]

Fleming must have 5+ turnovers. Stop it!
ISU must have missed 5+ layups. Make them!
We are the better team!!

 

[Bird Friend]

I'd say Freeman would help with the TOs, but I'm not sure he would.

Officially Fleming has 4 turnovers. We're 5-13 on layups.

 

[Matt Hein Fan]

Terrible half. Why do we always let players who average something like 2 points and shoot below 30% dominate against us?

The missed layups really hurt. Been impressed with Valpo's defense. Need to get Reeves going in the second half.

They need to stop that Sabonis wanna be. He's killing them.

 

[Bird Friend]

Down 39-31. Slow start (what's new?) . . . finished half sluggish (not unusual) . . . Reeves struggling. Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies . . . Seem to have forgotten what they were doing well versus Wiscy.

Sy Chatman is 0-14 from 3 this season . . . why is he allowed to shoot from 3?

 

[Loyl2u]

Hopefully some of the layups start going in, but hard to complain about shots. Reeves and Strong need more touches, that means less for Fleming and Washington - only way that happens is if we go to 2 guards, McChesney at the 3, Lewis and Chatman/Schmitt, got a lot of boards when those guys were on floor.

 

[Redbird222]

Sy has to do better on Krikke
Make the damn point blank shots

 

[ILLST25]

we’ve missed 47 layups

And counting

 

[Loyl2u]

And how many Turnovers do we have -12 so far, thats the difference between whisky play and this right now

Fleming has 6 . . .

 

[Redbird222]

Fleming is struggling mightly

McChesney and Schmidt are providing good minutes

 

[Redbird222]

Valpo is up 49 - 46. Everytime Krikke goes to the bench we make a run

 

[Bird Friend]

Valpo is up 49 - 46. Everytime Krikke goes to the bench we make a run

And every time we make a run, we shoot ourselves in the foot.

 

[Loyl2u]

+/- Schmitt is +9, Chatman -16 right now = balance of defense/offense

 

[The Beak]

Birds need to go at Krikke more than they have been

 

[CaliRdBrd]

Isn’t one of Valpo’s best players out?
