Emu has really turned up the defensive effort. Need to calm down and play solid defense and get to the line here to finish the game.

Zone in the 1st half was good. I think it's just EMU came out more aggressive and set the pace the 2nd. They've shut down Reeves.

Zone has to be a change of pace. We stayed in it for about 10 to 12 minutes in the second half. I am sure he did it because we were fouling but we managed to foul while on the zone too

2nd half:
Birds: 8 turnovers, 11 fouls, ZERO assists, 30% shooting

EMU: 3 turnovers, 10 fouls, 7 assists, 60% shooting

Who’s supposed to be guarding Scott?

I think the McChesney made 3 will be the start of something good.

I was impressed with Fleming ability to rebound last year. He had 5 rebounds the first game (eight minutes) and already has 5 rebounds at halftime

I don’t get the minutes for McChesney right now; seems like nice kid but he‘s not quick enough to close out well, isnt strong enough to rebound and doesn’t really go to rim, maybe he shoots better in practice but Who doesn’t, oh and did I mention he struggles handling ball out front? Recognize he may be a project -but I see other players on the bench that have done more positive things so far- hope that these minutes start paying off soon.

Damn that almost went in

It's his energy. He gets after it the whole time.

Miller played the last 3 minutes of regulation

And pretty much all of OT.

Chatman is our best big since Jackie Carmichael

I can’t get my head around Miller being in this game. Good for him getting the nod, but just shocked.

Big (lucky) shot!

Miller is bank

 

[Redbird222]

That was not a foul on Fleming

 

[Bird Friend]

Big (lucky) shot!

Bank stayed open late on a Friday night.

 

[ILLST25]

This officiating is pathetic. There is a foul called on every take to the basket.

 

[Bird Friend]

Double overtime . . .

Reeves with 29
Chatman with 24

 

[Redbird222]

Maybe we can get Farrakan to foul out ... he has 4
