[Bird Friend]

Good god. Was that a back door cut . . . by us?!?

 

[Redbird222]

8 minutes and 7 turnovers ... ouch.

 

[Bird Friend]

McCheese hurt. Burford picks up 2nd foul. 13 possessions with 7 turnovers. We may be a 2nd half team, but we may be too far behind for it to matter.

 

[Scipio]

7 possessions - 3 turnovers

We’re consistent in that category. We turn the ball over with regularity.

 

[Redbird222]

Unbelievable run by

Sandage,Johnson,Knight, Kotov and Luke on the floor

McCheese hurt. Burford picks up 2nd foul. 13 possessions with 7 turnovers. We may be a 2nd half team, but we may be too far behind for it to matter.

Nevermind

 

[Redbird3298]

That foul call on Luke was terrible

 

[jwa123]

The refs brought their whistles with them tonight.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

Crazy holding Bates to 0 points in the first half when he's averaging 21 and a half for the season.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

Looks like no Cheese for the second half.

 

[Redbird222]

Hope fouls on Burford and Luke don't factor into this game

 

[GOP_Redbird]

Emoni Bates reminds me of Jereme Richmond from U of I. All the talent but just out there without a care in the world.

 

[Redbird222]

We need to stop the pentration

 

[Metamoron]

In a close game like this, at the end the talent takes over. Watch out for Bates.

 

[Manchester Matt]

We really miss the rim protector out there tonight.

 

[KingO]

Great game for sandage. Team seems to be coming together.

 

[Bird Friend]

Didn’t see this outcome with no Cheese for 80% of the game. Not sure I ever thought Sandage would be this big in a game. Here’s a stat for you: Birds shot 77.8% from 2 for the game (21-27). And I really like our chances when it’s close at the end because of our FT shooting.

 

[GOP_Redbird]

Emoni Bates wasn’t on the court the balance of the game after Kasubke stripped him at half court around 90 seconds left. It looked like Bates had no interest in playing tonight. Would run away from him if I was an NBA Scout.

 

[Redbird82]

Gutsy finish, short handed down with just over 2 to play. EMU may not be good but you gotta give the guys credit, EMU got really hot and we didn’t pack it in.

 

[Redbird222]

Well we would be difficult team to scout because who knows who will step up. Sandage plays 5 minutes and then scores 28 minutes the next game.

Luke played great defense and Lewis was stellar. Johnson, Schmidt, and Kotov all contributed.

Really cut down the turnovers after the first 8 minutes.

Hope MP and LM are healthy soon. I heard MP had a groin issue but not 100% sure
