Considering our play, FGCU has played worse . . . Thank you very much.

We were worried about our turnovers....FGCU has 10 with 8 minutes remaining in first half. Wow

Can we stop with the attendance crap? Sound like a bunch of Cubs fans bragging about their attendance championships.

Like what I see from Copeland.

Jefferson has a good looking shot! Nice to have a couple more legit threats behind the arc this year with him and Copeland

Fayne is so active on the boards...even if he doesn't get it he is near it. He is fun to watch.

Good in spurts but not a ton of flow in the game. Just a little clunky that half. Need to hit the glass harder & keep forcing turnovers.

And all the posts on attendance...geez what do you expect? It’s an early start time on a Tuesday. That said, the crowd doesn’t look too bad on tv. But oh well, just win 😎

Last 7 minutes looked good. Seemed to be under control, good defense and not so many ISU players flying in and out of the lineup.

ISU needs to figure out the Milik rhythm before the competition really gets going. The team plays at a much higher level when Redbirds are in sync with Milik playing well. There were shades of it towards the end of the first half.

Poor Fayne with all the Bird Freethrows. 7-12 is not horrible....but that is 7 points out of 11 half time points for Fayne. I look at Fayne as a fellow poor freethrow shooter...and it sure makes it tougher to concentrate when everything freethrow is all about YOU.

Quantity of attempts through Fayne may scare us a little if he keeps missing but if he shoots enough...his low percentage may still have enough points to run the Eagles out the gym.
