Home game, so there is always the chance for a tainted breakfast for the visitors, if you know what I mean...

You’ve never heard of Bellarmine? Up to this year they’ve been really good. The state of our program right now is we’re really young. I've seen the name but am not familiar with them. I'm more of a casual basketball fan. There are a lot of D1 schools in basketball I know nothing about. Never seen them play and can't remember them in the tournament. I see some of their losses are close to decent teams, so I understand why people expect a loss. Playing at home seems to make a big difference for us, so I predict a narrow victory. they just made the move to D1 in the past couple of years. And they’ve been pretty successful with it

Hendriks is our best passer. I feel weird typing this.

Might be our best free throw shooter also

How many of us are already hoping Hendriks comes back next year for his final year of eligibility. Has 9 points & 7 rebounds at the half.

At some point when you realize you are the biggest player on the court, then positive things happen. Glad Ben is taking advantage of that.

I guess Lewis saw enough in that potential to keep him around while we were trying to get him to cut him loose.

After the Little Rock game it's nice to see the the opponent struggle from 3. That was likely the difference today. They missed plenty of open 3s.

Let me finish that last sentence for you: I just hope we’re still in the game with 7 minutes left...in the first half. Atta boy. Our double hex worked!

How did our injured players look on the sidelines? Any word on either?
Played 2 of our 9 guards today...
So far Mason Jones doing a surprisingly good job on D at that position, 4 assists, 1 TO. Passing and ball movement from everyone.

Good bounce back game. Wasn't really expecting that tbh, but I guess I should at this point with this coach. He seems really good at motivating after those kind of games. Echoing others, but seeing Ben shine has been a holiday this year.

He looked a little more interested in shooting today, he wanted to drive a few times and stepped back out to reverse the ball. Not all bad when we did not really want to push the pace. Anderson I'd like to see get to the basket a bit more, but I'll give Bellarmine some credit. Also, playing Hendriks does mean the lane is a little crowded at times.
