I liked that we kept the bench rotation short today. Only Ish and Hazen saw meaningful minutes. When games are close we don’t need to be rotating as many players in.

We really need to cut turnovers down to under 7 a game but I don't see that happening as-long-as Persons is playing point.

Yeah and seven assists is one the best games he will have all season. There was a conference game last season where I think he had 1 assist and 6 turnovers.

Why does this win feel like a loss feels? Really thought we would dominate and win going away? So are we and App State at the same level of how good/bad this team actually is?

3 randomly chosen forum members could do better job than this TV crew. We would at least watch the game, and have no desire to talk about ourselves as much... No kidding! They talked about Lebrun James for what 10 minutes straight while the game was going on!! That was ridiculous!

I feel sort of fortunate the game was streamed at all, so I am not going to bitch about the announcers.

I feel sort of fortunate the game was streamed at all, so I am not going to bitch about the announcers. I started following Ball State bball when we were lucky to even be on television, and relied on Morry to bring me road games. So I've never had to rely on announcers to tell me what was happening in front of me. A little analysis on the other team would be nice, though. A big-name crew adds a little atmosphere, but that's about it. Depend on the JV guys and you'll always be disappointed.

App State is an average team in my view; in fairness they only lost to Alabama and Witchita by 8 each

Didn’t the Cards sink 20 straight free throws and hit 33of 43 nearly 80% in today’s game?

Or that we missed the free throw at the end of regulation, which allowed Ap st to tie the game. We all know we managed to win anyway. But most of us also know playing the way we did isn’t going to win many games vs better competition we’re going to see. Like getting our asses handed to us the 3 games prior. It was good to see us grab control in overtime and hold onto it.
