A key to the game is our guards taking care of the ball.  We have done a lot better this year with turnovers. 

A lot better!  How's the weather shaping up?

It's a crisp 38 degrees right now in Tulsa, but next weekend expecting temps in the mid 60's.

early turnovers...

[mj]

1. The ESPN announcers are horrible.

2. Darien Walker takes waaaayyyy too many shots.

[wh]

Win or lose, playing without an experienced point guard to distribute the ball is painful to watch.

[oklahomamick]

We have had a couple 5 point leads, but CSU comes back with a couple runs.  Let's try to get it to 8 at half. 

[mj]

That was a horrible half of basketball. No flow to the offense. Stupid turnovers. We will lose if we play like that in the 2nd half.

[atkins]

Weak game against 3 starters and 2 reserves for CSU.

Actually it'll be Valpo 52 CSU 50 if we continue this trajectory.

[oklahomamick]

These are typical CSU games.  Its frustrating.  Hand checks all night.  Cant call them all. 

[oklahomamick]

Even more frustrating is that my video feed keeps freezing.  The HL network was so much better than the espn3. 

[atkins]

The announcers are correct -- Alec really must develop the ability to create shots off the dribble.  He's not fleet-footed or agile, but he will be lethal if he can add the scoring dimension.  I think he'll do it. 

[valpotx]

I hate these CSU games, because they never call their hand checks!!!!

[oklahomamick]

We have fouled C. Lee twice on jump shots.  He's automatic at the free throw line. 

[oklahomamick]

Every time we get up by 7 they cut it too 1. 

[LaPorteAveApostle]

Charlie Lee is giving both freshmen guards a graduate seminar in how to play D1 hoops...I was afraid of this.

[valpotx]

These calls and non-calls against CSU every year are complete horse $h!+

[LaPorteAveApostle]

I take some small solace in knowing that we'd be up 10 instead of tied were KC at the point.

Very small solace.

I know I'm usually among the most optimistic on this board, but I feel pretty BLERG about this one.

[a3uge]

E Victor is a terrible point guard.

[LaPorteAveApostle]

AT LEAST HE BRINGS THE BALL OVER THE LINE IN FEWER THAN TEN SECONDS

GAAAAAH

WHAT IS THIS BIDDY BALL

[oklahomamick]

turnover, turnover, turnover.  I haven't looked at the stats but I'm sure they have twice as many shots as us.  The 10 second count was inexcusable. 

[valpotx]

He fuckn slapped his arm!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oklahomamick]

I count 4 fouls each possession.  6 if I was really looking for them. 

[oklahomamick]

HOMERUN PASS!!!!!

[LaPorteAveApostle]

HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW IT'S COMING

IT'S COMING!!

[oklahomamick]

Someone said free throws may hurt us.  That one just may have.  I don't want ot.
