1/22 - Wright State @ Nutter Center

I do not remember that quote, but the 2007 Valpo/UNC game yielded one of my favorite halftime quotes ever from a coach. UNC scores the first 13 points and Valpo cannot hit a shot despite getting open looks, but then Valpo starts hitting shots and cuts a big lead to 5 at the half. At halftime, the ESPN sideline reporter asks Roy Williams if he was impressed with his team's defensive effort given that Valpo did not score for the first 7 minutes. Williams responds, "what game are you watching?"

Valpo then and now is not as talented as that UNC team, but Valpo's talent level is so much greater and deeper than it ever has been.

Slow, grind it out game. I don't know if our 10 point MOV streak survives though.

Valpo 63
WSU 57

When I watched UMD at WSU the two commentators were huge fans of WSU. One (Brown) was yelling and celebrating the last second shot. Hope I don't have to listen to that again....

Coach Jim Brown needs to be slapped upside the head if he mis-pronounces our team name again... I'm up to 4...

2 hand hold on Peter away from the ball on every possession so far.

oklahomamick · January 22, 2016, 06:28:12 PM

Whats the record for lowest halftime score?

vu84v2 · January 22, 2016, 06:28:20 PM

The play-by-play guy seems OK, but Brown is awful. Agree on the pronunciation issue.

Need to settle down and get good possessions.

oklahomamick · January 22, 2016, 06:37:15 PM

D.Walker 15 WSU 18 with 4 minutes left in the 1st half.

SanityLost17 · January 22, 2016, 06:38:21 PM

Not sure if Drew is getting out-coached...Yet...

But Donlon has been playing a lot of 4 guard offenses, and after a switch or two, Fernandez has had to play a guard out by the 3 point line. They have gotten 7 points so far because of that.

At the half... Valpo 25 WSU 22 a 3/4-court for Benzinger at the buzzer

vu84v2 · January 22, 2016, 06:47:18 PM

They should look at the 3/4 court shot again. Not sure he got that off in time, but it was close.

talksalot · January 22, 2016, 06:48:02 PM

Tonagel's shot was in _____ against ____ from about the same distance... who can fill in the blanks?

He is either dumber then a doorknob or deliberately trying to mispronounce the name. He is sitting right next to a guy who seems to be saying it correctly over and over again so the dope catches on. What an idiot.

Jabril looks flat out horrible. Looks like he could give two craps about playing today. Every time he touches the ball it's a bad shot or turnover. His defense is the weakest on the team.

No peters involvement whatsoever. Won't surprise me if we lose.

talksalot · January 22, 2016, 06:54:52 PM

We're up 3... if we play them even in the second half, we win.

oklahomamick · January 22, 2016, 06:55:32 PM

Jim Brown related to former Texas football coach Mac Brown?

The play-by-play guy is just as much at fault. How many timeouts has he had to straighten the guy out, but hasn't? The whole thing is ignorant and disrespectful.

Yep, it's amazing we're up. Fortunately, WSU looks equally pathetic. Someone is going to get their head out of their butt in the 2nd half. Let's hope it's us. This smells like Ball State (without the injury excuse).

SanityLost17 · January 22, 2016, 07:19:48 PM

Karena sets an illegal screen on every possession, has not been called once. I get it, every call against us is accurate, but WSU has not had one called on them yet.

talksalot · January 22, 2016, 07:22:04 PM

16 to play second half... UIC 41-36... just sayin'

rink · January 22, 2016, 07:28:18 PM

We better pull our heads out of our rears. Suddenly down 5 with 10:00 to go. Missing free throws, missing bunnies. Ugly looking stuff in the last few minutes, frustrating.

Make it down 7. Ugh!

ValpoRook · January 22, 2016, 07:29:04 PM

Sting would likely disagree on the mis-pronunciation. Lol.

rink · January 22, 2016, 07:36:51 PM

What a block by Peters! Sandwiched between hitting two three pointers. Attached boy.

oklahomamick · January 22, 2016, 07:38:19 PM

Where is K.Carter?

rink · January 22, 2016, 07:42:07 PM

This color commentator is borderline brutal on the ears. The southern drawl, the know-it-all attitude, the vendetta he has against occasional silence.
