Not bad... A few more turnovers than I'd like to see but much more aggressive in the early going.

It's easy to underestimate your opponent after you beat them badly on their home court.

valpospartan · January 17, 2018, 07:22:32 PM

Do you suppose that MSU thinks that their white court is wonderful?

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 07:30:56 PM

Update on Kiser: Not playing tonight but did participate in shootaround. That's terrific news. Will be great to hopefully get him back soon.

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 07:41:55 PM

Centers need to learn that it's okay to dunk the ball every once in awhile but on the whole they've done well.

Golder and Evelyn have been fantastic.

bbtds · January 17, 2018, 07:42:45 PM

It seems as if Golder can keep us in this game when our three point shooting and Tevonn is off that might be enough for a great finish to win it.

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 07:47:31 PM

+6 on the glass +5 on the board. Good stuff!

crusadermoe · January 17, 2018, 07:50:37 PM

Impressive. When did we last have a 5+ point lead at the half in a road game?

Sorolla's vertical could be measured in fractions of an inch.

Golder reminds me of a more athletic Howard Little.

crusadermoe · January 17, 2018, 08:26:04 PM

Good comparison. Is the streaming really choppy? Or is it just me?

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 08:27:08 PM

Some terrible officiating the past two Missouri State possessions have cost Valpo four points. A missed travel and a phantom foul on Bradford.

JBC1824 · January 17, 2018, 08:28:57 PM

Tevonn can't shoot.

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 08:29:06 PM

Less Sorolla more Smits please.

oklahomamick · January 17, 2018, 08:31:45 PM

How did they miss that travel!!!!!

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 08:32:59 PM

This is a game we've controlled and deserve to win I just hope the awful stretches we go through when Smits sits don't doom us.

NativeCheesehead · January 17, 2018, 08:33:23 PM

Even with them possibly about to put this game out of reach, I'm very encouraged by the defensive and rebounding effort up to this point. This is a young team making strides.

jloose128 · January 17, 2018, 08:35:20 PM

Apparently we couldn't contain Alize Johnson for four quarters. Oh well.

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 08:35:56 PM

Too much Alize Johnson.

oklahomamick · January 17, 2018, 08:38:00 PM

We had one of those....but better. Alec Peters

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 08:40:47 PM

We could use him about now. My goodness. Also what happened to Tevonn tonight ? Oh there's one!

Really felt like the game turned on that .

VUGrad1314 · January 17, 2018, 08:46:51 PM

Should we go zone full time? Serious question.

oklahomamick · January 17, 2018, 08:47:33 PM

Did they say 6-11 free throw shooting?

M · January 17, 2018, 08:47:57 PM

No, but maybe consider using it a bit more often.

Sheesh, even when we have position we can't get a rebound.
