Hoping Mark Smith scores 20 + today, we all know he is capable of doing it !

This is a question for anyone that covers the team on the road.....does the 11:00am start time affect the players and coaches, a great deal?? I mean what time will the team roll out of bed, get something to eat, then get to arena??? Does the coaching staff start to alter their routine a day or so prior to a game like this to get the players accustom to the earlier than normal start??? Can't imagine the coaches or players would rather play at 11:00am as opposed to 2pm or evening game.....anyway....go O&B.....maybe buckEYES over sleep and play sluggish

Kam Williams suspended for OSU.

The last several years, it seems that any shred of adversity for our opponents portends our imminent doom.

As much as I would like to see the Beloved pull out a win, I just don't see it happening. Road game against a very experienced and talented team. Next year...maybe...this year...probably not happening.

It won't take a miracle for us to win this game. Just a little up from us, and a little down from them.

 

[skyIdub]

Alstork offense sighting!

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Need Alstork to keep contributing offensively. Atta boy, Finke!

 

[Trakis]

this is fun.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

I love the made 3s, but let's not get one dimensional.

 

[RickBB]

Amazing how making shots makes a team look better

 

[MC06]

Getting good looks out of the offense. Need to continue to trust it and run it.

 

[Deleted member 3875]

Frazier driving creates so many opps

 

[Spoon House]

Underwood just recently said he's starting to ask for accountability in that department.

Yeah, I am seeing too much talent just oozing out of those pores wearing read & white.

KIPP KIPP

 

[Trakis]

that is the best on-ball defense i've seen this season out of any player, let alone Frazier

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Kipper is dialed in. BU got his attention somehow.

 

[breadman]

doesn't Kipper walk when he does that fast break?

 

[Deleted member 3875]

Camera must be in top row. Terrible main camera viewing.

 

[Deleted member 51]

Anyone notice a player gets on a run and BU sits them. Reminds me of LH.

 

[skyIdub]

Oh my our D!

And Smith aggressive to the rim! GREAT start.
