Murray St. Up 10 to start the 2nd half

I've been watching this one since the under 8 media TO.  A few of my observations:

-Murray State has a fantastic building, and tonight a great atmosphere. (and then after, we get to see this awful floor at Oregon)

-Both of these teams are NCAA Tournament worthy.
-Belmont's press/trap could give OUr guys some trouble. 
-Belmont with a bunch of solid players and good shooters
-Isiah Canaan is just fantastic to watch, and can beat opponents in so many ways offensively.

-Is the OVC better than the MAC this year?  Seems like they could be be to me.  Murray State and Belmont definitely comparable to Ohio and Akron.

Sorry to see Belmont lose, I hoped we would get them undefeated in conference so we could make a statement come bracketbuster.  They shot 52% from the field, including 43% from three.  I think they had 12 turnovers.  I missed the game, how did they lose?

They went to a full court press that was not effective until the late stages of the game when it started causing turnovers and they started hitting outrageous contested three's to erase a 15 point deficit.  It was a wild finish.  Murray hit their free throws and had a HUGE clutch three late from Canaan to seal it.

There were points in the game before that where Murray was raining threes.  Belmont would get some easy backdoor baskets but trading two's for three's put them in a hole for much of the night

Ohio can't get frustrated if they get grabbed and hacked trying to break the press if the refs don't call a foul every time.  Officiating can be pretty crappy these days and you just have to play through it.
