phantom foul on murrell with 31 sec left wins game for bg

Ankle injury

Missed Dartis down the stretch.

Foster?

Heck of a game. Very few teams will win though with only 8 assists. Vander Plas is a stud and works hard on every play and has great attitude but he was overmatched on Turner there at the end. Need a win Tuesday night badly.

I couldn't figure out how BG had only one foul in the first 19 minutes of the game. But then again, there were only six fouls total in the first half of the Nova-Xavier game today and there was a lot of body banging going on.

Lousy broadcast in the second half. They completely got away from discussing the game and instead interviewed the former BG player. I was glad for the technical problems they had. Gave me an excuse to listen to Russ and Rob, even though the AM station up here kept fading.

I still think we can win three of the last four (I'm not counting on beating Akron). Three wins should guarantee a home game in the first round of the tourney.

I understand honoring a team and talking about BG Hoops history during the game. But get it all out of your system during the first half. You don't do live player interviews during the second half of a game.

I thought they did a great job with the players because they focused on those players playing against OU. First name mentioned - Patrick Flomo.

Just got back from the game. That was a tough one to digest, I guess the 2 hour trip back helped a bit. For whatever reason, the team seemed to second guess themselves, their shots, passes etc when Dartis was gone in the 2nd half. They didn't seem to play with near the confidence and intensity as they did in the first half. This is the life of a young team with a first year coach. I imagine Coach Boals has got to be sick to his stomach. BG looked like they didn't belong on the same floor as us in the first half, and then the 2nd half implosion came. Hopefully this will all be an unpleasant memory in a couple of years.

Some thoughts, Dan Dakich is just as full of himself in person as he is on air. Heard his halftime talk and and his interaction with fans when unbeknownst to me he was practically right next to me before half time. Also, those BG announcers are worse than some Division III announcing crew who aren't paid, but volunteer. I had the misfortune to hear them before and after the game. Russ and Rob in a drunken stupor would be better than that crew.

I have joked about Millett Hall in Oxford looking as if it belonged in East Berlin, so much so that it had to be the unanimous winner of the Walter Ulbricht East German architecture award of 1968. Well my return trip to the Stroh Center reminds that it had to the winner of the 2010 Midwest High School Gymnasium competition (Division I bracket.) Honestly, I think we have all seen large high school suburban gyms that are similar. Having said that, it works, a paltry, ho-hum crowd can seem so much bigger. Imagine a recruit visiting the Stroh Center and then Dayton's arena? It we get the Convo rocking again, I can only imagine the fear it would instill if you are accustom to arenas like the Stroh Center.

Correct...no reason to sugarcoat it. Murrell's two bricks in the last four minutes were brutal. Zero confidence. The second one that nearly broke the backboard had Boals putting his fist through the scorers table.

I guess you missed him almost scoring more points than our starting center or how he bangs inside.
