This is pretty ugly basketball right now. Two games in a row where we haven’t looked locked-in to start.

They caught us up on fouls. Now 7 for us.
That said, they still only have 19 so sometimes things just work out.
Under 4 media timeout.
State 29, Birds 19.
Neither team can be shooting 35% I wouldn't think. Will be interesting when I look at the stats at the half.

Neese, Bledson, Kent, McKnight and Gibson out of the TO.
Burford just Globetrots around and carries like up to his shoulder to no call. Crowd got loud there.

Excellent defense on that possession. Neese MVP for his seamless switching up top.
For sure. Similar to the UIC game, we don’t look great but yet are in complete control of the game. I just hope we bring something better out of the gates in Nashville.
Neese has been really good on that end today. I’ve been critical of the D so far, but Neese is bringing it!
State with the use it or lose it TO after Redbird 3.
37-26 State. 26.8 to go.

Between Neese controlling the top and Kent being assigned Burford and annoying him with the length, that seemed to help a lot.

Usually I’m fine with winning ugly, especially late in the season, but wow that was tough to watch.
Way too many turnovers!
Way too many turnovers!
Definitely. Had a sub 1 A/TO ratio in that half.
great crowd and we look like crap

I LOVE the expectations for us now. That first half would have been fantastic for the last decade. Now if we're not shooting 50% and up 20, we looked like crap.
We shot 43%, we're up 9 and the opponent is on pace to score 52.
Gibson starting the half for Henry.
Call the flop.
I love it too.
Also, you can’t deny Illinois State missed a lot of good looks in the first half. That was not good defense on our part a lot of the time.
