[Theology73]

Amazing start! Hitting on all cylinders. Those who have been experiencing struggles are coming up big. What a domination so far! 25-2 run!

25-2 run
KK and SOM are perfect from the field.

But it is a 40 minute game

[mumuskie87]

JP is still not in sync out there
BU back with a 5-0 run

Macura is a complete mess today and the last 4 games

[mumuskie87]

JP and Tre both with 2 fouls

[mumuskie87]

Nice drive and bucket by Q.
Much needed bucket with Tre and JP on the bench.

[muskieman]

let's duplicate that half

[mumuskie87]

X was up 29-11 with 9 minutes left in the half.
BU cut the lead to 10 at the half.
But I will take it.

KK and the Big Irish combined to go 8-8 from the field and scored 19 pts.
Tre started hot but tailed off.
Great to see KG knock down a couple of 3's.
Scruggs/Q played pretty solid. 3 assists and 0 TO's.
Couple of great drives by each to score buckets when Tre and JP were on the bench.

JP - not a good half. Seems to be in a funk out there.

2nd half is going to be a war

[mumuskie87]

My nephew just told me Jones isn't playing today. Fortunately, X plays a team with subpar post players.

That's correct. Shoulder injury.
Hurts but hope KK and SOM can play well.
SOM was great in the 1st game

Any word on the severity? March is right around the corner.

No but he has had issues with his shoulder for a good chunk of the season. Will hurt if he is out for any extended period of time

Good half. We continue to make bonehead plays (JP and Tre) when we have a big lead. This is the difference between us and Nova.
