It looks like Les is settling in on a starting 5 of Pepper, Johnson, Anigwe, Beasley and Adebayo for now with Milling and Losé coming off the bench for significant minutes. DeBruhl has gotten some good minutes also this year especially if Johnson or Pepper get in early foul trouble.

Adebayo is a defensive specialist. He's long and strong but rarely scores. Losé is a great defender and he is showing some offensive capability at times. Milling is a good defender and can be a deadly shooter from distance but his shot has been off a bit in the early going. When he's feeling it, Les will keep him in and have the team get the ball to him often.

A lot of things can contribute to TO's: anything from unfocused, sloppiness to great defense by the opponent and lots of things in between. Les has this team playing at full speed so things happen quickly when everyone is on the fly including errant passes at times. Milwaukee was quick and athletic and got into the passing lanes. They were more aggressive than we were for much of the game.

FT's...who knows? Mental...maybe. I've always wondered why the women are so good at FT shooting compared to men. I think it may be easier for them to put up a more "soft" shot for some reason. Men miss off the back of the iron quite a bit and the big guys generally struggle the most. Maybe someone at UCD could do their grad thesis on this and figure it out!

Montana fans are booing their own team. Classy!

It will be interesting to see if the Aggies have good energy today or will be tired from the tough game yesterday.

SEMO beat Boston U. 62-53 in their first game of the Classic.

:lol:

SE Louisiana 45 Idaho 42 - Final

SE Louisiana moves on to play at #6 Samford.

Idaho's kicker slipped and fell down and the kick was just wide...heartbreaker for the Vandals...

Gardner-Webb 52 Eastern Kentucky 41 - Final

Gardner-Webb moves on to play at #5 William & Mary.

And Idaho scores on a bomb...45-42 SELA with 3:23 to go

He's done pretty well at Vandy. His role there is primarily handling the ball and making assists. He won't be scoring nearly as much as he did here.

It looks like Les has given this team the green light to run at every chance they get. I like that but it can also lead to a lot of risky passes and a lot of turnovers. I feel like we just got out worked on the defensive board in this game and that was huge.

Weber State 38 North Dakota 31 - Final

Weber State moves on to play at #3 Montana State.

We only shot 16-25 on FT's and some of those were the front end of 1 & 1's and 7-23 from 3 is not very good either. I liked the way we never quit but I don't think Les will be happy with our defense or with Milwaukee being the aggressor for most of the game.

Heartbreaker...but this game was really lost on allowing 27 points off our 19 turnovers. T.Y. Johnson with a monster game with 32 points. I hope he had lots of family and friends in the stands.

We're getting out hustled on the boards.

Aggies fall 67-48. The Ags only shot 31% for the game including only 5-23 from 3.

39-36 Milwaukee at the half. The Panthers have 15 points of Aggie turnovers. Rebounding and turnovers have been the difference so far.

Weber State 37 North Dakota 14 at the half.

Sloppy basketball by the Aggies.
