Groce is starting tonight. Bond off the bench. Super 6th man.

Anyone else's ESPN3 feed crapping out?

Well this is an early self-destruct. Our 8 point withered away rather quickly... but normally that doesn't happen until the 2nd half.

Murphy has a problem getting these guys ready to play. Motivation, preparation, and adjustments.

Too many freshmen. We really have problems behind JT4. King is a frosh and it really shows.

Grace has 9 points but turnovers and fouls left and right...

That was Thompson's first foul. 3:54 left in the 1st half. Not bad.

That Kent State that just beat CMU on Saturday? Losing 48-25 at halftime to Miami...

IF EMU could ever figure out how to get JT4 the ball without causing a ton of turnovers, etc. we'd be fine.

Too often CMU is double and triple teaming and a lot of those passes don't make it through the interior defense.

Great FT shooting on both sides.

BTW, once again the true frosh are NOT producing. Groce is having a good game. The rest: zero points.

Guys, I really like getting those transfers. They are far, far more advanced than the true frosh.

Around the MAC. Other than UB the rest of the MAC is parity-city.

Nice interview with Brogan Roback during halftime.

BTW, I think Murphy found his top 6. Start Groce and let Bond come off the bench at multiple positions (SF, PG).

Elijah Minnie would've destroyed the planet with that alley oop, had it gone down.

Paul Jackson has been dreadful in MAC play. Such a shame, considering how well he played in the OOC portion of the schedule. Needs to pass more when he drives to the basket.

Groce has had moments of grace and moments of "What are you doing?!" That basket interference? Ugh.

i agree. he was billed as a pass-first guy, but i haven't seen it. he gets the same amount of assists as Talley, and i didn't think of Talley as a pass-first guy by any means (i thought he was great, just more of a scorer).

Minnie is such a stud. He can beat you in so many ways.

Right? Some great potential flashed, but the "erratic freshman" in him was on display. He will be a good one when the game slows down for him.

Paul Jackson doing what he can to blow it. Wow, he's been bad.

Minnie scored 11 straight points, and hasn't touched the ball since. Ridiculous.

My god. What are you doing Jackson? How many years have you been playing basketball?

MINNIE!!! thank you SOOOO much for that steal. that was huge.
