I want Terry Harris. Jalen Brown.

I, like all of you, would have flipped over my coffee table had Minnie finished that windmill alley-oop.

No clue why the starters are in. This is over. Get them out to avoid injuries.

Nice team win lets get the next two on the road and hit 20 wins

Any kind of conference bye would be huge.

The sad thing, for NIU, is if they finish #12 and we #5, then have to come back to Ypsi a week from Monday.

And after they have to play TOL and BSU. Ugh!!!

Well you got Harris and Green all the scholie players got in today except Silver who is redshirting

Very happy for this team. They did what they needed to do: dominate in preparation for the biggest game of our season on Tuesday.

BTW, Jalen Brown is apparently redshirting. He played as a true frosh walk-on last year.

I assume he'll transfer down to D-II or NAIA, but Murphy saved a year of elig for him.

don't want to sound (couldn't find a broken record emoticon) but CLE is going to be great.

The tourney could be wide open with 5 teams which are real shots to make a lot of noise in CLE.

If anyone is bored tonight at 6pm, check out BG at Kent on cbs sports. If Kent wins, then our game against WMU is essentially a play-in game for the 4-seed.

I guess I missed it. Congrats Timmy!

Bond picked up a steal on the play he tipped and dunked.

You are correct. He had a steal and a dunk on the same play. Fantastic. Congrats to that young man.

Its was AWESOME.

221 never looked so good.

Breaking a Boykins record is special. Really amazing that Earl had that many. I believe a handful of those steals were off Szerbiak.

I think he realized this was a trap game, too. And probably wants to be playing for something Tuesday against WMU as badly as we done. Accomplished

I guess i am too new to div 1 MBB. Harris was able to get a 3 pointer. And did in non conference also. He could have played more when others needed some rest. Educate me please.

12 points, 3 boards, a steal, and a block. We are 9 minutes into the game.

I have been saying since the beginning of the season that Thompson and Bond are the 2 most important players on this team. I will admit I was wrong, Minnie is at the least right along side them. He is such a dependable and complete player.

Yes, I second that.

Exactly, and I regret even bringing up the WMU game. I would argue additionally that EMU also brings out the worst in themselves as well in these trap game situations. We’ll see. Can’t offer the same analysis as you, just the intangibles...

Agree. Hopefully with this being Bond's day the team will be ready to play. I'd like to see Bond play man defense on German all day. We know that won't happen though.

I am glad to say, we dead wrong on this one!!
