[SpaceRaider]

-1.5

 

[SpaceRaider]

that was quick, now its -1.5 for JSU

 

[TrueBlue147]

This would be a perfect time for our three point shooting ability to return. We haven't shot the three ball well in several games.

 

[MTOleBlue]

We’ll be heading down early today to Huntsville to cheer the men on… Hoping for two wins in front of a huge Blue Raider fan showing…

5 minutes until tip, we have settled in at MT +2 or +110 on the money line

Very curious how this one goes, I love Jax State -2 here but laying off

 

[sWiley]

The Quel'Ron House guy is really impressive for Jax State. He shows up in big games like this. Expect him to be getting a nice NIL deal in the off season. We gotta put the clamps on him today somehow to give ourselves a chance

[jakeboldenbrp]

Jax State with 6 Offensive Rebounds in 12 minutes leading to 6 second chance points. It's not rocket science.

 

[sWiley]

Jax State getting the easier shots in the paint....MT relying more on outside shooting....

Over time I have to wonder which has better odds of winning....

 

[SpaceRaider]

2:38

MT 32
jsu 31

 

[sWiley]

58% from 3 and only up 1.....

Glad to be up 1 but that is not encouraging

Mustafa or Loofe is gonna have to get going and get us some easy's

 

[SpaceRaider]

one of these times Loofe is going to get T'd up for hanging on the rim.

 

[TrueBlue147]

Please dont draw up a play for Weston to take the ball in iso. Were like 0-5667 in this situation.

 

[sWiley]

HERE WE GO WITH THESE FUCIKING REFS AGAIN OMG. LANDS DIDNT EVEN TOUCH HIM AND DUDE KICKED HIM

 

[SpaceRaider]

I am not impressed with these damn refs

Half

35-35

 

[TrueBlue147]

More terrible officiating!

 

[TrueBlue147]

Jacksonville State gets the momentum going into halftime after the referees screw us.

 

[SpaceRaider]

is that the same damn ref that was missing calls on the crew last night, geez

Officials:

Will Howard, Jason Baker, Michael Wallace

Not looking good for the good guys

JSU 43
MT 35

scoreless to 1st media timeout in 2nd half

 

[altshauf]

Ugly

 

[sWiley]

All those early 3's were fools gold.

At the end of the day you have to figure out how to get some easy 2's. Jax State making it look easy while we cannot hit the broad side of a barn

 

[SpaceRaider]

11:47

JSU 50
MT 43

 

[SpaceRaider]

we're doing better but the momentum is on jsu's side

 

[TrueBlue147]

That ball obviosity hit the rim. This has to be the worst officiating Ive ever seen for a tournament.

 

[sWiley]

Looking like curtains

Jax state gonna pull away here. We cannot put the ball in the basket

Just an awful, terrible, feeble second half performance. Season ending with a whimper
