AJ Clayton is a top tier big man in the MAC. Get used to it. Man I wish he had 2 more seasons after this not one. He just keeps getting better. He keeps refining those skills in the paint and watch out.
Someone tell Hadaway to get off the perimeter, stop shooting 3s and go use those rebounding skills.
EJ goes for 36 minutes...Boals most trusted scorer right now?
Best game by far from Jaylin, much more like last year. If we get anywhere close to that from him in conference play we will be top 4 for sure.
Sheldon is a scorer, really played his way into more minutes. At least the Brown Bros injury struggles have brought Sheldon into the light. He can really shoot it. And i think his free throw troubles are an aberration, he will work thru it.
Reef some nice assists but still too many shots. I see him more as an elite defender and someone where the offense can comfortably run thru but not end with too much.
13 for 16 from the line, finally a non-cringey performance there.
NIU may have been missing 2 scorers but they still shot 43% from 3 and drained 12 threes.
BG is another big one early. I imagine line will be near 0. A win there helps wipe out the home loss to Toledo and set us up for a potentially big start with the directional Michigans to follow.
