Leatherneck Nation

Watching from long distance once again today. 

 

Hmm.  We look out of rhythm on the O end and getting beat in the paint at the other end.
If I did not know better, I would think Coach Mo is on the bench with the low score at the half.

Are any games going to be on ESPN+ this year??

The stream on the website is not up to D1 standard, the score bug is behind and the audio is bad.

We tightened things up in the 2nd half, good enough to win today.  Our bench was scoreless and we will need some help from them come later on in the week.

I agree, the stream also needs some attention.  The game is hard to follow.  I gave up on the audio and listened to the radio stream.  
 

Western wins 60-56.

All 5 Western starters finished in double-figures.

Trenton Massner led the Western scoring with 18 points.  Alec Rosner had 12 points.  Jesiah West had a double-double:  10 points and 13 rebounds.  Vuk Stevanik and Quinlan Bennett each had 10 points.  

Western out-rebounded Saint Thomas  35-26.

Attendance at Western Hall = 727

Next game will be at Western Hall on Monday (Jan 23) vs North Dakota.  Game time is 6:00 PM.

Take away the easy buckets given up and I doubt they score more than 30. Hopefully they can figure som3 defensive shifts that seem to work more consistently. At this point, doubt anything else will really change. Just need Massner to start hitting shots again. Every win is always good, but this defense is getting shredded night in and out.
