Taylor feeding Fischer in the post, the pair really seem to be playing well together.

[IWB]

Duane Wilson's bonus free throw at 3:56 was MU's first free throw attempt of the game. Odd.

echo........

[DCwarrior]

While MU looks good, Alabama A&M is really, really bad. If they finish the year in the top 300 RPI, I'd be shocked.

[DCwarrior]

I guarantee I'm the only person in the DC area switching back and forth to watch the MU game and the annual UW-Whitewater vs. Mount Union DIII National Championship game

[IWB]

You are correct sir. They look as if they have no idea what they are supposed to be doing.....same as their coach.

Halftime....

MU up on rebounds 16-15
MU has 12 assists on 17 made shots.
MU only 3 turnovers in first half.
MU only 5 fouls in first half.

For Those other than DC Warrior, early in the 4th quarter UW-Whitewater 40, Mt Union 31.

[DCwarrior]

This is like a scrimmage against the JV team.

[DCwarrior]

Steve Taylor looks good tonight. Nice to see he and Luke playing together.

[IWB]

Steve Taylor needed a confidence boosting game and he got it. See the excitement in his face - great to see.

[IWB]

At the 10:44 mark.....

MU is up on the boards 24-17.
19 assists on 25 made shots.
Shooting 64.1% from the field.

Looks like Luke's first game wasn't a fluke.

[IWB]

Luke is a smart player. Comment that Broeker just made to me was that it is hard to get big men to play "vertically" on defense, and Luke does it and does it very well.

At the 3:32 mark.....

And Whitewater defends its championship.

Did Lance Leipold coach the game?

Looked like there were plenty of open seats... Also man dickey Simpkins is REALLY hard to listen to.

[mufansince72]

I couldn't go, but I got an email from MU offering me lower level seats for 10 bucks tonight.

[IWB]

I believe the last minute $10 seats were Alabama A&M's. They reserved the usual amount for the visiting team, and they had like 4 people. There were empty seats in the corners of the upper deck, but the lower was full except for the section behind the visitor bench which was a gaping hole.
