Poor start to this one. Taking too many quick shots, missing layups and giving the Spartans second chance points. Tons of time though.

32-25 UNCG, 3:32 til halftime

Signed up for GoASUTV tonight for four months. I may not get a good ROI until baseball season.

Not time to throw in the towel on this one just yet, however, seems the team from December has returned. History of ASU bball...just when things look promising there is U-turn. It is so easy to lose confidence with these guys. Let's hope they can find the magic from Saturday.

Hap you are right this is classic App basketball. The first sign of hope we have turned the corner we lay an egg. Still 20 minutes left and only down 7 but must do the little things right. We seem lazy tonight.

Unbelievable. Gave up 39 effing points in the first half to a team that is struggling offensively. That last defensive lapse sums up how this first half has gone.

Frustrating, to say the least. I see a flash of good play followed by two flashes of meh.

Very frustrating to cut it to 5 right before half and hand them 2 right back.

Still, we are lucky to only be down 7 after playing so poorly and there is plenty of time. Play a strong second half and we'll be fine.

Good start to the second half. We have to get them into an up and down game.

Coach must have lit a fire under their butts during half time. Playing much better now with 6 point lead. UNCG has not scored yet in 2nd half.

Intentional foul called on Trice... off the ball. Never seen that called before. Getting chippy out there.

Baskin might be my favorite player. Poor man's Marshall Phillips, my all-time favorite App.

Double foul. Wow. It's either a block or a charge or a play on. Good grief.

Around 1,200 fans in attendance to watch three officials blow the whistle tonight.

The refs sure are getting a lot of practice on blowing tonight.

Georgia Southern handled Davidson tonight, 70-57. Very surprising. Conference is absolutely wide open.
