Up 33-28 under 8 minutes. Two threes by Sanders really helps. We keep the lead and allow 3 starters to rest. Must close out on these Butler threes.

Wow Sanders shot form and stroke looks pretty damn good.
I like our demeanor offensively. We seem to be in rythem taking good shots. Have to defend better and not fall in love with the three.
Up 38-34 under 4 minutes. Playing at a very high level. Bench already produced 8 points. Richmond just needs to pick up his focus one notch on offense to finish these scoring attempts.
Really great play on the road. Do we still have zero turnovers? We did when I stopped away briefly to make coffee
Dylan Addae-Wusu is just phenomenal when he's on. Dawes, too. And everyone is "on" today. This is going great!
Yes. Healing. Thanks for asking.
i think sha was thinking the same thing calling that timeout right after butler. enormous stop. i actually think bediako has been decent today. going in up 8 is massive. take that 100% of the time.
did not see this game being a shootout.
Glad to hear Tom. Continued healing and good health.
Super impressive first half on the road. Team has never looked more composed. What a turnaround ball security wise from the last two games
Up 45-37 at the half. Excellent offense in that half. Can't ask for more across the board. One thing they did do was to take some of the juice out of the crowd and that was going to be challenging. Now they have to elevate their defense a tad.
Adjustments will be made, interested to see how this plays out. They can pack it in on K Rich but I dont think they have a physical type player that can guard him, maybe Posh ?
Bediako picked it up on both ends the last five minutes. Excellent contribution from the bench.
Very workman like half. D is improving and patient offensively except for one shot. Gotta beat them again in the second half. It’s there for the taking.

Doubt we can keep the 3pt accuracy so don't stay in love with it. Work for good shots.
I want some of whatever they had for breakfast. The offensive pace first half tough to sustain...... looking for a more typical SHU 2nd half. My prediction of game in 60's is not looking good.
Before that play I started to type that I was happy to see Dawes leaning into his midrange game after some early misses from 3.. I deleted it immediately after witnessing that sequence
Probably our best offensive half all year. I think we have to be ready for Matta to try and press us and force turnovers because they're not stopping us right now in the half court. 39 turnovers in 2 games and only 1 this half. Very good job by our guys.
