We had good ball movement tonight. Let's keep that up gentlemen. Alston did not try to carry the team on his back and it turned out to be the right approach. If I had my count correct Drew played 11 guys the first half. He was not out coached. Outside of a few minutes in the 2nd half, we were pretty much able to maintain the lead we had at half time. JQ is showing more poise. Watson again showed why he was a good recruit. We do need to work on our free throws. I think 2 Ramblers missed both free throws tonight. Dame needs to watch his dribble turnovers. Overall, a good win, especially after Harvard beat us last year. Or with those ugly turnovers, maybe we beat ourselves?

Looks like things might be coming together. In the last two weeks, we’ve seen tighter rotations, better dispersal of minutes to the right guys (still forgetting Sheldon lol), better attention to detail….. and for the first time in the Drew era guys are finding and evolving into their actual roles ?

Ball movement and spacing looked excellent. Defense was quality.

If we play like today, the BC game, and like the first 20 minutes of Creighton, I see no reason why we don’t run the table into Jan 1st and end the non-conf segment of the season at 10-3. Did you think this was possible? I did not. But looks like it actually can be! That should be the goal, and finding the momentum into A10 szn. And we should be very pleased if it can happen. Gotta get thru some of these upcoming trap games with the lesser-tier opponents and prepare hard, 1 game at a time.

If yer not at Bruno’s afterwards, TalkinBlers Twitter spaces is where to be for postgame. Dave puts on a great little show with lots of guest and listener participation.

Great win, great crowd. That might be the best game we can play, but it's pretty strong.

There was a real, honest to god sandwich at the concessions stands! Anybody try it? The northeast stand had them, but there was no sign saying what they were. The other stand said they were from Firehouse Grill in Evanston, I think?

Yep a new sponsor of ours. The chicken wings a few weeks ago were also from them. They also run Candelite which is about 3 miles north of Gentile, and the pizza is tremendous.

The concessions have definitely been moving faster with the new setup which is great... The soft pretzel is got awful though! There's no salt and no taste to it... Definitely save your money if they don't that ship turned around!

But beers are now $11

Gotta pay for my salary.

Well I've been doing my part lol. Any insight on if there is TV for the game tomorrow? I'm guessing no at this point -- some weird contract issue or something?
