Ball State In-Game Thread
By JohnnyHello everybody, Johnny here. Tip-off is set for about 30 minutes from now, and all the pregame hype has been about Ronny Thompson and things not too relevant to the game tonight. Hopefully the boys in blue will make the headlines tomorrow read about the #5 Hoyas going 3-0.
As usual, keep your in game thoughts right here.
November 21st, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Come on Hoyas, let’s get that first road win!
November 21st, 2007 at 7:03 pm
Here are your lineups:
GU: Wallace, Sapp, Summers, Ewing, Jr., and Hibbert
BSU: Perry, Stovall, Frazier, Goins, Giles
November 21st, 2007 at 7:07 pm
Alright Hoyas, let’s start like we did against Michigan, and play some reserves
November 21st, 2007 at 7:08 pm
Hoyas get the tip and Wallace starts with a 3
November 21st, 2007 at 7:09 pm
After a defensive stop, travel on Summers
November 21st, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Darnit! I’m already behind in the predictions! I hope Summers makes the next one.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:09 pm
Hmm, not exactly a 3, is it?
November 21st, 2007 at 7:10 pm
2 for Perry - 3-2 Hoyas - but another turnover for GU
November 21st, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Well, there goes that 12-0 start I was hoping for.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:11 pm
Goaltending on Hibbert, Hoyas are losing 4-3. That’s the first time the Hoyas have trailed on the road.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:12 pm
It’s also the first game on the road.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Turnover on Ball State, not a pretty start for either team.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:13 pm
Definitely not the start I was hoping for. 2-6 is not as impressive as what we put up against Mich
November 21st, 2007 at 7:16 pm
There’s Hibbert’s first bucket, and Rivers is in - first sub for the 3rd straight
November 21st, 2007 at 7:18 pm
Buzzer beater for Sapp for 3
November 21st, 2007 at 7:18 pm
Nice DaJuan!1
November 21st, 2007 at 7:19 pm
Stovall has 7 of their 9 and according to Chvots has reached BSU’s 1000-point club
November 21st, 2007 at 7:21 pm
Espn’s game trackers a pain…Hibbert didn’t make a 3 did he?
November 21st, 2007 at 7:22 pm
Freeman for 3 - Hoyas lead 20-11
November 21st, 2007 at 7:26 pm
Come on Vern.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Macklin goes 0-2 from the line. Not too much better than last year.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:27 pm
25-11 for the Hoyas - BSU uses their 2nd Timeout
November 21st, 2007 at 7:30 pm
And now 25-14 at the 8 minute timeout
November 21st, 2007 at 7:30 pm
5 threes, well on the way to 10!
November 21st, 2007 at 7:31 pm
Yeah, at this rate, we all may be well under in this week’s pregame predictions.
5 threes with 7:34 to go in the first half!
November 21st, 2007 at 7:33 pm
i’ll gladly lose the predictions if we get the w
November 21st, 2007 at 7:35 pm
roy with the made two point dunk shot! i love it
November 21st, 2007 at 7:36 pm
Sounds like the Hoyas have settled down a bit. Only four turnovers after those two quick ones.
November 21st, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Goaltending on Summers - 29-16
November 21st, 2007 at 7:41 pm
Nice D hoyas!
November 21st, 2007 at 7:45 pm
Stovall misses 2 free throws, and the half ends 31-18
November 21st, 2007 at 7:45 pm
This isn’t helping Wallace’s numbers: 1-4 from downtown
November 21st, 2007 at 8:02 pm
Sapp gets a quick bucket in transition to start the 2nd
November 21st, 2007 at 8:03 pm
Nice going Roy - his numbers aren’t hurting
November 21st, 2007 at 8:05 pm
Hibbert scores and gets fouled and the crowd doesn’t like it.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:06 pm
We seem to be turning it over a lot this half.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:09 pm
Come on Hoyas, let’s finish this game.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:09 pm
Thompson needs a timeout, with the Hoyas up 40-26
November 21st, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Way to go Pat!
November 21st, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Another turnover for the Hoyas; that makes it 10 for the night.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:17 pm
Another timeout - first was Thompson’s which was extended since it was the first of the half, then the 16 minute timeout which came pretty late, and now’s the 12 minute.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Ball State has cut it to 10: 42-32
November 21st, 2007 at 8:21 pm
Come on Hoyas, let’s go!
November 21st, 2007 at 8:22 pm
step it up, Hoyas
November 21st, 2007 at 8:24 pm
Wallace can’t buy a three
November 21st, 2007 at 8:26 pm
Hoyas are only shooting 29% (6-21) from downtown.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Crowd’s really getting into it as the game is getting closer in score and closer to finish.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Come on Hoyas. 10 points is making me nervous.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:31 pm
hoyas are being outscored in the second half.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Foul on Hibbert - Perry to shoot 2.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:32 pm
Timeout and Hoyas’ lead is 8: 49-41 with 5 minutes left
November 21st, 2007 at 8:33 pm
I don’t want to see another ODU, Hoyas. Listening to Chvotkin and feeling helpless is awful familiar.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:35 pm
lets go back to the 2-point game and control the clock.for GODS sake make some free throws.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Another 2 misses from the line. Looks like the Hoyas aren’t listening to you buddy
November 21st, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Nice D Jeremiah!
November 21st, 2007 at 8:40 pm
BSU going to the line shooting 1-1 down 8.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:41 pm
51-45 with under 2 minutes left.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:41 pm
COME ON HOYAS!!!
November 21st, 2007 at 8:42 pm
I can’t take this.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Steal by Rivers with under a minute.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Good, Rivers! Whew.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Sapp misses 3, but Ewing grabs rebound. BSU’s gonna have to foul
November 21st, 2007 at 8:44 pm
“Circle the wagons” - that’s a new one.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:44 pm
Too close for me. Whoa.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:45 pm
4-11 from the line?
November 21st, 2007 at 8:45 pm
Looks like the Hoyas are gonna pull this one out, but Ball State sure made it interesting there.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Goins’ 3 makes it 54-48 with :13.6 to go.
November 21st, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Rivers goes 1 for 2 from the line: 55-48
November 21st, 2007 at 8:50 pm
Hoyas win 57-48 - now they can take a week off, eat turkey, and prepare for ODU.
