Northern Michigan @ Green Bay 1:00, Kress Center
What hopes to be a season to remember tips off this afternoon. Look for the Phoenix to run, dunk often, and win big. Should be lots of playing time for everyone.

I'll try to listen to some on the radio. If it had been at the Resch I would have gone but Grandaughter has a tournament near Bay Park Square at 3 PM so logistics won't work with the Kress.

Women's game drew 2,171. Men's game drew 1,663 with $5 tickets. Embarrassing.

GBMBB has sold 10,000 tickets for their next game at prices triple what the women's team gets. No need to compare the 2, they're completely different entities. Ticket sales for MBB have been extremely strong for the scheduled season. Embarrassing is that the HBC cancelled their tournament and shafted the team that agreed to play in it.

Agreed, was just going to comment on that. Attendance for today's game is irrelevant, it's all about next week being sold out.

This is the Press Gazette article on the game. www.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20131109/GPG020101/311090290/College-basketball-Garrett-shines-UWGB-tops-Northern-Michigan-openerI did see about 1/2 of the 2nd half online. It was nice to see GB prosper when they had KS and AB sitting. It looks like they have more scorers than last year and the depth is 10 deep. If they want to give Wis. a run they need to do a better job of FT's. If people know from last year FT's are my biggest complaint. To me a lot of games are won if you make 80-85% and a lot lost when you only hit 50% I know coach BW will be on them but the players also have to see the importance to the overalll game that FT's are. Dunks are exciting and fun to watch but games are won on fundementals, TO's, FT's, and Boards. Not always the most exciting part but very necessary.

A little bit of a rough start but their athletic ability eventually took over. Great game for Vince, keep making those 3 pointers! It was good to win with Alec and Keifer struggling to make shots from the outside. I agree the ft shooting as a team was pathetic and unacceptable. Just as bad was the transition defense in the first half, no way NMU should be able to run on GB like that.
