**WSU vs. Evansville Official Game Thread**

Working and can't watch, but I presume Cotton is guarding Ballentine. I am therefore confused as to why Ballentine has 13 points. Are they running him off their usual five screens?

Edit: someone may have partially answered the question above, but can't tell.

Balentine has three three's from a foot or two behind the NBA line. That's most of it. He also had an incredible jumper with Cotton pretty much kissing him on the forehead. He's not getting easy shots.

Did FVV just do a head-stand to celebrate that layup?

Ballentine is hitting closely guarded shots and working hard for every look. I expect him to hit a wall at some point. His legs have to be tired. Tired legs = missed shots.

[Bluzrover]

Wessel can't guard Balentine.

I disagree. He's not Cotton-good but I think Evan plays very solid D.

[Rosewood]

So Early has a little run as if to say "this is why I was pre season poy"
And then Fred says "no look pass, steal, and one - this is why I am poy"
I hope they continue to have this imaginary argument like this.

This might have been talked about somewhere else, but how is the #2 team in the country not on an ESPN channel at 1pm EST? They have four channels at least they could put us on and no competition?

Have they maxed out their TV contract with the Valley already this year?

I completely trust Evan. He may foul more but he plays hard nose d.

Regional like their stuff had always been.

I just meant against DJB he backs off too much because he's afraid of the dribble drive. Balentine can get to the line a lot on the drive.
