100-68 over Milligan.
A win's a win. From the stat sheet, the bench shoot a lot better than the starters?

Now we know we could be successful in the NAIA. Wow! I'm suffering throw-back to my undergrad days more years ago than I'm ever gonna admit.

Thank R.Gilbert (73% shooting), C.Burgess (71% shooting), A.Scott (57% shooting), T.Toney (50%) and M.Obacha for that win. Obacha shot only 37%, but I'll give him props for 17 boards. He's off the hook. T.Baskin, our best eligible player started, but played only 3 minutes. What's up with that? Injury?

On the other hand, M.Neal shot 27%; T.Hamilton only 38%; M.Kobani 33%; and D.Clarke 25%. I'll give Hamilton props for shooting 42% from behind the arc.

Overall--we beat an NAIA team. Wow, again.

Gilbert scored at an incredible rate today (22 points in 25 minutes) and Obacha had almost a rebound a minute (17 in 21 minutes). Hamilton pumped in close to twenty for his third high scoring game in a row. It was a weird day statistically, including Baskin's three minutes of play. Must say even though it was against Milligan I was impressed with the final margin. Of course, we are still winless against D1 competition.

How bad is it for someone to start quoting stats and touting players performances in a win over a NAIA team.

That Obacha rebounding reminds me of the stats Tony Searcy used to put up.

ASU beating Milligan in basketball is like ASU Football beating

MALLARD CREEK HIGH SCHOOL

I guess that's what it has come to. Did you think we could beat anybody by 32 points?

Still, you have to be impressed with Gilbert's performance regardless of the opposition considering how little he plays otherwise.

The NAIA played a good brand of basketball in the 60's. I am sure some of us are old enough to remember those WSSU and High Point College teams of the day,
Sadly it, nor we are the same. But a win is a win and some of the performances at least statistically were very impressive.
Still I'll take it as a positive lead in to the break. Just wonder why it was listed as an exhibition on Milligan's schedule. Doesn't it count?

I believe it counts for App but not for them. This allows DII and NAIA teams to play some DI competition without hurting their record.
