Maybe Rosiaks blogs are the best recap along with cracked sidewalks.

I was at the game and was surprised there was a pretty decent crowd there.  Studen section was depleted, but overall not as bad as I thought.

The team played well together once they settled in, defended ok except on the permimeter, and scored a ton in the paint.  They domintated the Blue Hose from about 7 minutes into the game on.  Lazar hit some nice long ones (great to see again), Butler was fearless going to the hole and got to the like, DJO smooth as slik - he should shoot more, Erik played some decent minutes, ahd a nice hook, but got lost a bit on defense; Acker and Cubby played well and Acker even had a lay-up.  Had a great play to finish the first half, with 2.5 seconds left.  Buzz called a T/O and Cubby inbounded the ball, as all but Butler rushed to center court, and Cubby threw an outstanding pass right to Butler who dribbled once and layed it in and got the foul, and the bonus.  Very nice play.

Mbao - still lost out there, but when he gets it will be nice for rebounds and blocks.  So far tho - nothing.  Fulce played well, had a couple of fabulous passes to Lazar under the rim, and got some good points, lay ins too.  Buckys got hot in the second half, and looked good.

Buzz towards the end was subbing 5 for 5, and said in the radio show after he told the team on the floor, you need to make two stops in a row or your out (the entire 5).  Looked weird but I guess he has a point.

The Blue Hose was not good and we let them score a lot from 3 point land.  We need to defend the permineter better.

Acker made some decent shots, but the guy shoots too much in my opinion.  Take the 2 rejections (counted by myself) and multiply that by... a lot?... and he'll be a liability during BEast play.  I like that he's fearless... but when he tries to shoot within 5 feet of the rim against a guy the size of Butler he's going to end up with the ball in the 5th row of seats every time.
