44-30 Coogs at the half. Some sloppy play, some good defense and the Coogs finally woke up. Van Beck, Both Davises and White look good. Galen’s taken 2 charges.
Brady may be in the doghouse though. Didn’t get a lot of playing time and they brought in Sangoyomi at the end of the half.
Almost creepy good. IW is looking like a pickup team for the last 7 minutes or so. They can’t score, coogs stealing balls left and right, blocking shots, lots of fast break points.
