IUPUI (3-7) at Ohio (10-1)
Should be an easy win to get us into conference play on a good note. They're rated 68 OVR (68 off/70 def/68 sht/78 reb).
Scouting
They have 3 straters rated 60 or below.
Starting PF is Trace Walker, a 6'9” senior, average on the boads, average/below average in the post, 84 close/86 in traffic, so he has some potential to score. Averaging 7.6 ppg/6.6 rpg.
Starting C is Allen hopes, 6'11” senior. Poor rebounder, good post offense, very poor psot defense(66). 86 close/89 In traffic, and 78 block which is pretty solid(B level rating for a PF, Allen's natural position). 15.1 ppg.
Their backcourt is bad. No one available rated over 60, no defenders rated over 80, no 3 point shooters rated over 70, really nothing that scares me at all.

| Our offense is struggling way more than it should, we just got Cooper going a bit though, he has our last 4 points in the last 90 seconds or so. Mendoza in for Murphy.

| Backups are scoring quite nicely, we just gave up a lucky 3 at the end of the shot clock but meh. Lamkin has 9 and is doing really well for us.

| We've built up a solid 15 point lead and things are looking good.
Lamkin is 5-5, 2-2 from 3 and has 12 points in 7 minutes. Mendoza has 6 off the bench. Delic and Murphy has 6, the most of any starters. Cooper is cold and House not terribly involved. I've been actively trying to get Delic more involved, but he's just 2-5 from the floor so far.

| House with a monster reverse jam, forcing a IUPUI timeout. But its been all about Delic so far this half. He's 3-4 and is up to 12 total points on the game, 6 already in the half. Mendoza is coming in for Murphy.

I take a 60-35 lead with about 13:30 to go and quick sim from there.
