The Birds look terrible so far ... Belmont up 13 in 8 left in the first half. Better crowd than I expected even as the snow falls down here ...

The Birds look terrible so far ... Belmont up 13 in 8 left in the first half. Better crowd than I expected even as the snow falls down here ...

attendance extremely sparse... nice student turnout - they allow them courtside seats at midcourt, but looks like only 100 fans
...during the timeout, the Belmont student sank the halfcourt shot & won a full semester free tuition.

FWIW, Belmont's student section is always center court, that's not any different than usual.

Belmont kinda dominated much of the game.
ISU gets very little off the bench. Belmont got 31 off their bench including 16 from Eoin Dillon
who hit 7 of his first 8 shots and all of his first 4 3-pointers.
ISU starting guards Kinzinger, Skunberg & Coleman combined for just 9-32 but 7 TO

Drake beats Indiana State 76-62, Jalen Quinn 27 pts
