[Markburn1]

Where’s Ballo?

[gueastcoast]

Is Tils warming up?

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

Oh man, I missed it. Why is Tillie out?

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

I mean I know is ankle. but is this a re-aggravation?

[Radbooks]

Oh man, I missed it. Why is Tillie out?

His ankle flared up - whatever that means!

[kitzbuel]

Pepp is hyped. Racking up a couple early fouls.

[gueastcoast]

Any reason ESPN not showing score/time on the screen? Weird

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

Is it the camera angle or our spacing? Something seems off in our half court O right now.

[spike_jr]

Petro has got to make those shots from point blank

It’s there now. Maybe a technical glitch?

[gueastcoast]

It’s there now. Maybe a technical glitch?

Yeah it came back...someone asleep in Connecticut I guess

[spike_jr]

That’s a tough call against the Waves

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

Huh, don't know if I agree with that call. Bad break for Pepp there.

[Kong-Kool-Aid]

Wasn't Pepperdine supposed to be getting a fancy new BBall arena? Is that still a thing?

Had the same thought. Don't love the volleyball lines all over a basketball court. I wish every court looked like Cameron Indoor -- clean

I believe that plan never got off the ground.
