Great job closing out the half by Ashland to keep it tight. Ashland's staying close without anything from Cole Villers. His hot perimeter shooting hasn't carried over from Morehead to Lexington, at least not so far.

 

If he get hot from three like he did in Morehead then Ashland could pull this off. My brain tells me that Ashland will wear down in the second half and the Red Devil's will cruise to the win though.

 

Either way I couldn't be more proud of my Tomcats for what they have already accomplished this season. The future looks bright for the cats.

They've got to get him more involved and get him some good looks. He's only put up one shot so far.

 

Where's Ryan Bryant? I know he was suspended, but I thought he'd be eligible for this game.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bryant in the second half.

Than you, it's been a while!

Owensboro had its biggest lead of the night at 36-27, but Ashland's countered with back to back baskets, including a three from Villers.

 

It's now 36-32 Owensboro.

 

1:07 to go in the 3rd. Media timeout.

Ashland's closed within one, 36-35.

 

End of the 3rd quarter.

Got another good one going here.

36-35 Owensboro end of the 3rd qt.

This Ashland team certainly doesn't look like a squad that's one game over .500.

Ashland is playing well lead 41-40 with 5:42 to play.

Tomcats playing well the last few minutes.

43-40 Ashland with 5:41 to go. Owensboro timeout.
