Good first half by the defense and Odum on the offensive end.

Up 8 at the break.

What was the story on Nate?, I missed the game on TV. 5 minutes and 3 fouls and didn't start? Seven man team?! Lucky to be playing ISU and lucky to can 14 3's.

Nate didn't play much because he doesn't play very good defense and doesn't rebound well for a 6-10 center. Thomas has earn the starting spot for now.

Geving was quick to pull Nate in the Northern Colorado game as well after he a) couldn't establish position on the offensive end that resulted in low opportunity for scoring or rebounding and b) his foot speed was so slow that a guy went right by him for a bucket.

I suspect that we're now in conference play, Geving will have a short lease with him until his play changes on both ends of the court.
