Virginia takes the air out of the basketball in an attempt to upset us in our own gym, and for 20 minutes, it works very well. The Cavaliers are ahead, 33-22, and we're scrambling to find some footing in the game.

The Hoos do a very good job of denying Asher Wise, who only takes 5 shots in 35 minutes of playing time. Fortunately, they leave Lowell Welter room to operate, and he scores 19, adding 12 rebounds to complete the double-double. Reed Weisberg adds 14 and Blake Norton 10.

We switch up the starters a bit. Kris DeMello and Justice Stafford replace Clemens Schwaiger and Blake Norton in the starting five. Norton, in particular, responds well to the change.
Record: 5-0.

It takes us a while to get going against the Blue Jays, but once we do, we don't look back. We commit only 5 turnovers and hand out 21 assists.

Much of our scoring comes from the wings today. Asher Wise finishes with 16 points, but he needs 18 shots to score them. Wise also finds teammates for 6 assists. Creighton has no answer for Reed Weisberg, though. The freshman knocks down 6 treys in 10 attempts and finishes with 23 points. Through six tames, Reed's our leading scorer, averaging 15 per game

Sixth man Tony Ezell contributes 16 more, and reserve Ernest Adcock finishes with 10 in 8 minutes of playing time. Lowell Welter scores 7 and captures 7 rebounds.
Record: 6-0.

Big Five games are always challenging. The Explorers invade the Pavilion and stake a strong claim in the first half, leading 42-32 at the break. We can't make a shot, and the visitors can't seem to miss. Asher Wise, in particular, can't find the range.

The balance of the game tilts our way during the second half. We still can't stop Rufus Hughes, who sears us for 31 points. But Reed Weisberg starts to find his rhythm, too. For the second straight game, Reed goes 6-for-10 from distance and finishes with 23 points. Tony Ezell does his usual damage from the post, finishing with 16. Lowell Welter scores 13, and Wise finishes with 10.

Justice Stafford keeps the shooters happy, finishing with a career-high 10 assists.

I like the way we balance our scoring. Four Wildcats average between 12 and 16 points per game, and a fifth comes in at just under 10.

Code:

Reed Weisberg     16.1
Tony Ezell        13.4
Asher Wise        13.1
Lowell Welter     12.3
Justice Stafford   8.7

Record: 7-0.
