CHICAGO -- This has been a fast paced game, but a little too fast. Both teams have been pretty sloppy with the ball, although exact turnover counts aren't available, by my count, it's about eight each. Kent State still leads, 16-15, as the teams have traded baskets since Illinois State went up, 7-6. We're already at the eight-minute timeout, and Osiris Eldridge is still looking for his first hoop.

I'm a radio sandwich. The Xavier radio crew will be sitting to my right tonight.
