All right, good evening, Big Blue Nation.

Ryan Lemon in for Matt Jones tonight on the local Toyota dealers KSR post game show.

Man, what a difference of three days make, right?

You know, this time on Tuesday night, Big Blue Nation was in a panic, full-blown hysteria

after they just got whooped and flat out spanked by Michigan State.

Can't forget that game, but it was kind of nice to watch the game tonight and kind of enjoy, not be stressed out, not be anxious as they whipped up on Loyola 88 to 46, and it was never close.

The game in the score is actually not what's important, I think, about what happened tonight.

To me, when it was important to what happened to a couple guys, Pope changed the starting lineup.

Diabate out with a sprained ankle, so he puts Cam Williams at the four, and he makes the move that a lot of Big Blue Nation have been talking about.

He put in Malachi Marino instead of Brandon Garrison.

And man, from the opening tip, there was just more energy.

Just that little breath of fresh air of mixing up the starting lineup, I think, worked.

The guys just came out and seemed, because, you know,

the worst thing you can do when you have a bad loss like you did on Tuesday is you come out and you get let one loss turn into two.

Why don't think they would lose tonight?

But there was that outside possibility that could come out a little flat, maybe not into the game, maybe slacking off a little bit and just going through the motions because it was Loyola

Maryland but they didn't and I think that's because the starting lineup change it came out

and the energy was there the effort was there and from the very beginning it looked like a different

basketball team Otega Oway scores six straight points to start the game.

Going hard to the basket.

I mean, it was obvious from the outset.

They had talked to him and told him, look, you just need to get back to what Otega O'A is good at.
