Hard to believe we've let this bunch of scrubs keep it close. What are we, like 18% from 3pt range?
Mac is our weakest link and Bruce gives him most of the minutes are the 5. I don’t get it.
Yeah I am rankled but we played like ass and got a lead. Bryce and Jared not doing jack surely at least one of them will get it going in the 2nd.
We have to rebound better. Gotta go inside and make NMS squeeze the defense toward the paint and hopefully we can get some better looks. To do that we need Chuma and Wiley on the block. Wiley isn’t limping he looks healthy. Time to let him loose in the 2nd half.
Played well at times, looked sluggish, didn’t shoot particularly well (especially from 3). Need to get Harper and Brown going, and we need to adjust to the zone they’re running. Surprised we haven’t been able to penetrate more than we have. Maybe Harper’s foul trouble had something to do with that, but I think we should try to attack the rim more.
We got outrebounded 20-14 (6-3 OREB). That can’t happen in the second half. They’re not going to shoot that poorly again (or at least we can’t plan on that). Created 8 turnovers, which needs to be 10+ this next half.
As much as I love Jvon the O totally stalled when they went to the zone. Of course Bryce would typically shoot them right out of that trash but shouldn’t work in the 2nd with HT and Jared back out there.
no sugarcoating the last 5 minutes... we gave them hope, didn’t even make them earn it - just gave it to them
still not worried, Bryce and Jared hit some shots and we can stretch this one out to double digits in a blink, but we made it way harder on ourselves than it should be
this game is about us... they can’t win without a lot of help from us - even more help than we gave them that half
Win or win ima be sauced by the time this one over gents.
Just need to keep grinding. Crash the glass, move the ball, don’t give them easy looks offensively, close out hard around the 3-point line. If they’re going to beat us, make them do it from inside the 3-point line.
I need Ho for at least 10 in the 2nd. He’ll clear the glass all on his own. Defend the shit out of the paint force TOs. Preferably more like 15 with Austin getting the rest.
It’s all about us. They can’t get shots off against half our defensive groups. If we shoot 3-12 again from 3 it’ll be a 10 pt game. If we shoot our season percentage from 3 and don’t miss layups, we should win by 20.
Everything about our draw and TV slot is so disrespectful to the star of march madness Sir Charles.
I just had to mute it after the 2nd time the jackass color guy was arguing for a flagrant foul
he was already on thin ice contradicting himself about the style of game that was conducive to success for each team... the color guy seems decent, but this broadcast can’t be salvaged
how the fvck do you continually mess up something so simple?
Get Mac off the floor and we gonna put them to bed.
