I find it hard to sit here and watch this team continue to give up second chance opportunities, its the reason we are down by three at halftime. Its so frustrating, they just don't have the size.

We have the lead for 19 minutes and then lose it.....sounds familiar doesn't it.

Dials 10 points, 7 rebounds
Foster 7 points, 2 steals
Butler 6 points
Sylvester 5 points
Sullinger 3 points
Harris 2 points
Twigs 1 point

4-11 from downtown. Ager has 16 of their 37. Its simple in the second half, feed the ball to Dials, get back on D and limit the second chance points. Easier said then done, I know.:biggrin:

another bad call... can someone explain why in this day and age they cannot use something other than a super tiny tv to review plays?

Is it that hard to build a slot into the desk to store an LCD monitor?
tv puts those monitors there not the university.

we need to box out and roate on offense at the shot.

you guys seem awful pessimistic. 20 mins of roundball more to play...

Dials is going to have a do a better job hedging the screens in the 2nd half. He cant pick up silly fouls 30 feet from the bucket. His effort of getting back to guard Davis is also lacking. I think the run had alot to do with Sullinger having 2 fouls. He was non-existent after picking up his 2nd.

We need to get the ball into Dials in the 2nd half, he needs to stay out of foul trouble. I'd like to see Lewis penetrate more, it opens up the outside. Sullinger needs to stay out of foul trouble also. I have been critical of Sylvester, but he is doing a decent job tonight. He still isnt boxing out or rebounding, but who is?

they are simply faster than us in transition and in attacking the paint. Transition is one thing, but the help defense is not happening.

...great look down low by Sylvester to Dials.

He has to keep getting the ball.

For once, I think I'm glad I can't see the game. That being said, down three at the half on the road to MSU isn't bad. Hopefully Coach Matta can get the boys fired up in the locker room for a 2nd half run.
