You can't just stand there and celebrate, they'll blow by you.
still feels a little unbalanced on the two ends. That last call was good.
That bodes well for the second half
Walton is looking like a true floor general right now
Donnal was calling a timeout right to the ref?!?!?
makes such a huge difference.
Yep. So many put back points.
OkSU is REALLY good at it, to be fair.
need him every second of this game
I'd like to see Walton drive more and put pressure on them in the paint. It will free up the perimeter they've been hugging.
It didn't help Illinois.
did it help Purdue.
owned the big fella there.
recognized a big slow dude on him and took advantage
miss Walton next year.
No need for the headlock either
I'll take a lead at half.
hit the broad side of a barn for most of that half. We're in good shape
Not nearly our best half and we're still up 1 with basically no Wagner.
Well we played a poor half and still take a lead to halftime.
I like where were at in this game.
Weathering the early OK St storm coming back and grabbing nthe lead at halftiime..
WE ARE IN IT!
Up 1 with bad shooting and Wagner on the bench. I like our odds.
We need at least some token defense in the paint or it won't be enough.
From what I read on umhoops and mgoblog previews, I would rather we give up points in the paint than points behind the arc. had we made 3-4 more of our 3 pointers and we'd be pretty happy right now.
Hoprfully the zebras allow Wagner to actually play in the second half
That was the most unconvincing 41 points I've ever seen us score. It feels like we only have 21.
The D is going to have to step up in the 2nd half. Otherwise this game is 50/50 at best.
I'm not even sure how we're ahead, but I assume the scorekeepers added correctly.
Very entertaining half-- and basically without Wagner. Going to be a seesaw 2nd for sure.
Cold start, quick whistles.
Gave up way too many easy baskets, but at least that kept us out of disastrous foul trouble.
Let's come out smoking in the second half!
Just need to react a bit quicker to the penetration defensively, and execute a little better offensively. Starting to shake off the sluggishness the last few minutes. Hopefully Wagner can stay on the floor in the second half.
We got this. Right?
We played way worse than we have in a while and we're leading. Should be OK.
We got this shit easy boi
