I think Oregon has a size advantage we have not seen this year.

Right. But they'll be in the bonus on or before the 8 minute mark in 2nd half. That should make up for the % drop.

Bears went 9/14 from three and still trail by 4 at the half.

Nope. I did for about a year-plus, then took everyone off ignore. Clearly was a mistake.

Pretty good way to end the half (big picture, not last possession). But still down by 4.

We are often very good in the 2nd half. Hoping they will be their best the rest of this game.
CSD has been great with half time adjustments during this 3 year run so hope he works his magic again
It was odd for him to have Bonner out there for the final 3 minutes of the 1st half. He never brought Brown back and he sat Akinjo for those final 3, which makes me wonder if Drew was protecting against foul trouble for key guys so we can full court press or play much tighter pressure D in the 2nd half.

Our good looks came off dribble penetration.

I'd be interested to see a three guard lineup (Akinjo, Cryer, Flagler) and if that can get the duck d off balance and create better lanes.

Where's Kendal Brown?
he had 2 fouls so I guess CSD did not want him to get a 3rd

Dang, did he even take a shot? Don't remember him even being in the game.

He scored the first two of the game with a dunk off the opening tip

Brown had 2 fouls but Akinjo only 1. Maybe Akinjo was just tired and needed a break.

Brown picked up Foul 1 at the 18:17 mark and Foul 2 at the 13:25 mark, then basically sat the rest of the half.

Michigan St. is also roughly the same size as Oregon. Michigan St. guards were actually much taller.

Flo is too close to their big. Give him space so he can't feel you with his body.

So Cryer gets his arm grabbed, no foul. JTT throws a moving screen (which is a foul), gets called.

Really dumb shot by Akinjo there. It was a two on one - take it to the rim.

Was 2 on 1 and he takes an off-balance 3. Why?
