Three of those 2nd half turnovers are the type that should never happen at this level. A 5 sec call and two perimeter passes thrown away. We can't do that.

How can a team that runs mostly zone d turn the ball over so much when someone is running zone against us?

Make your freaking free throws.

Al and Ish on the bench.

Jo hits 1/2, 48-40

Ole Miss hits a tough bucket, sheesh

Has Acuil forgotten how to defend the paint? So many people have scored layups against him over the past few weeks.

Jake hits a rainbow floater, tough shot! 50-42 15:00

Why is Lindsey the only person who knows how to break down the zone? We need all our guards to have that mentality.

This game feels like the kind of tournament game that will take us out early. Lesser team is all jazzed up, coming right at us. Mot gets in early trouble. We start turning the ball over but someone makes ourselves feel better because we have a pattern of winning the second half. Not sure that is going to work in the Big Dance. NOT AT ALL. Lots to fix or another early exit.

dude we are 19-1, give me a break.

also, NCAA tournament games are not played on the road.

These refs are suspect. He rolled right in to Acuil and ran him over but of course it's a foul on us.

Has anyone seen these refs before? I don't recognize any of them.

Jake misses a tough 3 as clock winds down, Manu taps it out and then Jake with a GREAT drive and score, wow. 52-44

off foul on Ole Miss. 13:51 mark, that is 3 on Saiz

Freeman is not the answer at the 2! The way we turn it over I would rather see Lindsay at the 2 and gain a ball handler.

So funny how a couple quick possessions can just totally shift the momentum. Down 8. Then a few seconds later down 2.

Announcers made a mistake, Lindsey was no where near the play. Maybe it was on Nuni.

Acuil has his forearm grabbed and still made the layup. Nice penetration and pass by King but should have been an AND 1.

Huge 3 by KING. Time to take advantage of their big guy on the bench.

This team is amazing how they don't panic. Much better ball movement.

smart timeout by Manu as King was trapped. 11:35, 54-52 Ole Miss

Huge turnover, but HATE to burn that timeout.
