I am confident about what Drew & our guys can do in the second half.

Bridges & Cryer with the hot hands - keep feeding them in the second half

Yep
But I don't mind. The start doesn't matter as much as the finish
As long as he finds it in the second half, it's not a big deal. But that doesn't always happen. And his first-half struggles can help keep teams in games.


You're right. We should be ahead by at least two scores. I think we can be better in the second half.

Only two turnovers that first half. A 7-2 advantage there was big.

That's something we've gotten much better at over the course of the season. 3 of the last 4 games (Ark, KU and Tech) we finished with single figure TOs and the fourth (OU) we only had 11.

Flo got called for a foul being "in the cylinder" 2 games ago

Why want that a ut foul???

Can't turn the ball over. It gets you all out of sorts defensively. We had some terrible matchups that possession and they end up with an unguarded 3.

They had great opportunities to start the half & blew it.

Rough start to the half. Better figure some things out quickly.

Flo playing soft. Amazed at how much he struggles under the basket on either side of the court

no energy. no purpose.

Did we completely forget how to box out on defensive rebounds??
DanaDane

Flagler's smarter than that. You can't take the mid-range, guarded jumper when none of your other 4 guys are near the basket.

We have to stay close so that Keyonte's late second half scoring barrage gets us a two score lead with 1:30 left. That's who we are.

Nice of Texas to turn the ball over again

Is Thamba simply not coachable or physically unable to do what a post should do?

Is there a friggin' lid on our basket? Sheesh. 3 of those almost went in.
