Down 13, not a problem. Chew some ars at half Scott.
We need to get it to six by the under eight timeout to have a realistic chance on the road.

We've got to get in a position to where "chipping away" in the latter stages actually gets you back in the game. We're not there right now.

This team could def go the way of the team that lost to georgia state or go to the elite 8. Would be cool if Walter could catch fire from here till his last college game. He's been a lunch pail gait save a few games. I expected More but am always dialing back the expectations of our 1 and dones

Didn't see that one coming.

There's still a lot of time left, though. We'll see how Duke closes the half.

Dickerson exits at 11:08 second half. Score was 21 - 40 Houston at end of first half. If Dickerson is their best player.

A 6-0 Tun changes everything (by us) and tech has foul trouble. Doubt that hurts them as we never seem to capitalize or the refs swallow whistles but would be good to win the first 4

That miss in the corner by Walter was brutal. If you're going to make a comeback on the road, those are the types of shots you have to hit. That thing was wide freaking open.

Exactly. Unfortunately, Walter is looking like Walter again from beyond the arc.

Really couldn't have asked for a better opportunity from tech to start 2nd half and Walter continues to brick lots of free throws

We make four straight stops to start the half and do nothing to the deficit.

A few possessions later and we're in the deepest hole we've been in all game.

It's just not going to happen for us today. We're not playing well enough on either end of the floor to even compete, much less win.

Likely correct. I've not given up
Hope yet. Just need a 6-8 oh run but we can't make layups or free throws even and nary a rebound to

Maybe we need to start getting the ball of love as much as possible. Four fouls on Isaacs.

I'm still watching and hoping. But I haven't seen anything to give me much faith yet.
