We knew St John's would eventually start hitting some shots. Just can't give them easy ones in transition because they know how to finish those.

Definitely would have taken this Halftime score coming in. Now, it should be 15+ with how it was looking at the 10 minute mark, but let's step on their throats early in the 2nd Half. First 5 minutes are huge to assert ourselves.

Watch the Refs start the second half with a lot of fouls called. Trying to prevent any fighting between the teams.

Probably see a 2nd half similar to the last 5 of the first half. Thinking we come out with a 8-12 point win. Will help getting Lipsey back out there.

Pretty sure TJ told the whole team to walk away, during the last time out because of a technical.

Good first half the Cyclones. Their defensive pressure is dictating the tempo and flow of the game. Would have liked to keep the 17 point lead, but StJ's isn't going to shoot only 19% for the whole game. Gabe with four fouls could be problematic in the 2nd half, though.

If we win the first 5 minutes of the second half, we win the game. If we don't win the first 5 minutes, it can get away from us.

TJ has done a great job of having us come out of the locker room focused, so I have no doubt we'll give great effort.

And Gabe is going to miss a good chunk of the second half because of the call, if he's really at 4 now.
Box score is showing him with 4, so if that’s right, I’d expect him to sit for quite a while to start the second half. Problem is that Lipsey and Grill also have two fouls each.

I would be shocked if the entire game isn’t called really close the rest of the way. The refs don’t want things to get out of control.
