We don't really have an alpha type scorer. We're best when Lipsey is getting ball to variety of players in good spots.
Thought Holmes showed signs early but nope.

If grill makes another stupid behind the back pass into 2 defenders while in the air, sit his arse. He got cold and started getting really sloppy.

Grill is like Magic Johnson, but without the ball skills, savvy, charisma and aids.

One positive from that half: Caleb had stopped thinking and just plays now and it’s been that way for quite a few games now.

Focus goes to hell when we start to give up a good lead. Probably better off playing in a close one anyway.

As good as Rob Jones was early in the year, he's been bad lately. He'll snap out of it, but I'm not sure what he brings you right now.
Can’t understand why he can’t make layups

We’re 4-8 (50%) from 3.
From 2, we’re only 7-18 (38%)

Trying to find positives. If you told me we’d be tied at half earlier today I would have taken it.

But we have to stop being timid and making stupid passes and taking stupid shots.

Have to take the good with the bad for most ISU players. Just hard to watch Holmes take hard shots expecting consistency.

OU's first bucket of 2nd half (big to big feed) was a result of a 4-guard lineup. Grill was guarding their 4.

Some of our bad shots are basically turnovers.
Whats normal for % of turnovers from steals. 5 of our turnovers were steals and the other must have been the Carry on Lipsey. Weird huh?
