Happy Jordan Ashton is on the team, but his ceiling is "not hurting the team". He cannot guard Williams at all. Cooke hasn't played well, but he at least has some upside

I swear we have not grabbed a single long rebound this year. No one even goes for the ball. Everyone just stands there watching the other team hustle for it. If we would rebound tonight we'd have at least an 8 point lead right now.

Just need to find a way to get into the stretch run with our key guys intact and a lead or tight game.

Also need to quit with the cheap reaching fouls.

All in all, not a terrible half. TT has been in a shooting funk for four games, so of course they're draining shots coming out of the locker room.

No double digit lead given up in the first half (check)
Scoring from guys you do not count on for scoring (check)
Nobody with 3 fouls (check)

Sitting in good shape, only concern is we shot the ball well and still tied, but we have banked fouls so we can ratchet up the D in the 2nd half.

Again seem to be following blueprint for winning the 2nd half.

Pretty much this, UraMallas.
This is insane. The two of them are essentially even right in how well they play. Upside doesn't mean anything in the now. We are talking about right now. They have almost identical stat lines in this game. What a weird thing to complain about and I'm done with this argument. Carry on and don't bring me up again.

Shot 57% from the field in the first half......and we are tied. Hope we win, but defense is really poor again tonight. Georges was really frustrated with the 2 wide opens threes they made......nobody hardly on the same side of the court as the shooter. . Somebody doesn't know what they are doing. Btw.....bad Alabama team beat tam tonight. Go cyclones in the second half.

it looks bad but really Tech only missed 2 more shots than ISU otherwise they are pretty much shooting same.
Not like Tech shot 35% and we are still tied. Tech also made 1 more 3.

Jumping in late and haven't looked through the thread so probably covered but is there a "star" player that gets more cheap *** foul calls than Niang? I'm not sure he actually touched the guy on that 2nd one. Gets really old.

You'd think an All-American wouldn't get those cheap calls on them. But you'd be wrong.

Sooooo next year do you think Burton will get the DeAndre Kane treatment? I.e. He's so good and strong that he gets fouled every time but they stop calling it?
