Final 2 possessions woot!

 

[Nococy]

good first half. just need to clean up on the rebounds.

 

[simply1]

Great finish!!

 

[HFCS]

Really good half all things considered!

Yeah looking at ft disparity, half of that is nonsense. Could be 12 point lead pretty easy.

 

[cyatheart]

About as good a first half as I could hope for.

 

[cyfanbr]

Masterful coaching and execution in the final 45 seconds. That’s winning basketball right there.

100% … the finish to that half was a thing of beauty.

 

[GTO]

Great first half.

 

[helechopper]

Way to finish Cyclones! We rarely see end of half execution like that.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Watson! love this guy

 

[Cyclonepride]

Fantastic half. Calm cool and collected, with a short memory when a play doesn’t go our way. So well coached.

 

[legi]

Miles is gonna look to establish himself right away in the 2nd half. Contain him and we have a great chance.

 

[CYDJ]

That end of the half looks NOTHING like what I had gotten accustomed to. We used to go in the half losing 4 in the last minute and 1/2 the time going in 6 on a last second 3 from half court. I believe TJ (and team) is a better coach than we thought he (they) was.

I like the attitude of his teams.

Foul differential is a joke. Hopefully TJ has a discussion with the stripes at half.

It’s been like this almost every game this year. Nothing we’re not use too.

 

[cyatheart]

Have to get to the line though, can't have the game continue to be called like this.

 

[legi]

We are shooting 61% and nobody has more than 6 points. Wow.

 

[HFCS]

Need big second half defense from Osun to stop some easy points inside and we can get this even with the 29 to zero ft disparity we’re on pace for.

 

[inCyteful]

Bob Jones is getting bullied in conference play..

What the hell is the deal with Jones bashing?

6 points a steal and assist in shared 1st half minutes. Will take that every game from him.

 

[SoleCyclone]

Foul differential is a joke. Hopefully TJ has a discussion with the stripes at half.

Well, we are fouling them.

 

[CloneHead]

Fortunately TCU is 5 of 13 free throws. Great FT defense by the Cyclones!

 

[HFCS]

Have to get to the line though, can't have the game continue to be called like this.

We will never get in the bonus if it’s not a foul to mug our guys on perimeter.
