I don't know what the big deal is about them only having 7 guys that can play tonight. They caught us last year TWICE with less than that!

Will not complain about 11 point lead against top 25 team at half in Hilton. especially with this years team where 11 points feels like a tougher hill to climb than recent years.

bur frustrated we’re not playing with more tempo give they have a super short bench tonight. Credit TTU for slowing this down.
Tempo is not really our teams identity. Tech is gonna wear out down the stretch regardless given how hard they played so far

Agreed. I hope we can find a way to win by 30+ and send in Boothe to hit a 3

Very impressed we've held Tech to 1 offensive rebound. Points in the paint is an issue, though. We need to change that. If we have to depend on 3 point shots in the 2nd half, we could be in trouble.

It is no wonder we're struggling on offense, Tech is really obstructing movement and overplaying everything. We've missed several cutters because of the on-ball pressure.

We do that as well, although I don't think we illegally body off-ball as much as Tech
They also switch all screens. Making it impossible to get someone open.

Tech is playing very inspired and very physical. With the lousy hand they've been dealt for tonight's game, they know they have nothing to lose. We better match their urgency and physicality in the 2nd half, or it could get very uncomfortable.

Cyclones are shooting 38% from 3 vs 0% from Tech. At some point, those percentages have to regress to the mean. On the other hand, Tech's 3 point attempts thus far have looked like they were taken by mental patients, so hopefully there won't be too much regression in the 2nd half.

Love the offensive rebounds and second chance points. Don't like 1 FT attempt. Need to get to the rim.

And it's going to be like that for...2 months?

The inability to create is something to keep an eye on.
It is frustrating to see guys so timid to attack. Outside of Brockington and Hunter we haven't seen guys willing to make plays. Gabe is capable. Him figuring it out is pretty crucial to this team's ceiling

I wonder if anybody has ever died from injuries sustained from using a Tac Shaver.

Way to break down the Wooden mid season 25 list and not bother to mention a player from the game being televised.

I hate heights, so that clip of the halftime act just raised my anxiety

Definitely need Gabe to get his head right because he can be a liability when he's got a case of the yips.

We could also use a strong half by Conditt. Tech has way too many points in the paint.
