LR is going to press us in the 2nd half and get torn apart even worse.

 

[Clonehomer]

The biggest state of the night so far:
Niang 0 fouls.

 

[Althetuna]

ALR looks frusterated

 

[clonefan24]

Y'all are confident. Am I the only one who will be nervous until the final buzzer?

 

[CycloneErik]

Good first half. Long way to go.

 

[CyArob]

Dang was hoping for 15 PT lead at half

 

[BeneventiCy28]

This is just a great game to watch. Little lull in the middle but offense and defense has been very good. This is fun basketball to watch

 

[jdoggivjc]

Good half, boys. Now earn your coffee.

 

[cyclones500]

Honestly that last basket was just about the worst part of the half.

Y'all are confident. Am I the only one who will be nervous until the final buzzer?

No. I've seen our guys go cold for stretches before, and I worry it happens here as well.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Good first half. Long way to go.

Not any longer than the first half, fingers crossed.

 

[Hoiball92]

Up by 12 at half, only 3 fouls, shooting 54% great start

Nice lead. Need to find something definite inside for when ISU's 3's stop falling, and Little Rock's start to fall.

I think the inside's starting to develop, but I'd imagine they'll hit at least 4-5 threes next half with the season on the line.

More importantly, this group needs to play the 2nd half like it's a 0-0 ball game, or even better for them, like they're behind.

Loved seeing Niang a few minutes ago getting so excited about a 5 point lead. He's ready and excited and that goes a long way win or lose this game.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Great half. Patient in the half court, very little foul trouble (none on Georges!)

I'm sure Little Rock will change things up on defense so we'll have to adjust when we see that).

Really just need to keep our focus on defense and keep making them take tough shots).

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Other thing to remember is that Purdue was up by 13 with 4 minutes left and blew that lead. Our guys need to keep the pace up.

 

[cyclonenation5]

I know I know, it's March or whatever, but you still have to feel good about a 12 point lead. Only thing better would be a 13 point lead...

 

[madguy30]

Y'all are confident. Am I the only one who will be nervous until the final buzzer?

No. Not sure why people would be very cocky with this particular group, in a tourney that's been less than predictable.

 

[HFCS]

Best stat is Georges with 0 fouls. If he stays focused and can play aggressive that's quite a task for Little Rock.

Also Monte played a pretty solid half considering we were all in the half court. No mistakes and set up a few big plays for himself and others.

 

[CycloneErik]

Other thing to remember is that Purdue was up by 13 with 4 minutes left and blew that lead. Our guys need to keep the pace up.

Little Rock built a season on double-digit comebacks. It ain't over, but it's got promise.

Nope. Waiting until that clock says 0.
