We need to cut down on the turnovers and attack the rim more with our size this second half. Then used the drive to kick to the open shooters once they start collapsing to help. Boswell and the rest of the team needs to be more aggressive offensively. We play with our depth and we will win going away I think this half by double digits.

Petro came out never playing with this team, never playing in the USA, never playing in front of a crowd even close to this size and looked comfortable as hell. Can't wait to see him folded more into the rotation. It adds even more steadiness to a team with freshman who are already steady beyond belief but definitely got spread up in the first half.

He looks like John Stockton and Steve Nash combined to me.

Isivic twins with 1 total board and 3 points. Not getting much from them tonight. Would love to see some more production inside from them

The way Bama is playing makes it tougher on them. Guarding 25ft from the basket and sprinting up and down the court isn't really ideal for them. It definitely suits Z's game better, but still tough

That Jake Davis foul was the worst part of the half

I don't know where his minutes are gonna come from moving forward if we stay healthy.

Ben is at least fighting on D and has been tenacious on the glass tonight.

Mix in Petro getting guard minutes...tough spot for JD

Mirk on track with 10 pts and 7 boards for another double double, not to mention his third B10 Freshman of the Week award. The B10 might just as well leave the award in his locker this season, although I would not mind seeing Wagler borrow it from him a few times in coming weeks when he balls out too.

Kind of a weird game working in new players during a huge game...

Well our point guard had foul trouble and without a lead guard our offense was stagnant… and petrovic is experienced and came in and did just fine.

He's 32 and Eastern European, so he's probably drunk :D

When legs get tired, those threes hit the front of the rim. Hope our guys know that.

Ben's block saved a score and led to the Andrej dunk.

Ben is having a high level game.

Him making 1 more outside shot would be an all-around good game (so far). If his bricks didn't lead to a Bama rebound, it wouldn't be as bad. Here's to a second half where he goes 3-4!
