That was a nicely designed play to end the half.

I'm watching on my phone and it's been fine
No signs of a Thanksgiving letdown.
Yeah, both are very dialed in and aggressive tonight. Wonder if it's something Brad focused on a little more this week in practice as neither is showing any fear of shooting it tonight
He's done a good job distributing the ball today, but outside of that he's been playing very low energy ball. I don't think the coaches will be all too thrilled on some of the players energy level this half.
It is hard to maintain a sense of urgency when you are up 49-25.
Set team goals like no rebounds or no points for opponent....it works. Get 10 boards or sit 10 min. next game. Let them set their own with coaches approval. All kinds of motivations but get them involved and having fun.
Or have the coaches set a goal for every player and the top two in achieving or exceeding get to bring a date for steak night at the Underwood's.

Agreed, and let's be honest, players tend to not be all psyched for games like these, but it was noticeable. And most of the loafing was during the first 8 minutes. Again, nothing to worry about but it was noticeable
Anyone else lose audio?

Living up to his name…
Same with RJ….it’s easy for RJ when we can get out and run. He struggles in the half court on both sides.
He's playing with a lot more effort this half. I think his 1st half effort was definitely questionable, that said he wasn't the only one and he's played some elite defense this year so when he isn't playing hard it shows much more clearly.
Sencire Harris cannot be kept off the court
TSJ must think that there’s a lid on the basket
All I can say is if I were the coach, and he played hard every day, I would find a way to play him 10 min + every game with a goal of 6 steals and he gets to start the next game. Feed the dog!!
