Not the strong start to the 2nd half we were looking for.

If that TSJ play doesn't fire us up, nothing will.

Simple, we play 5 out and no one plays in the paint except for P and R plays and cutters who are covered well. We try to unclog the lane for drivers and booty ball. TSJr. has had a couple of 3 amazing drives and finishes as has Hawk. They are doubling MD and he has been slow to get anything and not forcing anything. Ty had some opportunities and missed and fumbled away the ball a couple of times. Q did nothing.

But the bench, with Goode, DD, and DGL have been our saviour and played very well. DGL is two for two from the arc...who'd a thunk it? Goode is 1 for 2 with 2 boards and no turns or fouls. DD is 2 for 2 with 4 boards and only 1 foul...no turns. TY and Q need to get going and we should be fine.

When this half starts, we have to keep Minix and Howard from going off. They will be firing away early...just like they started.

I appreciate your comments. I didn't necessarily mean to have two or three guys clog the low post like it's the 60's. Cutting and driving the lane is fine. It sounds like it has worked a few times. Picking up fouls on MSU along the way. A comments someone made that TSJ is a little fatigued also helps explain why he can't do it "every time" down court.
Thanks to all for the insights.

QG no points and 2 boards so far. We need someone else besides TSJ to get going

 

[NarrowJ]

Jump ball? He was all over his arm!

 

[TheChief4Life]

What a play!

 

[skyIdub]

If that play doesn't light your team on fire....nothing will.

 

[The Galloping Ghost]

I love TSJ.

 

[TentakilRex]

Heady play by TSJ

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

TSJ is one of our only players playing like “we don’t want to go home.”

STEP UP THE ENERGY!

 

[PizzaHutParkingLot]

Somewhere in Peoria DMFW smiled at that play

 

[madcrazeeballa]

QG knows this is it for him right? Because it looks like he's sleep walking on the floor at times.

TSJ refusing to give up, just need the rest of the team to do it too

 

[One Man Fast Break]

Shannon came to play. Our Freshman 9th man came to play. Who else came here to play? Come on.

 

[InDaAZ]

Does TJ want to win this game?

 

[aaeismacgychel]

Coleman. You cannot argue the call behind the play.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

[blife]

[Chad Fleck]

I'm not sure that pass was meant for Dain, but I'm glad he snagged it.
