Ty has a terrible habit of making easy layups twice as hard by twisting around the rim for some reason. Guess he's scared of being blocked but he turns high percentage shots into low ones too often.

We are trying to get him with 2 fouls. Not working men. Hit some jumpers and move on. Refs are absent.

The game plan hasn’t been terrible, but the refs are letting UConn get away with a lot, and some missed bunnies - probably gonna have to adjust and mix things up, at this point it’s super obvious we’re trying to get the second on Clingan.

Good observation. Seems to corkscrew underneath the rim.

UConn came out on fire with tremendous speed and energy...much as we hit ISU with on Thur. We did not take as long to respond and this game could turn into a real dog fight.

That is me hoping for it anyway.

This may have been a good game to have had Lieb to lean on him for 5 fouls...he is not a good FT shooter.

The missed layups are heartbreaking. The game is within reach. We just have to...reach it.

Didn't get the memo that college basketball got rid of freedom of movement, body fouls, and hacks are allowed now... We are in trouble if they aren't going to call anything.

Also, Rodgers is almost not playable right now. Moment too big for him again.

They’re gonna let that damn Klingon foul everytime. Those weren’t all clean.

Unless we can start making dunks and layups when they are open, and get our FT shooting back up to 75% or better, we will not give ourselves a good chance to win.
