Energy, crowd, and execution feels like the good old days. Script logo helps, too

Let's stack some more fouls on these guys in next 3 minutes!

 

[williaza01]

I remember this the last game. Farr hooks basically every time he touches the ball. Hate that doesnt get called in college. Not that it matters that much. He is a good player and kills us, its not just because of that.

 

[chickenbox]

Just avoid scoring droughts rest of the way. 18 point lead a nice working margin

 

[ncaaball2]

What a performance!

 

[bigraym]

That was a carry!

 

[mjs428]

Up 20 so I'm def nitpicking but Whitehead out of control/careless.

 

[Jerry1992]

Awesome half. Xavier will probably make a run. Answer the one run and they win handily. Great effort. Team is tournament bound. No doubt.

 

[bigraym]

Rack those fouls on X!

 

[chickenbox]

Foul them all out!

 

[williaza01]

Well X will DEFINITELY get a better whistle and make more of the close shots. But with 19pts we should be ok

 

[chickenbox]

Let's get a big second half out of IW and win by 30

 

[Shuathelete]

Its the ENERGY . Hall fans definitely a big factor. Good stuff!!

 

[bigraym]

Play solid defense and rebound, the win will then be ours! Got two more road games, but I am polishing up my Dancin' Shoes!

 

[Fzacsattac]

I don't know how it sounds on tv but it is crazy here! Holy cow this is awesome! The recruits must be loving this!

 

[chickenbox]

Liked that Mack board breaking chop. Would already be a meme for a higher profile coach / program

 

[bigraym]

BTW, let's not forget, Ish is playing a tremendous game as well! Our defense is SOLID!

 

[JTSHU]

I was nervous about our foul shooting and turnovers going into this game. Up 19 with 11 TO and 7 coming from Isaiah...what do i know?? lol

 

[chickenbox]

IW hasn't been great. Zone definitely flustered him. Couple of those TOs were on the catch. Expect a better second half from him

 

[Jerry1992]

We are playing very well but Xavier is having a letdown game as well. Equals a great half and tournament bid for us. Go pirates.

 

[bigraym]

Seems that when we win, we out assist our opponent, we are up 7-4 on assists

 

[NewHouse71]

GREAT FIRST HALF! Keep it up.
GL - NovavoN

 

[bigraym]

Come on, let's not get complacent

 

[williaza01]

This will probably get tight. Just have to keep scoring

 

[chickenbox]

Still nervous since were known for long droughts and x is better than they played. Well not nervous like I expect a loss, just not confident we'll definitely win

 

[williaza01]

X has one TO remaining. Didn't realize that. Pretty crazy

 

[Shuathelete]

We're def giving up the big lead...it's tradition!

Lol just trying to gear myself up go hall!

 

[Jerry1992]

Whitehead turnovers numbers are very bad. He will have over 10 easily at this rate.

 

[williaza01]

Here comes the "balancing" of the whistles just have to play through that

 

[williaza01]

We're def giving up the big lead...it's tradition!

Lol just trying to gear myself up go hall!

Its more college basketball in general

 

[bigraym]

No fluidity on O, forcing shots

 

[williaza01]

Mack should get "T" soon

 

[ncaaball2]

Need to settle down. Just play yor game and you win this.

 

[williaza01]

Sumner just did the SAME thing. He drives to the basket with a stiff arm lol

 

[chickenbox]

Desi recognizes he has matchup advantage basically every time down the court

 

[Jerry1992]

Next four minutes will determine if we win easily or this gets close quick. We must keep lead over 12 by under 12 minute mark. Critical period of game coming up.

 

[Shuathelete]

If it goes to 12 it's going to 6

 

[chickenbox]

Gotta run through Desk with IW in funk. Carrington shaky with handle recently

 

[bigraym]

Long way to go, we have to come up with an offense in 2nd half....Desi can't be our only O

 

[Piratefan2009]

Come on, let's not get complacent

If it goes to 12 it's going to 6

Somehow their confidence is completely shaken
