Does he not want to score? Pump fake to a worse opportunity than he had.  Too timid inside.  

 

My thoughts exactly.  I’d rather have him take an in rhythm three and miss than have us take the 5 shots we had to take after he passed up the shot.

[hskr4life]

For the first time in a long time... I just feel like the better team.  I expected it to be close though.

[PimpMario]

Wasn't the prettiest half but a 5 point lead is something.

 

65 wins this game.  I like our chances at 60

easy first half under is the good news!!  The other good news is that I felt like our offense looked somewhat functional.  I like the 3 man weave action.  We have players that can use that action to our benefit.

Especially if Glynn and Tom can keep hitting some of those top of the key threes.

He want to drive for the highlight reel dunk I think.

NW is really bad, so we got that going for us.

Yeah it allows Glynn to step in to his shot which he seems to shoot better in that action.

Or if Roby would start shooting his open looks (in rhythm).

not as bad as they played however.  We must play decent basketball to beat them.  Some of the shots will fall for them and when they do I worry that we get tight.

That too.  I think the weave action is generally good.  Simplifies things and gives the d a chance to give us a driving lane.

Let’s run these MFers out of the gym this half!!!

This arena sounds like a swim meet right now.

did glynn just dribble out of bound like a drunk? lol 

[colhusker]

They are like a bad rash tonight, just won't go away.

[tcp]

another player getting that unicorn-like 3. 

[hskr4life]

How many times have we heard... “just his X three this season?”

[hskr4life]

Well... Roby is shooting.

[tcp]

well, we're laying the bricks early this half. 

need to pick this up soon.

You just gave me PTSD from going to State swim meets for my sisters

[colhusker]

Palmer and Watson are struggling big time

[HuskerFever]

Our performance so far in this 2nd half is drier than a bad dad joke.
