Hopefully Tommy gets on everyone at the the half.

The U fo Zero played a really good first half - gotta give them credit. And, they had some good luck also. But, can they do that for 20 more minutes???

Our biggest concern has to be Kerr’s three fouls. He’s gonna be restrained in the second half.

Ramey made up for some poor shooting with good assists. But with he & Boswell as the back court, we were off-balance vs. the zone.

I’ll bet “rebounding” is being used more than any other word during halftime in our locker room

Haven't seen so many 3 point shooters open since Wazzu.

Altman's whining paid off too, saw two homer calls the last 5 minutes.

Yup, this is not a top ten team. Maybe top 20.

Bye Bye Top 10

We have an issue with teams that have some size inside and have athletic guards. Larsson/KerrK are just not cutting it.

Well, so far we’ve out-rebounded them this half by 8

Cats were not athletic enough last season, and don't have Mathurin (only player to create their own shot), Koloko ) only rim defender, and Terry leaving a much less athletic team. No one can create a shot, and no one can protect the rim.

Yet, they’ve devolved into trying to create their own shots - our passing game is non-existent

So frustrating we can’t even move the ball around.

Why hasn’t Veesaar been playing. I know he’s young and raw but seems like he hasn’t been in much lately.

I was wondering the same thing. He has a lot of potential to be a rim protector.

Get Larsson OUT.

I would rather see Bal turn the ball over......at least give him a chance. We have
seen enough of Larsson this season to know he's not going to get us anywhere in March

Shows we have no depth, no true PG to run the offense and we’ve been soft especially when teams come out aggressive. Need to start making adjustments or we are going to keep looking silly.

It's not all bad, Sling keeps shutting off the game, so can't watch the miserable end.

Boswell is going to be huge.

Outrebounded 42-31.

So much for the best bigs in the country or PAC.

In hindsight our early season wins were against a number of teams that have turned out to be not very good.

Lets not lose sight of the fact that we lost 3 1st round draft picks. Very few teams (other than maybe the Dukes of the world who pull in 3/4 5stars every year) can recover from that.

Since the 1st half of the ASu game, we've basically played UW even for 2 halves, beat OSU in the first half, but lost both halves against WSU, 2nd half against ASu and OSU, and both halves against Oregon. Not good.
