And if it weren't for totally out of the bell curve perimeter shooting from Trier we'd be up by high single digits at least. Maybe.

Miller not happy with 1st half and refs calling 2 early fouls on Deem
I like when Miller is angry at halftime

11 offensive rebounds, 18% from 3. That and Bluiett pretty much says it all.

Half time in the locker room will be interesting.
Cats 3-16 3 point shots.

Trier trying to build a home with all those bricks he threw up in the 1st half.
looked like crap many times against that zone
that blueit guy on xavier can't miss even if he tried.
allen sitting damn near the entire half due to fouls
and yet
up 2 at the half.
let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Cats in the 2nd.

Bluiett was literally perfect.
We played the whole half without Allen.
Couldn't hit from the perimeter at all.
Showed some poor execution against the zone.
But it's all about surviving a half like that and positioning yourself for the second half.

I've heard that so many times before and it rarely works out
I know, but since this is a semi-anonymous sports forum I'll bet you a 19 year old bottle of Jura single malt...that Bluiett doesn't reproduce his 1h shooting % in the 2h? Deal?

Y'all are going to think I'm crazy but Blueitt is not enough to beat him by himself. Contain Macura and Gates and we should be okay. Need to execute on offense and keep crushing it on the glass though.

Fate being fickle as it usually is for Cats fans, the 2h will see us make our perimeter shots while Xavier dominates the glass and second chance points. Jeezus, I need some more highly distilled spirits.

I expect them to try to get Lauri open for some 3s to try to break this zone a bit. Trier really needs to quit the bricks. I think Kadeem going out with foul trouble plus Alkins finger (I do think it's hurting his shooting) were factors. Happy to be up 2 considering they seem to have the best player on the planet and we shot about 15 percent.

We need to recognize that the refs are calling any amount of hand checking. Just don't touch the body with your hands ever and he will be fine

Currently we have a much better assist to made-shot ratio than Xavier; we have no one with 3 fouls; we have 9 more shots on goal than they do (with a % of 39% [for fuck's sake]) because with our height advantage we're out boarding them. And with all that shitty perimeter shooting we're still ahead. It doesn't feel like it's warranted, but we're doing well considering how poorly we're doing.
