Lucky to only be down six. Don’t like our body language. We’ve been punched in the mouth and aren’t sure if we want to respond.

They all have the tips on their shots - how many 6’ & under shots weren’t even close?? Like not even hitting the rim
They're rushing the shots because they don't want contact

The fact we are down only by 6 at half is a fucking miracle. Several of our players have their heads stuck in a bad place.

Being down 6 is indeed a break. We're going to see if Tommy learned anything from the Baylor game last year

Do they realize if we wanted to hear about Duke, we'd watch CBS?
Ugh no shit
No one watches UofA
If this doesn’t work out tonight and Duke loses too, at least that does give me some peace that we won’t have to hear as much Duke bullshit from now on (hopefully).

Their defense is good, but we need to play not scared of their physicality. Attack the basket!
Hard to attack when their athletes are quicker than yours. Basically only Mathurin, Koloko, and Terry are comparable to Houstons athletes. We can still win but we need better movement, screening, passing and spacing to fight their quickness, physicality, and athleticism.

Well we sucked balls in the first half and only down by 2.
We need to come out fighting and scrapping. Our energy and effort must be WAY better.
I much prefer your halftime score... what channel are you watching on?

Zu is becoming Zeus with the hands.
I’d really like to see some sort stuff f set to get a lob or something.
Still think we wait for rebounds and don’t box out

Switched over to the TT - Duke game. So nice to see teams that can actually shoot and not watch potential rebounds go flying by like the ball will hurt you if touched.

Zu needs to work on moving to his right and shooting with his right hand. He also needs to work on upper and lower body strength. Even if he does this, his ceiling is playing in Europe. I can't see him ever playing in the NBA.

If they didn't call a bunch of fouls on Houston, we'd be getting cooked really badly
Arizona has 7 total FGs and 10/14 from the free throw line
Thank the refs
Of those 7 FGs, we have 6 assists. Who knew…

He can't stay on the floor. He loses or gets stripped the ball in the perimeter, post, wing - all over the place.
These games are too quick for him

Sorry, fat fingered the number. Much like Zu's first half play...

Pretty sure he also needs to get smacked in the mouth or something to elicit some sort of emotion. I mean, maybe it doesn’t ever happen, but he seems way too robotic.
Oh wait…or stepped on his head!!!!

I would much rather have Zeus out there. Zu is more like Loren Woods, gets rattled too easily and the game gets in his head.

It’ll be interesting to see what adjustments they make at halftime.

There are no lifts designed to increase will. If we want it more than Houston in the second half we can win this game. They badly want it of course so we better dial it up
