[PGsHeroes32]

Zaide and Lowery looked really good in that 14-2 run. All catalyzed by Zaide.

I guess its cool that MU mastered the art of cloning

WTF??

[willie warrior]

Gold with 2 more patented brick 3s

[PGsHeroes32]

Mark Armstrong open 3s...cash

Ben Gold.......brick

Make a fu cking shot

[forgetful]

Both of them?

Gold had a nice block that created energy, caused a double dribble, and had the Euro step. A nice set of 3 plays, 2 on the defensive end that were big stops.

[MuggsyB]

Cmon Ben. 

[MuggsyB]

Poor close to the half.

Poor close to the half.

You can't have a 6'1" guys whose main function is to shoot 3s not make 3s

[mugrad_89]

Of course Nova is shooting 20% over their season avg from three.  🙄

[Vander Blue Man Group]

Nice stop and score and we get the ball to start the 2nd. 

Need this win.

[MuggsyB]

Maybe that gets Tyko going. 

[tower912]

Great defense by Ben leads to the Kolek buzzer beater.

[mugrad_89]

Maybe that gets Tyko going.

Let's hope so - he still has no confidence from three.

[Daniel]

Let's come out on fire in second half!  We get the ball to start. 
Zaide very calm in shooting those two huge threes .      Going to be good

[Milkshakes]

That ball issue - whatever it was - killed our run.

Also, this team doesn't currently have the killer instinct they had earlier in the year. Still so much tentative play.  Also, no ability to put their foot on the other team's neck when they have them down.

[MuggsyB]

MU played a terrific half.  Maybe we're overhelping too much but Nova definitely hit a few uncharacteristic triples.

Expecting a strong first four minutes that shifts the game comfortably in our favor.

[nyg]

First eleven minutes, MU took two threes, went 1 for two.  All most from drives to hoop.  Next nine minutes MU went 2 for 10 from three, both made by Lowery.  Huge, huge shots.  MU 3 for 12 from three.  Did same in Butler games, started jacking threes after 12 minute tv timeout, as opposed to driving. 

Up 6, Gold took two threes, missed both. Nova then cut lead to one.  He has missed his last 10 threes.  Keep firing. 

Nova can't continue this three shooting, can they?  Nine threes made, ugh.....

[MuggsyB]

MU with zero FT's in the 1H.

Deflategate?

...which is why they are still in the game. Every team we play seems to become a 3pt shooting phenom. Let's hope the regress in the second half.

Well, we didn't miss any.
