Get it to 12 or 14 by half and we are fine.

We are fine. We got this.

Exercise:

Name one other player at any level that does not bounce the ball on a free throw attempt.

Side note: the bald eagle is lame. That's be like butler having a French Bulldog at the game.

1. Slow starts have to end.  Staff has to figure something out.  Can't do it nightly.

2. FTs no matta has been and is wrong.  FTs matta.  10-20 versus 15-20 is a 3 possession game versus a 5 possession game.

3. They started 5-6 from 3, finished 6-12

4. 2 and 3 are the difference

Glass half full: their point guards have 3 & 2 fouls and their centers have 2 each

Refs will just simply stop calling them. Doubt it's a factor.

Work with me man!!

Agreed. They swallowed their whistles for 6 minutes.

There's got to be some reason why this team continues to dig itself into first half holes.
Sure, Butler and UConn this week have shot lights out, but this has happened more than just lately.

[Vander Blue Man Group]

My first game of the season so this is clearly my fault.

[GB Warrior]

Rico knows ball. This is a first weekend team as they're currently playing

[NCMUFan]

Let's see if we can get it under 15 at half. Can't believe I'm hoping for that but here we are

Got your wish - Down 13.

[muwarrior69]

I think Shaka should sit Kam for the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half. We just might have a chance.

[MUEng92]

My first game of the season so this is clearly my fault.

I'm 0-2 over 2 seasons, but I'm sitting in my basement.  We still have a chance with you

[PGsHeroes32]

The positive spin.

We have 2 players on the entire team that have made a shot. And somehow only down 13

[MUEng92]

I'm weirdly confident.  Of course I'm having my first drink in 1.5 weeks after fighting a virus so that could explain it too

[NCMUFan]

Just sit back, enjoy a cold one and watch Marquette take apart UCONNN in the second half.

[CountryRoads]

Very doable to get this win. Game was hanging in the balance to be a complete blowout. Could very easily be 27.

[MuggsyB]

We've missed 10 FT's.  We have 3 starters with a combined 2 pts and they're all experienced.  This is simply about calming down and playing with poise and intelligence. 

[DoctorV]

Tough half, strong finish will be the key to tonight's win

No question.  Very doable.

Could be.  They could be a second weekend team, too.

The '11 team was an 11-seed and made the second weekend.

They've lost twice in the first round as a 5-seed.

Anything is possible.  The only thing that is certain is, a lot of fans will have the weight of them possibly winning games going away when they lose so they can say "I knew it, we suck"

[MuggsyB]

To PG's point this team hasn't played well at home.    We have to figure this out right now.

Why are we tight Dr V?  I'm lost on this one.
