By The Numbers

[NYCRedmen]

A few have mentioned in other threads about the "tired legs" we have shown in the 2nd half of our first 3 conference games. Against Butler we gave up 26 points in the first half and 47 in the 2nd half. Last night Villanova had 34 points at halftime and then put up 56 in the 2nd half. Interesting b/c up until conference play we've been a much better 2nd half team for the most part. The 3 conference games were played in the span of 5 days, maybe that was a factor, I don't know. One thing is sure, the next 7 days off can only help these guys.

Can be tired legs, or foul situation that causes our guys to back off defensively.
