This is the LJ we were missing. The guy who just wreaks havoc and makes things happen out of nowhere. And finding his niche with the midrange.

No more 30 footers, LJ!
 
Happy with what Heron gave us in first half, but again we make our run with him on the bench. Our pressure D, which drives our runs, better when he’s not on floor. Having said that, loved how CMA utilized everyone in first half. Let’s keep this up!
 
What a half of basketball. Cometely took powell out of the game.

Powell is not going down without a fight so we need to weather the storm when he gets on a run. We have this game!!!!
 
I think these noon start Saturday games are perfect for us because I don’t think teams are totally ready for the defense we are about to throw at them
 
Great half. Proud of the effort by the guards on Powell and the bigs on Gill. Not easy and they're playing very well. Everyone contributing. Encouraging to see this.

Gotta be ready to get blitzed in the 2nd half. We all know Powell can erase a 13 point deficit in 3 minutes by himself.

Agree. Until he starts bringing it in other areas he’s a stretch 4 who if he’s hitting shots should get minutes.
 
At a church blood.drive so missed first half but love the fact we are up 13 and Figgy and Heron both stayed out of foul trouble.
Hoping to get home for.most of 2nd half. Go Johnnies!

You know the hall is gonna start mixing zones against our offense to stymie us Etc. In addition Powell was mentioned to be the best second half scored in all college basketball. We also don’t close out well sometimes. The longer we keep this lead, the better. Gotta jeep defensive intensity up and really hit the boards to keep possessions.
 
Refs letting us play not calling tricky tack fouls and despite some blocks we remain in attack mode. keeps the energy level high. Lets make sure we execute in the half court sets late in this game.
 
Let’s stay the aggressor early here and build this up to 20.
 
We also have our big guys really cleaning the glass on the defensive end. Very few easy opportunities inside. If we are going to get beat, I’d rather it not be by exploiting our interior.
 
Up 13 at half, but we know the Hall will make a run. Need to stay poised in the half court set and hope we have enough offense to carry us through the second half.
 
Our pressure d must remain and where them down over the course of the second half. My guess is they will be utilizing high ball screens to get the ball past half court which should now create a significant opportunity to double and get the ball into the wrong guys hands
 
Figgy needs to drive that, enough with the threes. We have to survive this run!
 
Did the teams swapped uniforms at the half?.

They tricked us with that press as we weren’t expecting it but they weren’t expecting it. They can’t sustain it energy-wise.
