This shit is almost bittersweet. Playing such good basketball lately. But because of early season failures not even quite on the bubble yet and have to be near perfect.

just gonna try to enjoy the ride 
 
I didn't like the last possession shot by Posh, but a minor complaint considering how we started the game versus how we played to end the half.  A solid and gutsy first half effort.  Duplicate midway through the first half and we're gonna notch ourselves a W.  

Let's get it! 
 
Need to come out aggressive like we are behind to start the half rather than complacent because we're up 7
 
Don’t wanna jinx things but when mjmaherjr shows up at carnesseca we do well we went on run as soon as I got here and I’m relatively sure I heard CMA say “ if Maher can deal with this heat you better hustle “
 
Mathis is the reason why we came back from a tough start and are leading at the half. Mathis has his shortcomings but he plays his ass off and is an excellent defensive player and drives to the hoop with authority every time. 
 
Great atmosphere at the arena tho hot.   But they were hotter for much if the half.  Great to see Mathis settle into his role.  Smith too.   Great to see Pinzon in the floorboard.  Looked good too.   And Posh is Posh. 

In second half I’d like to see them seal off the big guy and continue to play tough. 
 
This is what I was hoping for - enough interchangeable parts where somebody different could step up every night.  Tonight it’s Mathis and Smith’s time to shine!
 
Great sign to take Creighton’s punch and fighting back from double digit deficit.
McDermott game plan is clear, Kalkbrenner down low. Nywie and Stanley cannot switch off him.
For us, Champ has to come out swinging. Please no Wusu 3 pointers or Nywie perimeter shots (I know he hit one, but still). Great half by Mathis and Posh.
 
Great defensive play has turned things around and opened up offense.  Fantastic to get Pinzon back at this point in season.  He can be an X-factor moving forward with bud length, passing and ability to get to the hole.  He will need time to get to speed but nice to have him this point in season to bolster roster.
