Finally calling that offensive on Krampejl. Been getting away with that all day until then. Shoving our defenders away.
By the way, never seen so many balls knocked away not to come up with nearly any. Thankfully we went on a big run and took care of business. We weathered the best they threw at us. Lock them down and wear them down in 2nd. Guts to come storming back when it was getting ugly. 5 pt lead at half I'll take it.
Outrebounded them 19-14. Nice finish to the half. Thanks God for Ponds. Need to get Clark some open looks in 2nd half. His only shot was big offensive rebound off missed free throw.

Staff has multiple timeouts to use. 4+ seconds on the clock. Use a damn timeout to set something up for the last possession. Every single possession counts in a game like this. The inexperienced in-game coaching from all staff members is glaring. Call me nit picky, but something should have been set up on that last possession.
Ponds is more valuable to his team than any player in college basketball. It’s more than just being a good player, his mere presence lifts the teams spirit. A leader. These guys follow him and go as he goes. It was very obvious in that first half.
We were getting beat badly in that first half until he started hitting shots. The whole team got involved and got hype after that.
