Williams did everything right but complete the layup.  Cole played well down the stretch of the half.  

Good job by the team to end the half.  
 
Bad decision by Dunn, bad miss of layup by Greg, but good finish to the half. We should win this one if we keep playing as tough as we are.
 
Nice to see Cole respond with a clean three, a couple of defensive boards and a block.
 
Love the energy but you've gotta hold for the last shot there. Defense got way better in the last 5 minutes of the half and that changed things. Please come out with that energy. Can't sleepwalk the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half like we've seen before.
 
Dunn with an absolutely stupid play with that pass at 17 seconds left. Play for the last shot and a 12 or 13 point lead. Instead it results in an easy basket for Xavier. It's plays like that that drives me nuts about Dunn, and ultimately can cost you a game. Geez.
 
overall  the finish was ok at best in my mind.
Dunn trying to thread a long bounce pass was obviously poor and that meant to points so Williams rushed and missed our two.
A great finish where we lose four points = just ok

I have a terrible feeling about how that half ended. That was a lot more than just 2 points. 

-momentum 
-double digit lead 
-their best player gets an easy basket and into double figures
-blown layup 

we need to treat every possession like it's a game deciding one this half. 
 
Dunn is a great kid but there is no doubt he should be playing less minutes than Williams going down the stretch; just makes way too many head scratching plays. Moore & Duke giving us great minutes tonight. Feel good about this one, but I'm the eternal optimist!

Agreed Mase, even though we are up 8 I still have a very queasy feeling about this game. Something just doesn't feel right. Hopefully, I'm dead wrong.

Defense seems helter skelter tonight better do a better job of tagging shooters in second half.

Williams with only one if posh/Dunn opens up so much more for him
 
I know you have to keep champy on the floor, but I love the lineup of:
Posh, Gwill, Wusu, Duke and Moore.

They bring so much toughness and energy its alot of fun when they are out there.
