[RipDumaine 132]

Only down 10.....take deep breath...and be thev2nd half team we are

 

[bucketshardy]

OK... 10 points!.... Do-able.... GTown will get tired.... we'll play better.

We'll get this shit tied under 10....

Good Job Crowd getting Loud at the End there!

 

[Knight]

Out rebounded by 16 (26-10)

 

[paultzman]

Could be worse.

Really reaching now, but GT folded in second half v UConn last game

 

[MugCostanza]

65 probably wins this game. Not sure we can get there

 

[espken]

Fortunate to be down 10 at half.
At least it’s not 41-9

 

[Jack Williams]

This is our team, we are not playing differently or worse than normal. If a team executes offensively against us we will look bad.

our starting point guard is injured. We are definitely playing worse without him

 

[SJU2000alum15]

The rebounding is a concern that’s usually a stat we dominate getting killed on the glass.

Could be worse.

I knew this game would be tough w/o Deivon. Make no mistake - he is our leader and we miss him big time

 

[Mean Gene]

Everyone says we’re a second half team. Let’s see it now! I want more Lefty. Let’s see Kadary earn his money this second half also.

 

[SJU61982]

Minus 16 on the boards. A few of those have just come to where the Georgetown players are, but we're not boxing out on a lot of them.

Plus 5 turnover differential keeping us within striking distance.

a -14 from Zuby.... Gwow.... lol

 

[ptc666]

need to come out strong in the 2nd half. we are getting killed on the boards and georgetown had a stretch where they shot 85% from the field. we're shooting like 30% and only down 10. this is a winnable game if we come out with the same determination we usually do in the 2nd half

 

[sjc88]

We have no consistency. Up one game, crap the next. Obviously this is a poor shooting team. We will need to work harder in the 2nd half. “Only” down 10 but unless we do some dirty work (rebounding, hustle, defense) we are going to lose. This is not the type of team to shoot its way back in.

I sure hope Rick has his Vince Lombardi speech ready. That effort was no bueno.

 

[Redmen88]

If I’m Rick, I tell the players to go 100% speed all 2nd half. Let up and get pulled. Play guys 3-5 minutes and sub them out.

 

[paultzman]

10 TOs for GT but many early.

I agree. Need to create some organized chaos

 

[espken]

It all starts on the defensive end.
We got this
