I'm admittedly a Dingle guy. But if you've watched the last few games, his defensive effort has gotten immeasurably better despite what Slyfoxx might say.

 

[RyGuyRedStorm]

Believe that whole run was with Jenkins on the bench?

 

[MugCostanza]

Having a 5 point lead at the break is pretty wild. Every guy I was frustrated with stepped up down the stretch to vault us ahead. Conway and Dingle specifically. Solid mins from Sim too

 

[vegasman2000]

I surrender.
Large glass of Glenlivet incoming.

Umm...yeah... I surrender too ....

How many times have we led at the half this year and lost seems like every big East game we lost we were winning at the half.

 

[mjmaherjr]

I stepped away for 2 seconds and now we are winning what happened lol

What happened is step away from the tv

 

[NCJohnnie]

That was one of the craziest first halfs I’ve ever seen

100% but crazy good for us!

 

[Marillac2]

I stepped away for 2 seconds and now we are winning what happened lol

Jenkins sat and we became a team that moves the ball without dribbling.

 

[paultzman]

We started playing good defense and then CONWAY helped open things up!

Let’s go!

Abandoning porous zone was key

 

[vegasman2000]

Halftime leads are nothing new for this team.

Yes but *how* we got this lead is different

 

[logen]

This team giveth and then taketh away. A nice run just negated by a series of dumb, low percentage plays. Just consistently finds ways to beat themselves.

And then the best 4 minutes the team has played all year.

 

[Shannon]

All with Jenkins on the bench. Kudos to Conway

Wilcher too, solid minutes

 

[firestorm]

I’m purposely forcing myself to stay away from the in game thread. Haven’t read it but it has to be the most Jekyll and Hyde thread ever!!!

Most Jekyll-and-hyde since the last game thread. And every game thread before that. (Fixed that for ya!)

 

[Silly Donovan]

Wilcher held his own and did not hurt the team. Will Sorianos resurgence come to be???

 

[Bobby123]

Hate to agree with Marillac, but ball movement was much better when jenkins was on bench

With Luis the ball does not move

 

[SJUWillRockNYC]

Thus team is enough to give one a nervous breakdown. Do we dare have hope or will Carters heroics take over the second half???

Hope is all I have, definitely not confident

 

[sju2000alum]

Yeah Conway has played great last few games I’ll no longer hate on him he’s stepping up giving us defense and outside shooting love it.

 

[monte]

With Luis the ball does not move

Yeah, with him on the bench too

 

[Mean Gene]

As I said earlier in this thread, the gauntlet part of our schedule is over. We are better than this Providence team. It's time to put together a second half and win this game.

Let’s see them do it Alex because they haven’t done it all season. This team has to show me now.

 

[Delaware]

Didn't see a 5 point lead at the end of the half. Did a better job defending the perimeter the last 7 or 8 minutes. Oduro and Carter will try to go crazy early in the 2H.
