They’re 1986-Providence lucky from 3.

Leave the one-dimensional white guy open from 3 is a bad move.

Why did you have to include "white?" If he were "black" would you have said "black?"

 

[bamamc1]

Basketball is a game of runs. We’ve got to have at least 3 in the 2nd half. RTR

 

[RammerJammer14]

The 3s are the name of the game right now. Out of control.

 

[Cruiser]

They are playing our game, but can they play it better? Entertaining, for sure

So far, they are playing our game better

 

[TriCountyTider]

It'll be okay. 8 points is nothing in this game.

Gotta contest those 3's more. They are going uncontested for the most part and UNC ain't missing em

Humorous college-basketball stereotype. No offense intended.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Me either, and all in just a few minutes at the end of the half. Mainly because they can't miss on 3's.

they went 10/16 from 3. I honestly only remembered 2 misses.

That kid is a 34% 3PT shooter, except every time he plays Bama, then he becomes a 100% 3 pt shooter.

 

[BamaMoon]

Halftime thoughts: First, they are killing us with our game. Making 3s.

No surprise we are missing Wrightsell. Offense simply isn't as good without him.

Our spacing on offense is not good tonight.

Moment is too big for Stevenson, or so it seems right now.

Biggest issue on offense as I see it: every time the offense runs thru Big Mo or Pringle at the elbow we rarely get a good look. Tonight both look like they haven't played a college game.

If not for Estrada, Griffen and Sears we are getting embarrassed.

 

[bvandegraff]

Really missing Wrightsell.

 

[Cruiser]

Sears, Griffey and Estrada have 39 of our 46 points. No Mo D in first half?

 

[bvandegraff]

UConn is straight-up destroying teams right now.

 

[BamaMoon]

Sears, Griffey and Estrada have 39 of our 46 points. No Mo D in first half?

Other than hoping they cool down in the second half from 3 or we are toast.

I think the offensive adjustment we need to make is to run the high pick and roll with Nelson more. If a big is going to touch the ball it doesn't need to be Pringle.

 

[bvandegraff]

Hope the guys know this game is still winnable. UNC can’t possibly stay that hot from 3, can they?

 

[bamamc1]

Just got to keep playing hard. I know we will. If we had 3 guys back from last year, this tournament is over. RTR

That was the plan with Cadeau and Trimble those guys are not good 3 point shooters. UNC has a lot of weapons you have to pick your poison. If those guys hit you tip your cap and hope they miss next one.

 

[Lifer]

Defense wins championships and we are not playing defense, never mind championship defense. Hoping second half we get after it.

 

[Cruiser]

Hope the guys know this game is still winnable. UNC can’t possibly stay that hot from 3, can they?

We shot 50 percent from 3, can we keep that up? Probably need to

 

[TIDE-HSV]

So far, they are playing our game better

Can they do it for 20 more? Their fan line has been how they're craftier and better on defense and shot selection and just don't run down and throw it up. Of course several others have managed to keep up. Also, our best 3 pt shooter is absent...
