GDT: Hungry for some wolves

[JettFlight5]

Down 6 after an awful first half.

That could have been a lot worse.

[billikenbill]

Thank God for Yuri Collins. Down 6 at the half.

[slufan13]

A lot of credit to NC State. That's about as bad as we can play. Our seniors look awful 

[Taj79]

Only down 6 at half.  With little from the big three.

[White Pelican]

Lots to clean up for the second half. This looks like a wake up call. Way too many turnovers and sloppy play. 

[Pistol]

35-29 at half. Rough one to watch but it's far from over. Still, we need to be a different second half team to have a shot at winning this. NC State missed some open looks, benefitted from some unforced errors. Could be worse.

[slu72]

Yurimania our leading scorer. Go figure. Damn. Best comment: Highmark, noon ball at the YMCA. 

[hmart23]

Can someone go explain to Jordan what baseline is at half? Stepped on it three times. 

[Old guy]

Not looking good, too many turnovers. Too many runs coast to coast. Bad shooting.

[3star_recruit]

Yuri dropping it off the window at the buzzer while double teamed like he was still at St. Mary's.  Second half question: how do we counter a team that's just as fast as we are and has a 6'10 version of French?

Painful truth.

No one from SLU has a case for the league if any scouts get a hold of tonight's video.

Perkins better get used to getting roughed up, because if he doesn’t respond in the second half everyone is going to do it from here on out.

This, with the exception of Yuri. He's done what he had to do to keep us in it.

Most of them are diving into the stands because someone else made a horrible pass. Not entirely his fault 

[Clocktoweraccords2004]

Draw fouls, put them in foul trouble and watch how soon they let us run to the basket

[dlarry]

It didn’t seem like they had much of a game plan that half. 
 

Trying to tire them out maybe? 
Only thing I can think of because that was gross.

[wgstl]

Good news bad news

 

Good news, its not possible to miss that many high propability shots again.

Bad news, Bates only has 1 foul.

[CBFan]

The turnovers are so frustrating.

I do not understand coach Ford not putting in Bell to defend Bates.

Second half I come out with Bell, French, Goodwin Collins and Perkins.

French needs to defend Hellems Bell on Bates.

[billikenbill]

Three positives from the half: 1. Yuri 2. Gibson hitting two threes 3. We outrebounded them 26-14. Got to play much better.

The negatives were plentiful but how about this one: Layups 6-16.

A) this is true. B he did miss 3 wide open shots from close range.  He just doesnt have it right now.  Hoping it changes now

[Duff Man]

We look like a team adjusting to the difference in difficulty between Easy and Hard

[slufan13]

I was hoping Jimerson was going to catch fire but he didn't touch the ball after hitting back to back 3s

[Pistol]

When Collins has 6 FTA and 6 FGA at half, it's a bad sign. If he had 6 assists at half, that would be a different story.

[Dr. Holly Hills]

I’m gonna go kick the neighbor’s cat.. brb

[wgstl]

When bates is in, if you're gonna drive you have to drive to him.  Thats what Yuri is doing, and no one else. 

[TheA_Bomb]

Cut down on TOs and we can win this

 

They have a short bench so I was hoping for foul trouble.   Maybe the physicality will take it's toll on them in the 2nd half
