[CycloneRulzzz]

What’s the background or who’s the guy doing the color with Chris on the radio?

former coach at nebraska-omaha

 

[Cupped]

9 first half turnovers.

 

[cytor]

Terrible

 

[madguy30]

Best half of the tournament and the most comfortable we’ve looked. Unfortunately, I think we went past comfortable to casual for the last few minutes and gave them hope and momentum.

Too much dribble into nothing offense.

The last 3 mins was the worst basketball I’ve seen in my life.

Welcome to the thread.

Keshon, I fear, will be like this all year. He can be great, and if he can stop getting so hurried will be very good, but he just gets so dumb with the ball far too often. Most of the turnovers down the stretch were him if I’m not mistaken.

I'm frickin' livid at our horsea$$ play to end the half!!!! THREE AWFUL turnovers, a terrible floater that had no chance & stupid fouls. Glad we were up by 18 so we could still maintain a double digit lead. Hopefully the meltdown to end the half will motivate the guys to come out sharper in the 2nd half.

You forgot the VCU game?

I have a short memory

 

[CoKane]

We're still gonna win this one but jesus christ these turnovers. They're not even good plays by Texas A&M. Just stupid travels or bad passes

You know A&M is gonna make a run at some point. Just want us to get as big a lead as possible before they do.

Welp, I knew the run was coming. If we could have stopped that run, I think it would have taken the life out of them. Now they feel they can win this thing.

Tamin got in Taylor's head the 1st half. I think the key will be not allowing him to go off 2nd half.

Both teams are gonna give their best shot 2nd half so it's gonna be a huge slugfest

Semantics but they were up 21.

If they continue to be impatient, the margin will flip.

 

[GTO]

We're going to need someone to put some snow on that court.

Instead of burying them, we let them back in and with momentum. I would like to see TJ stick with the same lineup a little longer

 

[CyNews]

I wanna see a Buzz TJ fight.

TJ would win going away.

A&M is still an athletic team that's playing their a$$es off, and Buzz is still a good coach.

Frustrating, but we should have never expected to coast. Need to have the guys ready to take a couple more punches and get back to what got us the big lead in the first place.

 

[Pope]

Pretty sure TJ is telling our guys that whichever team is able to impose their will in the 2nd half will win. All about who is toughest.

 

[trevn]

I’m a little concerned about us falling in love with the 3. I’m not sold on us being able to rely on that in the second half. Gotta find some looks in the paint without being out of control.
