Where is young SkyWalker. He due.

Even numbered day, Craft will not be shooting.

They’ve had some weak and-1 calls

Hope the offense can hit some shots in the 2H

We are the dumbest fouling team in the post

Not taking care of the ball the last couple of minutes.

Goddamnit we defend that possession perfectly and some dude who can’t throw it in the ocean hits a contested 3…

Stop fouling as much and we win easily

Too much panic again on this thread. Pop a quallude. Shit, pop two. It’ll be fine. We playing good. I always think the sky is falling and then I look at the box and I see we are basically tied. Shots don’t always fall. Kids don’t always do your bidding when you want them to but…we winning this. So pop the lude.

Shooting percentages down, especially compared to Kent.
But, close at half.

We’ll see in the second half.

Agree. We started ice cold and built some momentum as the half went on, I don’t think Kent can ride Sullinger the to a win unless someone else on their team steps up.

They’re playing decent ball, but not cut-down-the-nets ball. From my perspective, they left a lot on the table with sloppy ball-handling and poor footwork in the defensive post, which isn’t good since both MAC semifinals tonight have been ref shows. If they can do a better job of taking care of the ball in the second half and clean up their post defense, they’ll be fine. Kent has been focused on stopping Craft from going off, but if they pivot to slowing down Suder, Kam should get some cleaner looks.

We’re doing some good things. And there are things to improve on.

The good starts with our effort on the boards again. They only had 2 offensive rebounds. We’re doing a good job against Davis, showing double with the right defenders and walling up against him. If he makes elbow jumpers, fine. We were better against Sullinger as the half went on. The first 3s were inexcusable. The 4th 3 with the pushoff, nothing you could do there. Woolfolk made a great jump out on him denying him a shot. That’s the play. Kent is doing a good job running tight double staggered screens or a low screen to free him up. Our big needs to jump it so our guard can get out there. Nothing you could do about the Medley 3, that was well defended.

Offensively, more patience again. The looks we got early were fine, but at some point, the guys should look for higher percentage shots so they can see one go in. Then work back outside. I like Suder in the post against their smaller guards. I liked the Elmer mid-range pullup. His last 2 3 attempts weren’t good shots. Potter is rushing to get his 3 off, a couple of those weren’t good shots. When we reversed the ball, we had some more success. Kent is doing a good job hedging hard on the high pick and roll, and they’re clogging the lane on the big guy slipping. Let’s see if we run some more set plays and our double elbow V pick stuff to change it up some.

And keep our poise. It’s going to be a tightly fought game. We’ve got to hang in there.

Can’t defend without fouling

These refs don’t call anything against kent

I’m losing my mind, my wife might kill me.

Duke has gacked up its lead over UNC, so I’m losing it on both screens.
