Lairy killing us on defense. Late getting through screens, not forcing his man to go wide around them. But Smith and Mirambeaux absolutely coming through. Mirambeaux might be one of the best passers on the team.
Shout out to Will Stevens for solid defense on their best offensive player.
Defense is forcing difficult shots. 3’s have hands in the face, 2’s are off balance or deep. Doubling their big men is working well. Lairy played some better defense between last TV timeout and this, but still need a bit more out of him.
I am at osu vs mich. But great half
Up 43-27 at the half. Is Billy Smith him? 5-6 from deep.
From team manager to starter. Who’s going to play Will Stevens in the feel good Lifetime movie of the year?
He’s a shooter. Really happy to see Mabrey start to show what he can do. 3-6 from deep as well. Those two can help open up our big men.
Smith also plays great defense.
Basically trying to duplicate my tennis career this guy is. I’m a fan!
Sloppy start to second half. Steele not happy with D.
Little Rock getting hot
Offense looks very disjointed right now.
And the defense has looked a step behind. I’m not upset with the offense. We’ve had open looks but haven’t finished.
Much better D last 2 ALR possessions
Last offensive possession much better ball movement
13-27 from 3. What’s our record for treys in a game? Is it still 16?
It wasn’t so much them getting hot as us not playing good D. Last couple possessions much better
Anderson M having a great second half on both ends of the court
I think Mirambeaux hedges the screen up top much better than Morris. Part of that is just age/experience, but Mirambeaux really gives Lairy a chance to catch up without leaving the big man open on the roll. That’s part of why I think the lead grew once he came back in.
What a game so far. OSU man-to-man defense needs to tighten up.
Miami seems to have weathered the storm.
