15 turnovers and 16 points doesn't seem a way to win roundball

 

[iseedit]

I think we broke their spirit before the game even started.... ASU sucks and this court still sucks!

 

[Carlisle Clone]

Just gotta get this over without one of these idiots taking out somebody's knee

Or the floor doing it

 

[RonBurgundy]

Not watching the game because I'm at work. But I thought Hurley got fired? Is he still coaching?

Technically, he did not get fired. He is in the last year of his contract and methinks an extension will not be forthcoming.

 

[jdoggivjc]

That might have been the most insane defensive effort and performance I have ever seen a team dish out… and it allowed the offense time to find its rhythm and feed off the defense.

 

[Cyched]

Held them to 16 points in a half. Is that good?

 

[BigLame]

We've outscored ASU 94-40 the last 40 minutes of basketball against them.

What is our shooting percentage from the field in those 2 halves? Just curious

 

[Tpups21]

Hard to complain about that first half.

 

[cygr206]

Teams are reflections of their coach

Yes, no doubt. Have seen people on CF say they wish TJ contested unfavorable or poor calls, but to state the obvious its his steadiness, composure, and focus on moving forward which allow his teams to stay in games they should be out of. Hurleys team will not come back from this deficit - this team could and has before.

 

[Texbudman]

What are we going to do about Toure? Jeez

Let him keep playing incredible on ball pressure defense

Not happy with double digits since we didn’t break 50.

 

[2020cy]

Looks like they came ready to play.

Or football.

 

[mj4cy]

crazy they put 40+ on us in a half just a few days ago.

 

[Erik4Cy]

The question/goal for the starters and consistent contributors to start the 2nd half?

How quickly can you get these guys in the game:

 

[jsb]

That was a great half. Let’s not have an Oklahoma State second half where things get a little dicey.

 

[cymac2408]

Held them to 16 points in a half. Is that good?

Not really sure. My basketball career involved 5 fouls per game. You can’t take them home with you.

 

[ISUKyro]

ASU such an easy team to dislike.
Hope Hurley Ts himself out of employment within the first 2 mins of the 2nd half

 

[madguy30]

Yep, they should start resting some guys if they're up by 30 or so at the 10 minute mark and no reason to play Tamin anymore like you said.

This past week WI was up 30, guy tweaked an ankle, bench was cleared, it was 20 very quickly as Maryland kept playing.

Gard had to send the main crew back out.

Likely to give up 30 in ten minutes?

No but it's not that simple if ASU keeps their guys out there.
