Needed that

Tamin prevents this thing from being a total disaster of a half.

 

[ISUAlum2002]

Whew. Made it respectable right at the end of the half. Completely brutal showing up until then.

 

[Thomasrickj]

We needed those last six points of the half. Good work and it gives us a little bit of hope.

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

Honestly, we’re only down nine and I don’t think we can play any worse. I’ll take it all things considered.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Down by 9 doesn’t feel so bad after that half!

 

[CYedUp]

Nice finish. Wish it was halftime lol

 

[madguy30]

Well luckily nobody in the Big 12 has length or plays good defense either. This offense should be fine once we get past the non-conference.

Did I say that?

Not every team is going to have this kind of length on the perimeter.

VCU looks like they have a foot on everyone.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

Huge effort to get within 9.

Agreed!

A team with a black and gold color scheme shooting lights out???? We've all seen this movie before

I'm more impressed with their raw athleticism. That doesn't resemble that team we will not name, at all

(Although they have been fouling like crazy and getting away with it)

 

[ClubCy]

So in the last 3 halves against actual opponents we have scored 23,18,24.

 

[NetflixAndClone]

start the second half off on a 9-0 run.

 

[ZRF]

Lipsey! One man show the entire half.

What a gift to be down 9. Otz has a lot of work to do and the team better be ready to play a lot harder than we saw this half.

Watson needs to be on the court more.

 

[simply1]

Old guys rob and lipsey going to need to show the youngsters the ropes

 

[tim_redd]

Otz ball is back baby!

 

[Cyclonepride]

End of the half couldn't have gone better. Just awful on the offensive end all half, but pretty decent on defense. This is a great experience for our guys, because we're trying to figure out what we are going to do when the other team takes away what you like to do (short range points in the paint).

 

[loyalsons4evertrue]

There we go!!!! Good end to the half!

 

[cyclones500]

Those two 3's were major. Still not sure what consistent game plan change will work in second half, but at least the deficit narrowed.

 

[ISU22CY]

Was hoping we could get it down to 6 but anything under 10 after that **** show of a half is a win. Get a couple stops coming out of half and actually score some of the close buckets and make it a barfight and hope to come out on top to end the game
