Don’t like much of what they are running on offense at all.

 

[madguy30]

Milan to lottery lol

So far him, R. Jones and Gilbert should be benched according to CF.

Let's see what that line up looks like!

 

[cstrunk]

Just keep at it.

 

[Erik4Cy]

BRE & Momcilovic both struggling. Hate to see it.

Curtis needs some help guys

 

[NYCYFan]

moment is too big for Momcilovic, he looks awful

Too slow footed and slow with his decision making. He's only a Freshman so it's not unexpected but just really bad timing for him to go through freshman moments.

 

[AllInForISU]

Damask brought his traveling shoes tonight. Sheesh.

Refs have been BAD this year watching the pivot foot. I’ve seen players move over 3 feet on their pivot this year. It’s crazy.

Just not gonna win with Milan not scoring

Yep, our margin for error offensively so small and obviously we all love Milan and he has had some great games, but he’s not at the level yet where he won’t disappear.

 

[cyatheart]

Need to keep Watson or ward in the floor with the guards and we can win this

 

[Cardinal2001]

get over that hump

 

[CYDJ]

OK, get an other 2 this possession. We've got a lot of time.

 

[Halincandenza]

I still don’t understand why Milan doesn’t utilize back cuts when he’s played so high on the perimeter

No one seems to be

 

[ISU_Guy]

one thing that really needs to be sorted out for next year is getting good looks.
normally we make tough shots, but we shouldn't have to do this.
we take really hard shots. all the time.

 

[cyclones500]

Getting panicked again. Stuff that got us back a bit early in the half seems to have reverted to first half.

 

[hiltonisheaven]

In this game, only way Milan gets a clean look is if they drive and kick to him for 3. He’s not athletic enough to get himself open against IL.

 

[CycloneErik]

Going to have to get really hot from three I think to pull this off.

Not really. A couple stops followed by scores cuts this in half. Hold steady for a bit, do that again, and it's a tie or we lead. Don't really need anything dramatically great to happen. We can grind to a win.

Now, a cat 5 explosion would be just fine, too, but it doesn't take a ton here.

 

[Nococy]

Lol damask should be fouled out by now

didn’t know you could push with your off arm while dribbling

 

[Gunnerclone]

Momcilavic might not make a shot tonight

And if it happens THAT will be why we lose. It’s not just his points, it’s how he opens up everything else when he’s scoring.

 

[RezClone]

Big "what if"
Two halves of this and we win.

But it is what it is

 

[cyclones12321]

Still only down 8. Just got to play our best ball now and we win this

 

[DSMCy]

Good time for one of those 10-0 runs
