End of half possessions continues to be one of TJ’s big weaknesses.

On the bright side it was a well-played half after defense clamped down. Things the Mommy we will need to go far
Cujo could’ve pulled the trigger 2 seconds earlier.

Think he was looking at the Game Clock and not the Shot clock

I frickin' love how Heise basically has the confidence of Steph Curry right now. Major props to that guy shutting out the noise and trusting his talent.
Yes, but he is still more afraid to dribble than Caleb Grill

Overall, I think that the team doesn't look to get into their plays fast enough in those situations. It's like they are so damn determined to get the last shot that they don't care if they take a terrible shot.

I wonder if our approach with last shots of halves are driven by the same model football had with returning punts. Don't worry about scoring, just make sure the other team doesn't get any sort of possession or shot afterward. It's extremely strange how a team full of pretty high basketball-IQ guys with lots of experience have so many issues getting any sort of decent look or shot attempt. Quite baffling.

Amazing what a little confidence can do for a player.

Nice half but if Lipsey isn't healthy, it's hard to be too encouraged about the prospects of the team going forward.
Make Sweet 16 and I’m happy with how things ended with all the injuries

For a high-scoring team, Alabama is boring to watch.

Nice first half. Hope our defense can keep it up. Would like to see more out of our post guys, but Lipscomb is really collapsing.

Will be curious if Watson doesn't get some early run in the 2nd half. He can defend 3 point shooters and his explosion could be problem for Lipscomb bigs more than Jackson/Chatfield.
