Great finish to the half!

Now let's start fast in the second half and put this on ice

Good energy and ball movement to close out the half. Cut down on the sloppy turnovers and run them out of the gym 2nd half.

Thatta boy Curt!

No idea why Watson does not get more time. He seems to bring energy when he plays.

There is a rule in the NCAA that you can only play 8 guys until the last 2 minutes (if a team is up by 30).

What a refreshing half.

 

[madguy30]

Sparty down a bunch at half to an Oregon team that's been pretty average.

Basketball's kinda funny.

Gameday is in town and we get the random Big 12 highlights without any commentary halftime show.

ESPN is such garbage. Like a high school production compared to CBS.

 

[Erik4Cy]

TCU is not good. Take away all their hope in the first five or so mins, please and thank you.

MSU has been a paper tiger all year. Their schedule is getting much more tough

True but Oregon just looks much more organized today.

Point being one game or week doesn't make a basketball team 'as is'.

Team is kinda rounding back into form. Just need Gilbert to snap out of his funk and we’re back to being a FF contender.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Good finish to the half. Once someone heats up the team gets more separation and then plays better. A Momcilovic three today would be fun. Hope this is a sign that the team is figuring things out.

Not sure I love playing Watson zero minutes, especially when Heise gives you nothing, just sets a bad tone.

Um, we’re up 18 at half. How’s that a bad tone?

 

[CyGuy5]

TCU is terrible, please mercy kill these guys in the first 5 mins of the half.

 

[ClubCy]

Glad Jones is hot again but Milan still needs to shoot it when he's out there. If not for today for down the road. ISU is going to win this game either way, but he needs to hit a couple of threes.

Relax pal it’s his first 20 minutes back. You can already see the spacing is better

I know this has been addressed at length, but just a reminder, they play different positions.

Not a bad tone. It would be nice to see one of the people who could spell a forward once in a while when we're using Heise for both guards and forwards. Watson shouldn't only be brought in for emergencies worth the lack of O production Heise causes. I think that it the longer version of their point.

 

[Skyh13]

Passing has got to be better. Shooting 71% is incredible but not sustainable. You can’t be throwing away possessions.

 

[CYDJ]

I know this has been addressed at length, but just a reminder, they play different positions.

Actually sometimes no. Heise spells small forwards too. Had this last half.

In a mood today?

Fair enough.
