Saw that Harper has the body to not allow Liddell back in towards the basket like he loves to do. Now, just gotta keep em off the boards.

Lots of energy both sides, but I think we are rattling them. If only we can grab the defensive rebounds. No bad foul trouble I like our chances in 2nd half. Need Ron to wake up and also go back to some arc on FTs missing 2 of 3 hurt.
Foul shooting will be huge in game like this
I feel they will call thec2nd half tighter
Expect Holtzman to have his players draw them on us..starting with Cliff

BTN mutes out the arena noise. FS1 does the exact opposite for the broadcast.
OSU has good size and are playing a physical brand of basketball. Refs are letting them play. Need to find a way to limit second chances otherwise we are wasting some pretty good defense for the first 25 seconds of the shot clock.
A big part of Lack of transition offense is coaching philosophy. Our ooor offensive efircnecy numbers can get a nice helping hand if we do more in transition. Always been my thought with this team
Ron needs to start attacking the rim he HAS to in order to win in the second half. Paul just needs to keep doing what he’s doing and Geo needs to keep scoring and we NEED boards
This half reminded me of the first half of Sparty minus our scoring drought when Miller came in. More open looks in half court for opponent than for us, good D mixed in, and RU hitting tough half court shots with transition offense bridging the gap
Agreed. Not quiet at all to me. Granted, not as live as it would be if we were up double digits like the other night.
They’re taking Paul out of the game.
Harper needs to get some energy on offense

Not a good matchup for Reiber tonight. Can’t leave Cliff out for long.
Bottom line, these refs will take any chance we have away
