Yeah the complaints from a few people that we're not any better on offense are way off. We had very few big halves like this last year(or even the good years before that) and it's happening with regularity this year
I honestly think this is the worst rebounding team TU has had since I’ve been a TU fan. Absolutely atrocious.
We are getting careless with our passing and it is resulting in some TOs and easy baskets and all of a sudden it’s a 12 pt game. UCA is overplaying every pass and they’re crashing on the offensive glass because at this point they have nothing to lose.
Cut out the TOs and I doubt it matters.

UCA coach is a clown show. He argued the offensive foul where I guy got hit in the neck. Then was calling for a moving screen when Junior was somehow behind two of their guys and Taplin was looking at this and dribbling. I told him he was stupid and didn’t know the rules. He sort of argued back but I think he agreed.
He’s got an awesome mustache tho. Sam Elliott lookalike. I want to ask him for a sasparilla.
They’ve called a dozen travels. I don’t think a dozen travels have been called in NBA this year. Everyone seems to have mellowed our this half. Sam Elliott even quit yelling.
We started slow but have played very well since. I actually think our rebounding is better than in recent games. Lots of long shots result in lots of long rebounds.
I’m talking the ridiculous jump into players and call the defender for a foul even though he’s backing off the play.
As meh as we have played this half, we still have a 16 pt lead. Now if Etou can slow himself down half a beat and understand the situation maybe he won’t jack up a 3 at his earliest convenience.
Right now Igbanu-Etou-Taplin-Henderson-Scott on the floor. Would love to see Jeffries in there for Scott and see if our rebounding doesn’t improve with that 5

100% agree, especially the careless ones for lazy passes. I can take the occasional travel or a pass that is not handled or fumbled. But lazy, lack of concentration passes kill me
Woke up feeling like crap, had to go back to sleep, didn't wake up till almost halftime. Pissed off because the one game I didn't feel like going to and they didn't have on regular tv or espn3. Let me get this straight? Play a little sloppy on turnovers, rebounded like crap, defense semi decent, offense pretty good, and didn't shorten the bench? Oh and Henderson finally shooting like we hoped for.
Haith told the broadcast crew we might have to shorten the bench, guess he'll wait till we're losing?

Good summation. We have played 11 guys but Korita, and Artison were barely out there. In fact, until I checked the box score just now I’d forgotten Korita came in during the 1sthalf.
I’ve never seen such a bunch of grumpy guses. TU scores 92 points, wins by 20 and you grab one stat line and spend the entire game “grumble, grumble, grumble”. Sit back, enjoy life and say “good game Hurricane”.
I agree with you in one sense, but on another it is a weakness we have had that will repeatedly kill us in games against better teams. So there's that. It's kind of a future ***** without the, "Go Hurricane!" that should accompany the future tense *****.
One disadvantage of them shooting badly is they miss a lot of shots, which means they have a lot of chances for offensive rebounds. They missed 40 shots. Giving up offensive rebounds on half the missed shots is bad no doubt but holding them to 38% shooting will make the absolute number look worse. Illinois State by comparison only had 8 offensive rebounds and how'd that work out for us? When you hit all your shots, you don't get many offensive rebounds.
With them missing that many shots we should have hammered them in total rebounds. Defensive rebounds are the easy ones to get so rebounding numbers generally look worse when the other team shoots well. When they shoot poorly, you should win rebounding

When can you watch the game archived if you have a subscription? It doesn't alow me at this me.
I've always had to wait a day. It doesn't archive immediately like ESPN3.
