Unless Cliff can dunk or is wide open for a shot he’s gotta be passing the ball out right away. That little hook shot just isn’t there yet but he won’t stop trying

Even though we outscored them 25-14

Its a bad half..we ended bad with no offense and playing bad D

Did everything you dont want to do vs a depleted team

Minny has confidence..this one could go either way

Pike was silly with that lineup but likely because the starters will play almost the entire 2nd half

Great fight in the half from a trash start. Just have to hope they stop hitting these crazy shots

Any way with that half done, I am completely at a loss on the substitution patterns once again. We change so often I don't know how anyone gets into a flow.

Caleb is a lousy passer.
No. No he isn't lol
Can't do anything when they're unconscious from 3
This.

These posts about what a horrible half it was are horrible. Slow start. Played decent. Minnesota just nailing 3 and making a bunch of contested tough shots. It happens. Minnesota starts missing some 3s and everyone will say how much better the D is playing

I just don’t get why we don’t push the ball on offense for a quick offense and wear them out. We slow everything down and then overthink everything.
Move the ball and move fast

Wish Pike would have tried Agee a bit. He has some semblance of a low post game.

Minnesota 7-14 from 3. and MAYBE 1 or 2 were open shots. Every other one was with a hand in the face or from well beyond the arc.

Our offense is abysmal (as always) but how about we start making shots like them too?

Yes very silly but he’s saving energy for the second of course

yes. If he keeps trying he’ll start killing us he needs to understand that hook isn’t there yet for him. He needs to pass it out for threes

We’re a better second half team. That last Minny 3 that gave them a one point lead will help get our asses in gear for the second half.

Don’t have a feel - either win by double digits or lose by a 3 hoist. Hopefully they run out of gas.
