9 min till tip-off!

GO TU!!!

 

[URedskin54]

I like the starting lineup

 

[Loca5174]

I do as well. They produce consistent results.

 

[Loca5174]

Flagrant 1 is a good call for that

 

[Loca5174]

Stop with the three’s

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Wow…That was an awful substitution group. Not sure about Draine. He really struggles with lateral movement…I hope he isn’t injured.

We can’t run a zone.

 

[URedskin54]

Pritchard is really playing hard on D.

 

[Loca5174]

Sloppy pass by KES

 

[Loca5174]

Getting those long rebounds

 

[URedskin54]

Looks like the coaches got after the guys about chasing long rebounds in practice after that Utah game

 

[t-townpod]

Worst defense ever by a TU team

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Just imagine if we hadn’t renewed Frank year in and year out.

 

[I.I.]

Nice to see KES on bench finally. Haywood at least does other things. Idowu and Griffin are the offense.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

We don’t have an answer for #1 right now.

 

[Loca5174]

Looks like the coaches got after the guys about chasing long rebounds in practice after that Utah game

My exact thoughts. Those killed is against Utah

 

[URedskin54]

Jackson starting to find the 3 pt range again

 

[Loca5174]

Glad draine finally made one right after he turned it over. He has not impressed me yet.

 

[I.I.]

Wainwright PLEASE come back to coach defense.

 

[t-townpod]

Amazed how we can’t cover the three with good ball movement and can’t cover dribble penetration. Hard to be bad at both on same possesion

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

This edition of TU basketball is so so undersized, they’re gonna have to decide to play super nasty man to man D to be competitive.

 

[URedskin54]

officials still have no interest in calling travels. Really don’t think I’ll enjoy college becoming NBA ball

 

[Loca5174]

Yooler up by 4 at the half

 

[TU 1978]

KES and Haywood should be superglued to the bench for the second half.

 

[libertychamp]

Yooler up by 4 at the half

A loss to yoolar would be worse than cal davis on football Haith is a lot like Montgomery let’s see if Frank makes great half time adjustments and we win going away don’t hold your breath on that

 

[URedskin54]

A loss to yoolar would be worse than cal davis on football

No

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Well…

We’re leading about every offensive statistical category after a half…but are down by 4.

A few items…
1. Griffin is a really good player.
2. We struggle playing team defense. A zone is impossible. Man will need to improve.
3. UALR has the best player on the floor.

The teams are very evenly matched. If we play well, we have a chance to win.

 

[URedskin54]

Kenpom had us as 13 point favorites coming in. Vegas was similar

[t-townpod]

Continue to play help double on defense but we don’t press on the double enough so offense has no trouble regrouping and gaining advantage from scramble defense

 

[URedskin54]

There are two halves

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

I definitely wish we were 13 points better. The TU program I used to follow was definitely 15+ points better than UALR.

Not this one.

 

[nevadanatural]

Just make our free throws and the game is even. We’re rebounding well but you can’t give away points at the line.

 

[Loca5174]

There are two halves

You have said more than I wanted too. College Basketball is a game of two halves.

 

[Loca5174]

I would like Dalger to go to the hair style he had I. Florida. He shot better

 

[Loca5174]

Just figured out who Draine reminds me of. Big Worm from the movie Friday

 

[Loca5174]

4 minutes in and we have outscored them 8-1

 

[TU 1978]

Dalger needs to be in the game.

Apparently weak superglue was used to glue Haywood to the bench. Dammit.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

No

Don’t worry. Frank already ate his DII loss.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Idowu playing great.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Frank will need to shrink his rotation even more, pending foul trouble.
