Decent start. 1st set of subs in and we become a turnover machine. Pat hits his first. Shot, even in the miss, looks like the Birt of old.

And the defense is much much better

I would love one time to keep a 13-4 start team in the game for a while longer. But there is a "rule" (ignored by SMU) that we must sub to rest our players. The other "rule" I hate is bench with 2 fouls.

A short power outage made me miss some of the action but I hate turnovers. That series where we were up 9 with a chance to go up 11 then turn it over on a bad pass and the end up cutting the lead to 6 is this season in miniature. We're driving without a lane way too much.

Someone please explain to me how we don't have someone trying to share Cam Reynolds jersey every time Tulane has the ball. His defender should be able to tell what flavor of mouthwash Reynolds used.

This half is everything about Haith that's bothered me this year. 13-4 start....take everyone out. Playing great D....lets switch to zone. Then put in a lineup that includes Artison, Battle, Edogi and Wheeler, but no Taplin or Etou. Crazy

We've been aggressive, but it's hard to make a lot of shots when Tulane's fouling so much. Good job at the line

We didn't make a FG for the last 12:27 of the first half, we made 1of our last 19 shots & we still lead by 3 at halftime!

26% from the field and 9% from 3. Work the ball down low to Etou, Igbanu, and anyone else who can catch a damn pass and let them go to work. Smith can block Taplin and Wheeler but he's not nearly quick enough to stay with either Etou or Igbanu.

Finished 1/19 after starting 5/7. Puke!!!

We got a talent problem. No matter had good coaching is they can't put thevball in the basket.

I hope Haith's next class adds some shooting. We don't have enough of that yet.

I've given up in hoping he coaches defend the corner. That's not gonna happen with Haith in charge.

Taplin didn't throw it in to a wide open posting up Igbanu twice. He needs to learn a bounce pass since he is so small.

Wheeler is costing us. Must have tunnel vision on drives as a man is open near the basket as he gets stuffed or shoots off balance and out of control.

He's still used to being a garbage man. Trash bags are way smaller then the trash truck he's used too. Hopefully the offseason helps him realize we use a traditional basket

Wheeler played a very bad half, but actually had zero turnovers & 6 rebounds. Actually, almost everyone had a bad first half for Tulsa, other than good FT shooting.

PATTY B! You can tell he has some confidence with his shot right now despite struggling all season. He's been running back down court about a half second after releasing the shot.

Not sure how they did not credit wheeler with any turnovers. There were several drives where the possession changed with the ball in his hands or being blocked. He had a horrible first half.

Nice screen play for Birt
