GOOOOOLLLLLDDDDDENNNN!!!1

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Did they just say Shaq added 10 lbs of muscle this year? Holy moly.

 

[Curtis_for_Three-eeeeee]

This announcer is way too happy.

Black unis. Nice.

 

[Curtis_for_Three-eeeeee]

Did they just say Shaq added 10 lbs of muscle this year? Holy moly.

In addition to adding a three point shot. If Slam Ball was still a sport, he would be the greatest player ever.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

The announcers are on the verge of unstoppable giggles.

I'm guessing mai tais.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Wait do they have a Rashad Smith?

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I LOVE LOCAL BANDS AND CHEER AT THESE TOURNEYS.

The ones in Vegas were fun last year.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Fantastic battle for the offensive board by Smitty leading to a Shaq layup.

And a lovely assist by Woodard.

This pace is noticeable faster than last year. *hyperventillates*

 

[Curtis_for_Three-eeeeee]

Nice start. Bad no-call on Ray, but we'll take it. Shaq prolly got away with a couple of travels. The star for Indiana State sweats a lot. Does he have the flu?

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Juice is loose.

 

[Curtis_for_Three-eeeeee]

These guys can't defend Juice. Ergo, THE JUICE IS LOOSE!!!

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I guess I don't understand the offensive foul change at all. Was that just bc Dre lowered his shoulder? That defender was moving with him all the way to the basket.

 

[barrister1602]

We've gone cold

 

[nevadanatural]

Another cold first half.

 

[jesterondirt]

Lots of fouls on us

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Are these the same officials as Friday? Lots of whistles.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

We're on pace for like 40 team fouls.

Absurd.

 

[jesterondirt]

As long as we keep it close we should have the depth to play through these fouls. We just can't let it get to far out of reach also

 

[t-townpod]

Yes

 

[nevadanatural]

Ticky tack fouls right and left. It's like the refs are saying "look at me, I'm important". Let the kids play.

 

[t-townpod]

Not sure I can figure this team out. Been the same for over 2 years. Either the whole team is on or the whole team is cold. Weird. As always, Birt is so important to this team and has been really off so far tonite

 

[TUBballJunkie]

This is like NBA misery foul calls, just do the Harden and run into people out of control through the lane.

Yuck yuck yuck.

 

[I.I.]

Need TK.

 

[panicstricken]

So is this what the first half of the Ohio game looked like?

 

[t-townpod]

Need TK.

Really, trying to force it inside to Big E!!!

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Did we abandon running an offense?

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Really, trying to force it inside to Big E!!!

Actually a decent pass but he just mishandled. :-/

 

[I.I.]

Anybody else think we are going too deep and too long in the bench? We have inexperience against ISU's best right now. Good experience but getting us in another hole.

 

[t-townpod]

Actually a decent pass but he just mishandled. :-/

I know it was a good pass but there is no way we should be trying to get the ball to Big E Ever!

 

[nevadanatural]

So is this what the first half of the Ohio game looked like?

Pretty much, fewer fouls but Ohio was hitting everything from three.

 

[t-townpod]

Pretty much, fewer fouls but Ohio was hitting everything from three.

Problem is the shooting. 1/6 from the 3 and around 40% from the field will not get it done.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Was JUST thinking Curtis had been invisible until that steal.

 

[jesterondirt]

Not much going our way so far. Luckily Indiana State isn't exactly shooting lights out either.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Birt is frozen solid.

 

[barrister1602]

Keep driving to the hoop

 

[I.I.]

Birt is frozen solid.

Birt is our streakiest player ..miss 10 make 3...

Remember the 2000 team was only behind in one game at halftime I believe. This team plays so many funky combinations from the 15:00 minute mark to the 7:00 minute mark and has lost ground almost every time during those minutes. A hole to start the second half but we are 7-8 points better.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

33% shooting, 4 assists, 8 turnovers isn't a winning combination. Seems like we are playing too much one on one & not setting up teammates with open shots. Shaq can pull off the 1 on 3 drives, but Curtis, Birt & Woodard can't.

 

[astonmartin708]

Starting to think Birt and Curtis shouldn't see minutes together. You can't have two extremely streaky shooters on the floor at once.
