[TU 1978]

We didn't get in the top 20 because of the power 5 bias.

 

[I.I.]

Putting in two post men.

 

[astonmartin708]

We are drawing fouls but none of them are shooting fouls. We can't get a foul near the basket. It's all on the guards outside. BS.

 

[TU 1978]

Were the Franks yelling at each other before they cut away for the commercial?

 

[t-townpod]

FT's seem to be a positive right now. How long til Murphys law kicks in for that too?

No we are not there because we do not deserve it yet

 

[jesterondirt]

We should get free Arbys melts

 

[TU 1978]

We should get free Arbys melts

Some on here may be melting already.

No Haith was yelling at one of the refs about a no call, I'm assuming on Woodard's drive on the 2nd to last possession where he was clearly bumped.

 

[Bill Lowery]

Under 10 at the half. Gotta keep coming back.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Down by 9 at half, calling the game in a way that favors SC bigs, a lot on our platter to figure out.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

"The Franks" made me laugh.

 

[TULOYAL]

Sadly, Harrison is still one-dimensional and ineffective against taller teams. He is one of the best I've ever seen at creating at the basket but when that is not an option, he is not an offensive threat and possibly a liability. Cincy, SMU, and UConn will own us again if our outside shooting doesn't improve.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Time to see if SC can handle our 2nd half defensive pressure. Forcing TOs that lead to transition baskets is the only way I see us coming back.

 

[I.I.]

Juice needs to get his points. I don't think Brown is the scorer we need. I like the Dre effort. Swannegan looks good if he will stop pushing. Need some threes by Curtis and Ray. They will be wide open. Every free throw is crucial tonight.

 

[caltunes24]

shooting/playing this poorly and only down 9 at half is amazing. Hopefully keep hitting ft's, keep them off the offensive glass and maybe make a shot or 2 and we'll have a shot

 

[jesterondirt]

Some on here may be melting already.

Just saying, Everytime we melt, and then come back we should get free arbys melts.

 

[cmullinsTU]

If we use the same pressure and drive the paint like we did the last 2 games we will get their scorers in foul trouble. I think we still have a good chance but can't wait to go on a run as late in the 2nd half as we did the last two games to win this one.

 

[RealTUTypical]

Agreed with drawing fouls on their bigs. We win by 5.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

A slow, half court game favors them. A frantic helterskelter game favors us. We need to press & push tempo.

 

[TU 1978]

We need a defense. That, and better control on offense.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

How's about a steal or two?

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Heyyyy two fairly fast breaks there!

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Over the back DOES still exist!

 

[TU 1978]

Speaking of 'ranked' teams, isn't the ranking of SMU irrelevant since they forfeit any chance of winning the conference because of cheating?

 

[TU_BLA]

SMU basketball is irrelevant this year. They are basically relegated to being a very good spoiler

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Apparently they aren't eligible to be ranked in the coaches poll? So that makes total sense...

 

[StoopsBros]

Jordan with 2 threes this half

Chatkevicius with 3 fouls

 

[StoopsBros]

Birt has 4 fouls

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Ticky ticky ticky fouls this half.

 

[JesseTU]

My wife has confiscated the TV in the bedroom, my son is watching some damn documentary for school. My laptop is at work.

I'm now blind people.

I hate being right... But size has kept us effectively out of the lane and we can't shoot. We need to scrap a win here

Keep me posted.

 

[TU_BLA]

So now you can't block someone out?

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Yeah that was a crappy call on Marquel.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

SC already in the bonus.

Another whistle. Lordy.

Big problem is we are going back to trying to drive against trees instead of ball movement that got us back in the game

12:23 left

 

[TU_BLA]

The refs are making the college game damn near impossible to watch

 

[I.I.]

Juice's game. Harrison for steals. Dre is toughest I have seen him this year.

 

[TU_BLA]

Just put someone on the line every trip. Refs think the game is about them
