ESPN graphic: Golden Hurricanes. Ugh

Thats on plus or USF the conference knows better.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Time to turn up the defensive heat

 

[TU4ever2]

You know the best thing about how good our defense has been the last few years is we get shot clock violations. Even when we don't rebound well we get a couple of those every game as stops

 

[URedskin54]

Rachal’s hands are so quick

 

[TulsaFan2000]

Richie’s making the haters eat their words. So glad he’s in the starting lineup now

 

[I.I.]

Richie returns! Beautiful release when confident.

 

[nevadanatural]

We start each half strong, let’s see if we can avoid the letdown we had in the first half.

 

[Henry Kendall]

We are so much better with Brandon playing

 

[I.I.]

Richie or Haywood? Today it is Richie though Haywood doing okay everywhere except 3 point shooting. Richie can make 4-5 of those in a hurry.

 

[TU4ever2]

Defense leads to easy shots that make easy baskets.

Ugboh showing why we need to continue to develop him, to match up with some of the bigger front lines we may face especially if we make the tourney.

 

[Henry Kendall]

We are very active on D, jumping in the passing lanes

 

[I.I.]

First 5 minutes second half !

I like that both have started attacking the hoop when missing. We need one on shooter out of those two and KES. Then if everybody else can just make the open ones they get Jackson and Rachal will tear up the defense on drives and Idowu will be one on one in the post.

First 5 minutes second half !

Rachel Rachel Rachel Richie Richie Richie wow

 

[TUcandoit]

Haith really is a great coach when it comes to finding the problem and fixing it at half.

 

[nevadanatural]

When Richie is confident and in rhythm he’s deadly. He plays some decent D also.

 

[I.I.]

The steals have been the key today. Reminds me of 2000 team steals.

 

[loca2874]

Loving this second half so far. Lets put this away!!!

Of the season or the game.......j/k kind of lol

The Haith haters on this forum aren’t going to like this. Although it’s true

 

[Henry Kendall]

Love a good defensive steal and runout

 

[TU_BLA]

I love the little pick and pop action from Rachal and Ritchie there. That will be there 95% of the time because if you don’t help on the potential of Rachal getting to the middle of the lane, he’s going to dunk it on you. There should be a lot more of that going on when the other team shows us man defense. Glad to see Frank leaving the 5 on the floor.

 

[nevadanatural]

Come on guys, pass the ball!

 

[TU4ever2]

First time in the last three games Joiner stopped his dribble with out knowing what he was going to do. Then adds a bad defensive play to it.

No big heads here need to play smart team ball.

 

[nevadanatural]

Rey is off today.

 

[URedskin54]

We’re starting to see some really good stuff from this team. Even the decisions on when to take a risk and when not to are getting better fast. Hope this continues

 

[TU4ever2]

Hero ball will kill this. Quit trying to beat your defender and beat the defense KES

 

[TU4ever2]

Perfect example, thats the play we want

Great cut kes great pass rachal

 

[TU4ever2]

Jackson!!

 

[nevadanatural]

This is not our best lineup but they’re hanging in there.

 

[TulsaFan2000]

This is not our best lineup but they’re hanging in there.

Any lineup with Haywood is not our best lineup

 

[I.I.]

We had a TV announcer saying how well we move without the ball. I think that is one of the biggest improvements since game 2.

Probably the only intelligent thing they’ve said all game.

 

[Henry Kendall]

Good sequence there. Continuing solid D.

 

[TUcandoit]

These announcers are hard to listen to on +

 

[nevadanatural]

Great cut kes great pass rachal

Something we sometimes miss when we see him with double digit scoring or rebounding is that Brandon is a good passer also. That fastball to Jackson earlier is a perfect example.
