And Preston had more than Boo at halftime.

Interesting that Martinelli wasn't on the floor during the run in the the latter parts of the second half. Mullins was out there and picked up a few fouls, but Collins must have thought it presented better matchups on D.

We outscored them the second half! Team has heart!!! Will miss Boo 😢

Every team has calls go for and against them, but across the board, I wholeheartedly agree. Traditionally, tournament officiating is MUCH better than we’ve seen so far.

It’s relative of what we’ve seen since November. I don’t know what it is about this season, but I can’t figure out why the zebras are so inconsistent. Block-charge change? Game moving too fast? Hesitation due to all the replays? Large amount of personnel turnover?

The only thing I’m sure of is that Courtney Green was not a particularly good official in 2023-2024.
