NU vs La Salle (2nd half thread)

[VirginiaWildcat]

since nobody has started one yet...

We looked amazing in first half! Shot sixty percent in first half

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Team looks fantastic so far! Shooting well, solid D. Falzon hits a trey. Hope we can get the lead up to 30 and give some of these starters a break!

NU will need Falzon for the next game against Texas Tech. Need to get him back in the game flow.

Would be nice to build a lead and let BMac, Law and Lindsey get some rest. Team looks solid.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Welcome back Falzon!

 

[Kelly_32]

Told you guys that Bryant worked on his shot a lot this off season. Makes him even more dangerous.

 

[Jonny2TheP]

Very strong last ten minutes of the half. Really turned up the defensive intensity. Let’s keep it rolling in the 2nd half so we can rest starters the last ten minutes.

 

[Kelly_32]

The Creighton game woke our defense up.

 

[Wrestlerneverdiesasacatfan]

Dam good team! Smoking a decent team!

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Suddenly we look pathetic for 2 minutes and give up a 10-0 run. Not acceptable...

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Yikes. Awful play in the 2nd half. Terrible.

 

[scru]

So little intensity right now. Lazy passing, standing around on O, no switching on D. Ugly.

 

[heet75]

we need Sanjay back. No defensive intensity

 

[TheC]

Falzon has now splashed his last three 3's in a row. 11 big much needed points from Aaron.

 

[TheC]

Lead back up to 18... D intensity picked back up

 

[VirginiaWildcat]

Geez...lost by 14 in the 2nd half.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Have to be pleased with the effort today. We withstood a big run and hung tough. About that bench....

Last 5 possessions with Brown at the helm an absolute disaster. No ball movement, multiple turnovers and all ended with impossible shots. Not a good sign if pressed into service

They were awful possessions, but in his defense Collins was just having him take the air out of the ball with no movement until 10 seconds on the shot clock. But yeah, an ugly last several possessions. No doubt about it.

Good thing the NCAA doesn’t score wins/losses by half.

I agree, but if you want more PT you have to do something you're not doing....in Brown's case that's pass better....there were better options available than him taking those shots

If we have to play a backup point guard, it's most definitely Ash right now.

 

[TheC]

If we have to play a backup point guard, it's most definitely Ash right now.

And that's who went in to give BMac breathers. Isaiah is slipping further down the bench.

 

[mct_]

I may have been a bit harsh he was running out the clock and he had flashes of brilliance last year. Just seemed lost bringing up the ball and as others pointed out shot selection was poor

 

[Medill90]

he's just got to get his head right

Sorry but Brown is simply not a PG. Use Lindsey to give Mac a blow and us Ash in less important minutes.
