Men’s BB vs USM - Tomball Owl - 01-03-2019 04:18 PM
Not a good start. Down 14-5. Shooting 20% from the field.

18-9 USM 11:40. Seems like some more embarrassing defense.

The IBEW commercial that constantly runs on Rice Athletics games has a pointed slogan... "Skilled labor isn't cheap..."
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - Tomball Owl - 01-03-2019 04:26 PM
Owls start hitting some shots. Close to 19-23 with a little over 9 minutes to play in 1H.
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - Tomball Owl - 01-03-2019 04:30 PM
Unfortunately, USM not missing many shots. Shooting 60% from the field. Owls down 23-29 with h just iver 7 minutes to go in half.

USM 42
Rice 33
Halftime
USM with two 3's to end the half, one off a steal/from halfcourt.
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - Tomball Owl - 01-03-2019 04:42 PM
33-36 with 40 seconds left in 1H. 8-10 from the line has helped the Owls stay close.

Espn saying 42-33 with 2 USM 3 pt makes in last 14 sec. Grrrrr!

Laughable to allow two threes in 14 seconds to end a half.*
*Sounds like the threes were more unlucky than anything.

Allowing a quick steal after the 1st at 0:14 will do that.
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - Tomball Owl - 01-03-2019 04:48 PM
Owl starters have 14 points in 1st half. 14?????

The first one was coming out and rolled back in the second a bank shot from half court...just bad luck on those two after closing the gap.

The kids plus Martin continue to produce the bulk of our scoring. Thankfully Pera starts Martin the 2nd half.

Thanks. I'm not watching so good to know they were more luck-based. Don't want to be unnecessarily critical so I'll make a note on the original post.

Season ticket holder of the game was Bob Reinhold, seen here getting his basket of Fruitloops...err Fruit.

Not to jinx it, but really great defense after that first 10 minutes.
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - Tiki Owl - 01-03-2019 05:19 PM
Owls on. a 24-6 run.
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - elw4796 - 01-03-2019 05:25 PM
We have these absurd runs where it's like we forget how to play. By and large we've played a good game, but we go up 9 and then give up 8 points in like 1:30.
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - Tomball Owl - 01-03-2019 05:27 PM
Consistency. Or rather the lack of it.
RE: Men’s BB vs USM - elw4796 - 01-03-2019 05:29 PM
Little 7-0 spurt by and large thanks to Williams. Good to see him making a positive impact.
