Intentional foul

Keep it up, Gaines.

Refs won’t call 3 secs

Great d poss

Toney, Butta, and Ortiz make us play 2 on 5 on offense. They offer us nothing

We’re getting nothing near the rim

They’ve all been terrible today so far

As long as it's close at the half (which it looks like it will be), I'm alright. In theory, Wichita's legs should start getting heavy in the second half. Or so you'd think.

Going in the half with the lead

Be nice to get Dunning downhill instead of Toney, let him guard Rogers.

As bad as we played, it's a good sign that we still have some kind of lead going into halftime.

2 point lead. Not awful. Hopefully we come out a bit sharper in the second now that the rust is in theory gone.

Uninspiring half, but we’re playing hard and up 2… if we can keep locking them down on the defensive end, I think we should come out on top

Rogers picked up a really dumb foul there at the end of the hald

When you got the adrenaline flowing, I’d assume you’d be fine if your opponent isn’t attempting to speed it up.

I feel like they outhustled us.

When we’ve gotten the ball down to Yax jd or Coleman good things have happened

They outhustled us and dictated the pace of the game.

The “less talented” lower seeded team playing its 3rd game in 3 days is best served playin a super slow place, and we allowed that…

I think AK probably feels we are better to just drop back in Half court d than to trap attempt because they are simply high iq guards

Hoping we play 3 games in 3 days so I’m good with not playing too fast for now. Also can’t turn up the defensive intensity with our issues with foul trouble. With that said, & only Butta with 2 fouls thus far, I fully expect AK to ratchet up the pressure in the 2nd half.

Them vs us
Paint points 12 to 22
Turnovers 6-1
Pts off TO 3-2. We blew it, not cashing in.
Reb 22-20
Off Reb 7-10. Well, there’s that.
Blocks 5-3
FG % 37-37
FGs 11-30, 14-38
Threes, 4-12, 1-9. Man, if we had any knock down shooters.

The ponytail guy, Cortez I think, will be trouble in the second half. Our guards are underestimating him and he's winning those battles.
