JM need to be taken out. A turnover followed by a foul. His defense is deficient as well.

Oh My God-- we are down 26-14 at the half--not a football game, that is the score of a basketball game.

Anyone looking to jump off that bandwagon yet? Need to do a 180 in the second half.

26-14 at half.
BN needs to peel paint off walls at halftime. Guys didn’t show up.
But we’ve been mentally tough; here’s another opportunity to prove it.

Can we possibly put two halves in a row like that? 14 points? That is tough to do against one of the weakest teams in the NCAA. We are fortunate to be down only a dozen

We are playing worse than the women against Bucknell and that's saying something. Similar to that game, no one is playing well. There's always the second half.

Snapper and John Harlin were both 6:10 or 11 but rarely played behind Bob Kissane, Don Sasso and Gene Doyle. Knapp and Harlin were pranksters and enjoyed their time on the bench. Both great guys and fun to hang around with. KOT 72 Peter was about 6’8 Harlin 6’9 as KOT says both a ton of fun

We can’t let JM keep doing that. That is the worst half of offensive basketball I have ever seen. Ended appropriately with Humphrey wide open in the corner waving his arms and GG putting up a brick from the foul line.

Prediction: Martindale does not see the floor in the second half.
Hope: He wakes up over the next few games and shows us he can play college basketball at this level. I am starting to have my doubts watching him the last 10 games.

Now we will see what kind of adjustments Nelson makes at half.
They need to create some offense with defense. Perhaps a 3/4 court zone trap?
They have to get this lead down to 6 by the 10:00 min mark to have a puncher's chance.

A month ago this game would be over now. Now not necessarily.

Brutal half of basketball.
American turning it into a slugfest and daring the officials to call every foul, HC sleepwalking and allowing the AU defense to impose their will.
Would like to see us speed up the pace in the second half.

I remain optimistic. This American team is very beatable.

We could really use a 3-point shooter off the bench to stretch out the defense and keep them from just collapsing on Gates & Kenny.
Maybe Bubba can provide a 2nd half spark, because unfortunately it looks like Martindale cannot deal with AU's physicality tonight.
