Will be interesting to see if JF and MZ get meaningful time in the 2nd half - they haven't to date.

Hard to believe that we are shutting only 25%. That has to improve.

URI defense is pushing our offense way too far away from the hoop and is really pressuring the ball, so even if a backdoor is open, there is no way for the guy with the ball to deliver the pass.

Hard to believe that we are shutting only 25%. That has to improve. Not if we can't get any good shots.

Might be time to try LeSean for Ziggy's minutes.

no, it doesn't at all sound like this. nobody in their right mind would read this as missing a breakaway wide open layup, since that hardly ever happens even in high school. what lou is observing is that we have missed many layups over the past few games that we should make as division 1 basketball players. There is a big difference between the layups we have been allowing at the other end of the last five minutes and the looks we have been getting. There has been a theme developing that the missed layups is our biggest issue, which is silly. is there anyone who here thinks that missing layups is our "biggest issue"? i don't and i haven't seen anyone else here suggest that is our biggest problem, either. poor shooting overall, inconsistent/relatively disappointing poor play so far from our seniors, strange lineup/personnel choices from carmody, and defensive inconsistency would be our biggest issues so far in my view.

URI leads in reb by 18-6. That is ugly when we are shooting 28%

Ziggy had one nice defensive play but hurting us otherwise

Offensive rebounds: URI: 7 HC: 1
Not possible to beat good teams when your offense can't generate any shots and you're allowing that many extra possessions on defense.

We need to play Floyd as many minutes as possible.

-8 at half best we could expect with the po sputtering throughout half

The fact that it's only 30-22 right now is encouraging to a degree....we are just not a squad with many options offensively.

great half by floyd, offensively and defensively.
glad to only be down 8 after that 14-0 uri run.

We need to play Floyd as many minutes as possible. Seven man rotation going forward sans Ziggy. Hopefully by the time he's a senior he can contribute.

He kept us in this game when it could have gotten ugly.

OK, at 8 down HC is back in the game after trailing earlier by 14. It could easily have been 20. Also, 3 of the Rams have 2 PF each. That could become a issue in the second half.

JF looked cool at the FT line with .2 seconds left in the half.

I think the defense is playing pretty well, following the ball movement and contesting URI player with the ball. _______________ Want to increase attendance at the Hart? Do as URI does, advertise beer and pizza at the concession stand!

great half by floyd, offensively and defensively. glad to only be down 8 after that 14-0 uri run. Agreed. And shocking for a guy "lacking in basketball skill" SC State thread:
