X caught a break on the foul on Cartwright.

Scruggs has a helluva 1H
And coming off a zero point effort yesterday.
He and his fellow freshman, Naji, have been two of the best players on the court.
Oh yea...Kanter hasn't been too bad.

Liking Scruggs more and more. Kanter having a good game.

Best defensive half of the year arguably. Providence only had one true transition basket to my count. Also, it was the best 3 consecutive halves played since the 2nd half Baylor/UNLV East games.

Both teams shot the same from 3 - 3 for 11
X controlled the boards - 24 to 16
Points in the paint - X 22 PC 10
Points off TO's - X 6 PC 0
And only 2 TO's for X in the 1H

X hasn't scored from field in almost 3 minutes. Getting to line
I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

1st war of the 2H was 6-6.
I'll take that score in each of the rest of the 4 wars.

SOM is missing a lot of shots of late.
8 for 24 over his last 4 games - including this one.
