X just struggles with the short put-back, maybe just dunk the ball

[Kevin Reilly]

We need to drive it on James. He has 2 fouls. Green can't cover him. Djokovic is not ready yet. Mcknight has 7 rebounds. We are making our foul shots.

Claude should not be in the game right now even though he just made a bucket. We need to protect the rim much better and defensive rebounds. James is killing us and they thankfully are taking bad shots. FTś how about that!!!

Making an aver 9 point James look like Lebron with a 14 point first half

Good: UC only scored 27 points in the half
Bad: they doubled us up on O rebounds

[Kevin Reilly]

Ciani did a great job on Lakhin. Ousmane and Mcknight played very well. Djokovic, Green and Swain were quiet. We shot 9-10 from the foul line and only four turnovers. Olivari played very well on defense but took some horrible shots. Happy to see the team locked in and ready to go. Need to get the fourth foul on Lakhin. We need to keep playing hard and hope Claude doesn't get a early 3rd foul. Go X

Djokovic is not ready. Claude let his guy score twice in a row to start the half. Need to go at Lakhin. Need that first half energy.

How many games are the guys going to come out flat in the second half and let other team get back in game or take the lead? Some criticized other coaches for letting that happen

All five of our starters have 2 fouls

[Kevin Reilly]

Djokovic is really struggling on both ends. No sure why he is still playing. Give Nzeh a chance.

I am surprised by that too.

[Kevin Reilly]

Olivari is saving us. Playing good defense too. We need to keep going to the rim.
