UCLA First half thread

not making ft's

ucla is showing on every screen and the screener isnt a threat to do anything...which results is bad passes and russell westbrook dunks.

gotta keep shooting though...we just need them to fall to have any chance

How is J. Love's block a foul, but not K. Love's block?

If we would just loosen up and hit a few baskets. I am encouraged we are still in the game as far off the mark some of our shots have been.

As cold as we are and only down by 9?

Sean will put together a plan!

[XU Rocks!]

If we hit a couple of those FT and shoot 45% instead of 35%, we'd be right in this game. Missed a lot of open looks. Hopefully shots will fall better for us in the second half.

open the second half with a 6-2 ish run and hope someone or all get the hot hand...I'm not ready to start worrying about josh fogg and the rest of the reds question marks
lets go X 3's and defense get us right back into this one

[nteetee]

This is absolutely the most frustrating scenario any of us could have considered. We can't hit a jumpshot and can't hit a free throw. 31% shooting vs. 51% shooting!!!

It's obvious UCLA is not a better team than X, but it only takes one bad shooting game in this tournament to end your run. And if we think we can just will our way back into the game like it's Georgia, we've got another thing coming. Real simple: Either X out-shoots UCLA in the 2nd half by a 15-20% margin, or we're done.

It's UCLA. Anyone who plays them must beat their 8 on the floor with your 5 on the floor.

Other teams have had the same problems:

the absolute most frustrating and disappointing half of xavier college basketball i have ever witnessed. however, wku was down 21 at half and started to get turnovers and knock down threes and cut it to 4 and lost by 10. xavier has the ability to do that and more including dbrown alley oops.

Any possible way Mr. N can be called into the office??
