We have more shot attempts than they do. Just need to start hitting those shots.


We apparently shot ourselves out last game.

Hate that.

We have missed some open threes. No hand up. Wide open.

It's going to take a miracle. The stupid mistakes are just too much.

Considering we ran into a buzz saw it’s under 10 we have a chance.


Duke jumped out on us in the first two minutes. Since then, we've played them pretty even. We just haven't been able to close the gap. If Sears can find his game in the second half, we have a good chance.

I don’t see who beats this team. We certainly don’t match up well cause Sears gets swallowed up anytime we play guards with size.

Barn kept it close at Cameron but their freshman have grown so much since then

Knueppel is a stud now

Yeah we're getting great looks and just missing them.

Down 9 is a win. Gotta start hot in second half, but we’ve generally been bad out of the gate in both halves all season.


We also don't usually close the half with a basket. Maybe tonight is different

All while Jarin sorry pathetic arse is missing wide open 3s, missing layups and being an absolute blackhole


He can’t defend any front court position, if he’s not hitting 3s then his offensive contribution is almost nonexistent. Maybe he’ll continue to develop into something.

Sears can’t play much worse in the 2nd half.

I was afraid they blew their wad night before last and they’d come out and play like this.

I think it comes down to it in the second. We can do this.

Youngblood blew the switch and easy 3 for Flagg

I’ll have to rewind it but it looked like he was so slow going behind the screen he actually kept Nelson from being able to handle Flagg on the dribble drive.

It’s doable. But we have to get blistering hot from 3. Feels like they can get anything in the half court they won’t against our defense.

Feels like we should be down 20.

Just start raining 3s in the second half and hope we get hot.

Bama took the punch in the mouth. Down by 9 isn’t bad not playing your best. This team can get hot quick and close the gap.

It’s basketball shite can turn on a dime in a matter of seconds. Lots of ball to be played yet

Philon has 2 fouls, everyone else has 1 or none. We can play much more aggressively next half on D

Same boat for them too but I feel like they have been aggressive already

Florida is the only team with a shot at beating Duke assuming both teams play reasonably well.

Man stop. We are shooting almost 25% from 3.

To make it real for you they have made the same amount of 3s as we have with TEN less attempts.

If we could hit a damn open shot we would actually have a chance

Just don't shite the bed to start the second half and let them breakout with an early run.

It's not going to take a miracle. It's going to take Grant Nelson running to the basket on drives.

Philon has done a fantastic job getting by everybody that's guarded him. We just got to get comfortable and keep battling.
