ELITE 8 VS TEXAS - 5:05pm on CBS

[Shooter McGavin]

I’m ready for that Walker three

 

[CaneandAbel]

Omier needs to play 20 minutes next half. Their big runs happen when he’s not on the court

 

[scane]

Ain’t happening, gents. I could tell when we had the lead. Can’t get boards, can’t win.

You better not say that when you call L at halftime

 

[skyman]

hard to win when the other team doesn’t miss

Would be nice for guys to stick to their man and put a hand in their face.. We are giving them wide open looks and when they do miss they get offensive rebound for another wide open shot

 

[Calinative]

They’re hitting their 3s (and all shots really) while we’ve hit like 2 3s… this isn’t too bad for us imo. If we can end the half down 4, I think we’re looking pretty good.

But we need to do a much better job rebounding

Facts. Not rebounding, not getting loose balls, not shooting threes, we arent playing our game

 

[BiltmoreCANE]

Need a mini run to end the half. Play D and cool them down in the second half!

hard to win when the other team doesn’t miss

we actually have the better FG% right now. they are beating us on boards

 

[DWade3]

Walker is so ******* bad at trapping. He essentially leaves his guy to barely effect the ball handler.

 

[rascon]

2nd half adjustment will likely be more aggressive defending three pointers with Omier fighting for rebounds with 4 fouls to give.
I don’t mind the 2s right now, but we need to create more drives to force Texas to foul.

40 seconds left and were down 8. at best im hoping were just down 6

 

[canester95]

I think coach is keeping fresh legs for second half. I’m betting on way more speed 2nd half.

 

[anr96]

21 bench points for Texas so far…need to put an end to that

 

[go_canes_17]

With how many times we’ve been down heading into the half and many are giving up… I don’t get it

Imagine if Kansas gave up when they were down 6 at the half to us.

Keep the ******* faith and stop bi*****.

GO CANES

 

[canesfan54]

Poplar has been great so far

 

[Shooter McGavin]

get within 5

 

[txcanes]

hard to win when the other team doesn’t miss

We have a higher fg% than they do. They have more fouls than us. We just have to play smarter, which means no Walker

we went 2 for their 3 and down 8 now

 

[WndyCityCane]

Not a good day to have a bad day.

Maybe we turn it around at half, unlike last year

 

[canesfan54]

That’s a horrible foul before half
