44-48 ECU 9:06 left.
Seth Gearhardt 17th block of season.

Just an awful play by Guercy.

Maybe the low-quality video is misleading me as to what's actually happening, but it sure looks like the home cooking has heated up as the game tightened.

44-50 ECU makes layup and Guercy foul. 7:58 left 2H

It's a long way to come back from 25 down and make it stick. Best not to get down that much, of course.

Michael Jordan (remember him) was such a bad free throw shooter in High school it kept him off the Varsity team.

For ten years Jordan would not leave the gym EVERY DAY until he MADE 600 free throws. Not took 600 shots, but MADE 600. Think about it, Rice. 28% from the charity stripe.

52-64 ECU with 1:00 left.
Obi fumbles the inbounds pass.

Peera really helped turn things around when Braun made a wholesale substitution in the first half.

55-67 ECU wins.
Rice 7-19 on the year. Got within 2 in 2H, but you can't let yourself get down 25 and expect to come back and win.

Bye Bye Braun

Good effort on the comeback.

Braun on radio: "We couldn't have gotten off to a worse start down 25. That's the good news."

Peera, Ross Wilson played well.

I kinda feel sorry for Braun listening to him here. Then I remember how much he makes each year, and somehow I don't feel too sorry for him anymore.

He's had his chance. Barring some miracle run in the CUSA tourney that gets Rice into the NCAAs...

Just for reference UT ranked 19th trails Kansas at halftime 46-18.
