OK, Trojans, here is a chance to make a (small) statement. Let's beat a team that has had our number in the past.

With Maurius starting instead of Reid, look for the Trojans to dominate the boards.

Tucker says there is a big crowd, so we will have to play off negative energy.

FTs may keep us in this game.

Getting whipped on the boards so far.

J. T. needs to stick to passing and let someone else shoot.

We are shooting awful and still within four.

Mareik THREEEEEEE.

Keep your mouth shut, Josh. We don't need technicals.

We can't hit the side of a barn.

We are up to our old bad tricks on perimeter defense.

MoState does not yet have an offensive rebound at 4:46 in the half.

Bennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Dillard! Threeeeeeeee.

Guess who is leading the team in rebounds? the smallest player, DeVonte Smith.

Halftime stats:
We are shooting 40%, they cooled off to 38%.
We are 44% from the arc, they are 30%. Defense improved as the game went on.
We have made 8 FTs, they have attempted 4.
We are winning the boards 19 to 14, mainly due to DeVonte.
We have 7 assists to only 3 turnovers.

We would be up at least a dozen if we hit our free throws

Mareik has two offensive boards. Good job!

You figure they are going to heat up from the arc in the second half. Have to be ready.

Man, we are coming out strong in the second half.

Boone, one of their starters, picks up his 3rd foul early in 2nd half.

James White only one rebound so far, but his scoring has been fine.

Sure hope i get to eat crow at the end of this game
