Why are our last possession shots so awful? Do we ever practice them?

I guess our goal is to hold teams to under 100 points

Would have been a great PG to have, especially with Cohn graduating this year...

Too focused on shooting with no time left, we start too late.

Yep. 9 seconds or less is NOT enough time for us.

Miracle we are only down 13 at the half. Law of averages says they don’t shoot 69% this half, but I said the same thing at OSU

...and vs. Towson.

Were not dead, but have a lot of work to do. The team is looking a lot more vulnerable the last couple of games. Certainly the familiarity of the CAA teams is a factor, but I think we can work our way out of it during the conference season.

I think we all knew we weren’t as good as our early record showed, but we’re still clearly better than 8th place IMO.

If there was ever a team to run a full court press against, it would be NE. Try and speed them up and get them to play at a pace they aren't used to

We're in this. It just depends what team shows up in the second half. They've (wisely) been faceguarding Burchfield all night. We need to run him off some screens to see if we can get him open.

You can definitely see the northern European background in Pusica. He definitely has an International style game. Hey is 6 for 7 in the first half. Only Rowley has been able to slow him down, even a little.

They're shooting 70%

Huskies hit 15 of their first 20 shots to start the game and finished the half hitting 13 of 20...so, they are slowing down...right??

Feels like we should be down a lot more than 13.

They cooled down from 80% to 70%

What about when Cohn is what is bad out there? Too many turnovers; too much dribbling into heavy traffic.

David Cohn with 2 points, 2 assists and 3 turnovers might explain why our offense is struggling. When he struggles, we don't score.

Plenty of time if we have a plan. We never even looked for Burchfield or Milon on that last play.

Turnover split is 7 to 5, which sounds OK. However, they have gotten 18 points off our 7 TO's, we have gotten 4 off their 5.
