Washington has to play well in the second half.

Foz seems to be having trouble holding on to the ball today.

We have to start hitting the close range shots!

Sloppy. That's the only word I can think of to describe these last two minutes.

He was holding both of his earlier in the game

I would prefer to drink 7 free beers after work.

You'll have to buy 49 beers?

How many gimmes are we going to miss

Ouch! He was hurting.

No. Just 7 beers. I have seven different bets, though.

We need a strong second half so I can enjoy tonight.

31-34, Nebraska at halftime.

After yesterday, UAB needs something good to happen today.

Chad looks super tired. Overall, we did fine. They hit some contested 3's that could have gone either way. I expect to see more zone in the 2nd half. Pretty sure CJ and Swing went out drinking all night again.

Nebraska had 8 steals to UAB's 1 in the first half. UAB leads in rebounding 25-20. UAB causes very few turnovers on their opponents. UAB is almost last in the country in that department.

Also, I have a great story. It just so happens that Mackin set down right beside me. Well, throughout the first half, I carried on conversation with 2 Lobo's sitting directly behind us. At one point one of them asked the question, "How's your turn out for home basketball games?". Of course Mackin looks right at me as I give this guy the most politically correct answer I could come up with. Awkward.

Where do we rank in unforced turnovers? We sure commit a ton of those.

Regarding steals percentage, i.e., #steals / possessions, UAB is at 2.6%, or 348th in the country. Only New Orleans, Alcorn State, and Incarnate Word are worse.

& Incarnate Word doesn't believe in stealing.

I don't know about unforced turnovers, but turnovers in general when UAB is on offense, UAB ranks 211th out of 351. UAB's turnover % is 19.2%.
