Terrible half of basketball. Pera might burst a blood vessel out there.

Turnovers killing us once again. 9 TOs already with just under 4:00 left in half. Rice down by 3.

RE: MBB vs. USM
USM 7-11 from 3, and lead by 7 with 40 seconds remaining in half. Absolutely no defense. And another couple TOs. Ugh. What's most frustrating with this team is that we are making the very same mistakes we have been making all season. No improvement whatsoever.

RE: MBB vs. USM
We just won't win this game if we turn the ball over 13 more times. Southern Miss has a solid offense but is woeful defensively (like bottom 15 in the country bad). We can score enough to win this game, but not enough to overcome 16 free points off TOs. Not very often a team shoots 61% in a half and trails by 7.
Also of note: Najja is +5 this half, Malik +4.

Down 13 with 14:07 left. Just really, really poor overall.

66-53 Southern Miss at the under-12. Southern Miss is an okay offensive team and they might drop 90 on us.
*Southern Miss scores 5 straight right after I typed this, and we're close approaching our most embarrassing performance of the season.

Are we playing any defense? Never seen a team shooting 80+% in a half.

True, but it's not like Southern Miss hasn't also gotten basically any shot they've wanted.

Rice is #309 in Pomeroy for a reason.

77-69 Southern Miss shooting 2 FTs at the under-4. "3rd quarter" really hurt us once again.

The 7th worst offensive rebounding team in the country pulls down a key offensive rebound after we pulled within 7.

RE: MBB vs. USM
86-75 Southern Miss final.
-23 TOs led to 36 Southern Miss points (basically the entire game right here)
-By far Austin's best game offensively against a team with no size. Looked confident with his inside moves which was good to see.
-Notable +/- (regardless of flaws in the stat): Najja +2, Malik +1, Bishop 0, AJ -13, Tim -12, Miles -8
-"Quarter" breakdown (Rice-SMISS): 21-25...15-18...17-28...22-15 (UNT outscored us 27-16 last Saturday in the 3rd quarter, so that stretch of game continues to be a problem for us)

I like your use of hockey’s +/- stat.

positives?? if you shot 70% and had those turnovers there still wouldn't be a positive
