Only good thing about that half is that we won’t be debating all year whether the 1st half at GW or the 2nd half at Hampton was our worst half of basketball all season.

But I still believe is these guys and the staff. This game is still very winnable.

Brutal half. Against a good team we would be down by 40. Luckily High Point is not a good team

As Bobby and Jay have pointed out on the broadcast, High Point's entire game plan is centered around preventing drives from Luke and Yuri. Especially Luke. Became even more obvious after Tubby took the timeout on the one time Luke successfully got a layup. Don't know what else we can do other than try to shoot over the top but the shots just aren't falling today.

I think we may see more of the" take Loewe out of it" game plan in the future, if we do not do something different in the second half.

High Point getting most loose balls. Would like to see our effort dialed up. Gotta get out of our own heads when we’re struggling to get our shots to fall.

Can Luke give us a little momentum? HP pretty much ignoring everyone else on the floor.

Rest of the team is 6 for 32 (18%). Good plan.

No one else on the floor is giving HP a reason to defend them.

Wow, just checked box score. Some really rough stat lines for everyone except for Luke. No one else has made more than 1 fg.

Come on guys. Play with pride and show us what you’ve got these last 12 mins!

Ugly

I hope we battle right to the end here but once the final whistle goes let's just forget this one. We won't beat anyone shooting like this but hopefully there won't be many games where we shoot like this.

Well, we've scored more in this half, already, than we did in the 1st Half. So, there is that.

Glad to see Dane switch to full court man to man press. Good teaching moments plus never give up

O points, 1 reb, 1 steal, and 4 turnovers for Scott.

Lowe is 5-7 from field, rest of team is 10-44

Denny Green said it best. They are who we thought they were. We were picked last in the CAA for a reason. This is a very young team that looks like they have barely played together. We will have flashes of greatness mixed in with duds like today. The freshman coming in next year look good. This year’s freshman will be much better in March then they are now. The future is bright...but this is gonna be a long season

Got schooled today on both ends. We may have not been looking ahead to UVA, but we weren't looking ahead to High Point, either. Tubby is a very good coach.

Anybody else see their fan cutout today? I sure didn't.

Did we play UVA today? All records and joking aside, High Point is the better team

Our PG's had 9 of our 14 TO's, mostly on bad passes. We were also outrebounded by 12.

High Point played very good basketball in the 2nd half. I actually thought we had a chance to win at halftime based on how HP played in the 1st half. They didn’t look too good in the 1st; we just looked horrible.

Both teams played remarkably better in the 2nd half; but the 2nd half also made it clear that HP is much better than we are right now.

Final 71-49 loss to a well coached High Point team who followed their game plan against a young Tribe that had lots of learning moment for Dane to use.
