And with that, TOney has stepped up BIG!!!! I take it back lol

TONEYYYY with the huge momentum swing.

Toney playing his TTs off. Love it

Jelly is doing a great Eric Gaines impression in the first half

Every single time we turn them all over it’s basically leading to a basket for them… You think that we would learn from our mistakes

We are getttjng no offensive rebounds on the long misses, and giving up transition off it

My god, you cannot go in there on that guy throwing up weak stuff. You have to go in to dunk on him.

Terrible last minute for us.

Really poor end to the half.

Toney played his ass off and turned the momentum around and gets benched. We are now barely going into the half with a lead and with no momentum. Bad substitution and really dumb sloppy play by us.

Sloppy play like this is why I knew this team wouldn’t make major noise this year. We didn’t have composure or high basketball acumen in game one, and we still don’t.

I’ll admit to only having watched a few blazer games this year, but am I the only one who feels Eric Gaines has terrible body language and makes insanely dumb plays consistently?

Yeah that was a terrible shot. Especially for a player who always goes for the highlight play, to the detriment of him and his team. He needed to dunk that.

Eric Gaines slowing dribbling up the court with 9 seconds left shows his general game awareness.

He does a lot of dumb stuff Derek.

But he will have games where he magically doesn’t do dumb stuff and he looks really good. But then he starts doing dumb stuff again. He can’t get out of his own way sometimes.

He looked awful in the first half against Vanderbilt, and came out in the second half and played really well.

I’d take being up 4 at half in a vacuum but I do not like how we played most of the half after getting out to a big lead.

If we let them turn this into a track meet, don’t be surprised if we lose.

If we slow it down a bit and play with some damn composure, we should win.

We played most of that half like the early to mid season UAB team.

Thanks Andswer. Heard you and black hole went to the vandy game. Jelly.

Can we get a dominant Center from Senegal?

Absolutely!

Good game so far, shame the announcers are missing it being too busy handjobbing the NBA Africa guy

I think we need Buffen to step up in this 2nd half and need strong minutes from Trey.

Davis can work on offense some but he was getting cooked a bit on the pick and roll.

Madsen will make some adjustments to attack our 1-3-1
