Explorers are having every shot drop. We’ll win but boy tough to listen to the POW!!

 

[GMUYoda]

7 turnovers and 7 assists so far

The Patriots (especially Hall) looked like a deer in headlights. All nerves.

Very fortunate to only be down 6. Not much to complain about offensively, but our perimeter defense was atrocious. It will be interesting to see what adjustments Tony makes.

We’re fortunate to only be down 6 at the half as that was the worst defensive effort I’ve seen from this team so far. Too slow on close outs, losing guys, etc. Have to come out with more energy and lockdown on that side of the ball in 2nd half.

What game are you watching?

You mean the guy with 13 points and 5 boards at halftime? I could do without the two turnovers, but we wouldn’t even be in this game right now if he didn’t show up. We really need the rest of the starters to step up in the second half.

PG play still not very good, The Turnovers were AWFUL!!! No excuses there, really really bad. Oh well, find a way to stop them and win. They really have to stop starting off every game slow on defense, recent trend on that front is bad.

Scary thing is that Mason's shooting percentages aren't far behind Lasalle's at the half.

 

[masonhoops1984]

Can someone please teach Hall how to pass the ball?

 

[gmutom]

Sometimes the best adjustment is no adjustment at all. When a team shoots uncharacteristically well from the perimeter in the first half, it never hurts to let them shoot themselves out of the game knowing the law of averages will even out.

You need to sit down…

 

[Yossarian]

Skinn seems to be shaping us into a Second Half Team.

 

[DRK331]

Mason up 50-46 in the 2nd half

Effort much better defensively. Love that tip by Billups to keep that play alive. Keep it up fellas!

Do you watch him play? He is insanely reckless at times, maybe just don't pass at all if he's scoring. No one is talking about his ability to score. Some people on here are strange, I guess you can hit ctrl z on the score sheet with his 4 turnovers....

His attempts at dribbling is what drives me crazy.
But the kid can score!

Billups doing all he can defensively, he’s got his hands full.

No doubt he can score!

He’ll get better as he plays more. I’d rather have him on the team than not…by a mile.
