Much better second half defensively and making some baskets. Thank god.

My complaining is working... I will continue if needed

Bailey is looking good. And yes -- teams that live on the three will eventually go cold - keep them to the outside and work our offense inside. The foul mismatch represents that.

For the first time this year, we are running guys off the 3 point line. So much better defensively which leads to open looks offensively. Everyone fighting through screens instead of going under.

Not if you continue to leave them open…CKE finally adjusted.

I didn't say keep them open - I said push them to the perimeter and force them to only take outside shots. They have gone cold of since.

Nice 2nd half and win... but lots to clean up still. This type of play won't work against top 4 of the a10 in conference play. Still time to adjust and correct

Done and done.

Or better yet filter them to the middle and make them take tough 2s…

They had two guys who were making jump shot after jump shot - they got frustrated when they were in the post to make shots.

What was the final, guys?

It seems like they underestimated American and was not as aggressive in the first half. Not taking care of the ball is a sign of that. The tongue lashing at halftime sure helped the motivation.

Ugliest first half in quite some time. The great news @Pikapppatri8 is that I got a shirt! The good news was the 2nd half. A win is a win even against a totally sh&tty opponent. Funny story, as I left my pregame establishment a bunch of American fans laughed at me told me they were going to kick our a**. Ah the dreamers!

I want one of those shirts. Funny about the American fans - what establishment was this outside of?

I tried to score one for you, to no avail. Oh George unfortunately, they suck.

This should be a 20 point win and we should see baby Oduro make his deput in the final few minutes. Anything short of comfortable to blowout here would be a rough night.

Golf clap

Buncha whiners on this thread. First half sucked but KE gave the bench way too much leash and we saw a bunch of goofy lineups, including saquan, who punted maybe the only three possessions he was allowed to play. Ronnie is winning the PG spot decisively. Tightened up the rotations in the second half and smashed. Never in doubt. Coop's defense pisses me off most of the time but he showed in the second half why you can't keep him off the court. VBJ is the real thing and Josh had some beautiful passes tonight.
