Looks like we are wearing black uniforms tonight. I know I'm in the minority, but I HATE what Uniwatch calls BFBS- black for black sake. This is certainly that. Black with green letters and white trim is not a good luck, IMO. If we were going to have Adidas develop an alt uni, a throwback or gold would be better than black.

They look better than our home whites. Our home whites are pretty pedestrian (really like our road jerseys, though).

I always liked the gold alternatives, but if the players want black, they can wear black.

Was tailgate cancelled? I drove around and didn’t see anything

Kryptonite bracelet night

Glow Night - FREE Mason LED glow bracelet for fans, while supplies last. Halftime glow performance by the Masonettes and Mr. Blake Hicks and his Amazing Tron Bike.

Dammit, can you at least pass the pick and roll when they double the ballhandler and leave the roller wide open?! I mean, at least then, right?

 

[phoenix-arizona]

Is that what they meant by glow night?--I thought they meant a Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling themed evening. Robots vs Lady Wrestlers at halftime!

Thought we played pretty well in the first half, despite being behind. Had some unfortunate calls go American’s way.

 

[mkaufman1]

Tuned in late and saw good defense when the offense was struggling, then they relaxed on defense and American starting scoring with ease.

Hopefully they focus and adjust.

Both fouls in Greene were BS, but this is an example of what it’s like playing with inconsistent shooters. Everyone trying to get to the rim.

Also, guys, notice what happens when you pass it to a cutting big when the other team overcompensates on the pick? Yeah, easy buckets. How about we look to make that pass every once in awhile?

Second foul on aj and both on Greene were horrible. We are giving it to the ref

Gave up 9 points to end the half, right?

Oh, yeah, clean block for AJ. That was not a foul either.

something like that

Hopefully Hartwell and Kier come alive a bit in the second half. Tough to get anything going offensively when those two aren’t creating. Still think we’ve played pretty well though.

 

[FreeGunston12]

Hartwell, you’re cold as ice. Stop shooting deep 3s with 25 seconds on the shot clock!

 

[Falco]

I think it’s time for Calixte. Hartwell is front rimming everything. He’s playing tired

The entire team is ice cold it seems like. And it’s showing up in the defensive side of the ball now. Not playing smart.
