Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4834105, member: 2196"] - We finally got over the hump, Colgates winning streak is over. - Really disappointed how we played in the first half. Lost to Colgate 2 years in a row. Got beat pretty handily in both. And immediately spot them a 20 point lead at the half. - Lazy basketball in the first half. Guys not getting back on defense, going through the motions. - McLeod is useless. What is he even doing out there? He’s not a threat on offense. He can’t grab a rebound. An offensive player even looks at the rim and he’s leaving his feet. He spun around countless times having no idea where the ball was. We were a disaster with him on the court. - Browns defense in the press was huge in the second half. - I have been very vocal about not being a fan of Bell. Don’t care for the way he plays. But man, was he big for us in the second half. Hit some shots and got the guys going. Needed it tonight. - Too many guys on the team that want to shoot and stop the ball movement. I don’t think we have anyone on the team that would rather give the extra pass to get the better shot. Everyone wants to take the shot. Ball movement needs to improve. - As frustrating as this game was to watch at times, down 20 at the half. Take over 4 minutes to score our first field goal of the second half. And find a way to win. That’s how teams grow together. - The team seemed to really come together in that second half. Started to play more like a team. - Thought it was over with 325 left in the game. We fought all the way back to within 4, two empty possessions in a row and Colgate immediately pushed the lead back to 8 points. Thought Colgate stopped the run and turned the momentum there. - Although it wasn’t full pressure, I liked that Red didn’t immediately go into half court defense when we tied the game. He stuck with what helped get us back in the game. - Conditioning is still a problem. Guys were sucking wind in the first half. Even before we made our comeback. - Still a lot to work on. Colgate is not a good team this year. I’m also of the belief that our program should beat Colgate 98 out of 100 games. So although I’m not happy this game was as close as it was, Im impressed the kids didn’t give up and fought like heck to get back into the game and win the game. - Gets much harder on Monday. Hope the squad comes out ready to play from the start. [/QUOTE]
