We don't guard it because teams don't stay hot forever.

They're hot and we're going to be down too much to come back if we don't start defending the perimeter.

It doesn't matter. If you allow a team to shoot 20+ threes in a half then you are in trouble, regardless of how many they make. This isn't 1995.

Threes are out of control. At some point they will need to miss. Most of the threes are from far beyond the 3 line.

Temple playing well, we are playing like crap. If we start shooting we'll be fine.

44/34 TEmple at half. Ponies need to regroup and figure out how to score from the paint while shutting down Temple's 3s.

Need some Sterling power

1/5 vs 8/16 on three balls.

second half won't be the same.

Unreal 3 point shooting by Temple. Need to get tougher on D early in the 2nd alf so they go cold and then start to panic as we come back.

Sterling will help a lot in the second half. We give teams threes int he first because we are saving our legs. We will close out better in the second and they will tire and shoot a lot worse.

Regardless, it has been great to watch this team gut it out. The depth really shows when you have true frosh. Foster has lost all confidence and Shake doesn't have legs. Tolbert has lost his legs a bit too, you can see it when he is around the rim, because instead of flushing, he is shooting layups and missing. Everything is kind of catching up to the team now it seems.

You let even poor shooting teams like Temple step into wide open 3's, then you are asking for trouble. Solve that and take care of the ball and finish our chippies.

Let's Go!!!

game was there close till last 2 mins,
sucky game,almost like loss number 1 is there

7 missed free throws, 8 turnovers and we've all heard it before, getting bombed from 3-point land.

Free throw shooting isn't helping as we've left 7 points on the floor

Ten minutes without BOTH Ben and Sterling. No glue.
