I'm telling you, we are the worst layup making team in the conference.
A little frustrating.

 

[JBaker]

Ok can we have our first good and to the half this year?
We will need it.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

We have NO defense

Not looking like it right now...

 

[JBaker]

Up by 8 with two-minutes left.
Good chance we aren't leading at half.

 

[JBaker]

Every.
Single.
Game.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

We are the WORST finishing first half team. It's painful to watch the team finish a first half

 

[Riseandfire10]

This is pathetic, learn to finish a half.

 

[JBaker]

Stop resting Spangler at the end of the half!
It makes our awful defense worse.

 

[opsooner]

We just have a tough time when Spangler is out. No interior D and offense also struggles because their D can spread out more.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

Pathetic

 

[JBaker]

So embarrassing.
Just lost the game in two minutes.

 

[Riseandfire10]

At some point Lon has to do something different to make this stop happening.

 

[Laxtothemax12]

They are worse than a high school team in the last 3 minutes of a first half. It's kind of embarrassing...

 

[CrimsonandCream14]

And like clockwork, we give up a run to end the half. Knew it was coming.

 

[MichaelM]

This is not the NBA. You can't run the clock to 6 seconds before starting your play.

 

[MNsooner]

I'm not as upset about this end of the half scoring by ISU. We were double teaming and contesting shots that they were making. I'd like to see us fight for position a bit more, but overall that was good offense mostly. We did play some bad defense in this game at other times though.

 

[slappy in OP]

Very disturbing trend has developed at the end of every first half. We have to change something.

No more sitting Spangler going into the half unless he has foul trouble.
