If you had only one word to describe the first half, what would it be?

Texass basically heaves NBA threes or tosses alley oops. We can definitely grind them down.


If we can keep it close in the last 2 minutes we may have the discipline edge that gives us the W.

Amazing how well Cal can stay in a game when we aren't getting called for a foul every possession
When there is a massive discrepancy in athletic skill the more athletic team gets the calls because their physicality puts pressure on the other team.

The big take away after watching 3 minutes of the 1st half is that Texas isn't Duke; Duke has special athletic talent.
Other big takeaway: nobody can shoot.
I predicted CAL 59 Texas 57. It appears I may have slightly overrated the offense capabilities of both teams.

Not sure I agree. Cal isn't setting up their shooters that is true. Hopefully that will be the 2nd half adjustment.

Getting a quick third foul on Coleman would be good.

Feels like the lads are trying to play too clinical to please the Coach. No flow atm, too constricted.

The team is going to struggle if South can't step up and be a solid 2nd scoring option.

God the ball sticks when Austin gets tentative and he gets tentative with length defending him. It is just night and day vs. how the ball moved in games 1 through 3.

Honestly it is time to say "You know, our PG of the future is Brown. Here are all the minutes" Paris can come in to give him an occasional blow. Sucks but is what it is.

Paris is what he is. Doubt all of Fox's coaching is going to make a difference at this point.

Exactly. Ball sticks.

At some point you need to calculate how much added value you get from playing Austin over brown and compare to how much you are stunting your offensive improvement (since the ball sticks with him) and how much you are delaying brown's maturity by cutting his mins

Seems like a no brainer to me

welp, the 7 - 0 or 9 -0 run after the half does support that albeit on a limited basis.

Not sure why Cal isn't setting up their shooters or why Bradley isn't driving to create points or fouls.

Yeah. We saw it last year. It sorta stinks for him - but he is too short to finish at the rim and doesn't have an outside shot. So teams just sag off him or wait for rim help since he can drive. Without a great slasher to complement it ends up that he doesn't have a finisher to dish to. So drive, swat, rinse, repeat.

Brown needs those minutes for the future of the program.

Ball is sticking and we don't set great off ball screens. Plus Matt will, if you watch, occasionally loaf it out there and not run around Steph style. He needs to understand that his opportunity at the next level is going to depend on people seeing he is willing to run 10 miles duirng a game to get open.

You may be correct. It just feels to me that the team is a bit "worried" about the coach. I'm happy to be wrong but there is no flow. For a team that requires athleticism lack of flow, by design, IMO hurts a team. Happy to be wrong.

The lightweights would pass out halfway through the first beer.

And nobody would score.

It is going to be a long season. The team is constructed such that Paris, South and Bradley had to be the scorers. Paris isn't good enough. South may be good enough but this weekend is not making it look good for him against better competition. Bradley can't do it all. In other words, we are undermanned. There aren't a lot of coaching adjustments to make at halftime to fix that.

At some point it is going to be time to play the young guys and try to build something for the future.

Guess we were holding out hope that nailbiter against PV wasn't a sign of things to come.

Turns out it was.

Long season, we meet again.
