is the live stats link on siu's website working for anyone else?
Yes.
Defense hasn’t been great this half
I’m not going to argue with you much on this…but Tulsa has made some really tough shots too. Offense really struggled down the stretch, way too many turnovers.
Can’t give up 41 points in a half and expect to win. Offense looked good for awhile and then tailed off
We have cooled off considerably from the field after a hot start.
This team could do something this season if Coupet can be the 3 in our Big 3. Think he has 13 at the break or something
Tulsa has some real skill and talent. Gonna have to hope they cool off.
Bow Em
Only two fouls on Tulsa in the half with so many 3 point attempts. Not much attacking other than Coupet a few times.
Need to turn up the heat on D and get them out of their comfort zone running their offense or it’s going to be an L.
Inside game practically non-existent, thinking maybe more of Jones doing his thing driving to the basket in the 2nd half unless his is still slowed by his ankle.
Nice to see Verplancken and especially Coupet step up. But Jones and Domask are going to have to assert themselves in the second half, if we are going to win this.
Unfortunately, Lance Jones isn't anywhere near 100%. His foot is still really bothering him. Tulsa shooting better than they have all year. Hope they cool off and hope we can get to the basket more in the 2nd half. Can't just settle for 3's.
Banks seemed to really struggle this half, on both sides of the ball. He is now 2-16 from 3pt range this season. We need more than that from our PG. Again, Brown is not the complete answer, but with him on the floor it gives them another capable shooter while not having a drop off on D. Was really hoping to see him in this game. I'm beginning to wonder if he'll play at all this year as we're already 25% through the season.
Hopefully they’ll prove me wrong as we move along but D’Avanzo and Filewich both tend to struggle against teams with good interior athleticism. And Muila just doesn’t have offensive game. Not ideal …
I think we'll see a larger dose of D'Amico playing the "5" in situations like that going forward. Hopefully he can keep up defensively.
Southern playing small and has given up two offensive rebounds off missed FTs. Garbage.
SIU has not been able to rebound here as of late. Way too many chances for Tulsa here.
