Timeout when we are down 12?  Good timing.  

Noah on the block just isn't happening.  Put him at the top of the key every time.  

Yeah it is just insanely terrible how different we are from one half to the next.  It is something adjustments couldn't even touch.  Our intensity, activeness on defense, and intelligence with the ball just goes out the window at half-time.  It is a focus thing.  

  I would imagine it would be Duke in the 90s when Coach K missed part of the season.  Because 30 of their games are on ESPN.  

Dekkar is so good.  

  If he got bailed out he will still have to serve his 3-5 days at some point.  

Hey!!!!  Noah at the top of the key!  

  Don't think you would be.  He made a mistake.  He should come back.  However, it was 11 days ago.  

What in the hell are we even trying to accomplish offensively?

If we were down 3, is there anyone that wouldn't want Noah taking that 3?  

Crean needs to get Noah the ball at the top of the key and a ball screen.  Kaminsky is too slow to stay with him.  

Ok.  Looks like the middle is about to open up like the Red Sea for Wisconsin.  

That dribble weave really worked last time we played.  Only seen it a handful of times tonight.  

Well, party is over lol.  Still like where we are.  We just have to adjust….  Worried?  

  This is the type of game he needs to get 25/12.  They can't stop him.  

Those two need to just get a room and get it over with.  They have had a hard on for each other for many years.  They both make their respective boards unbearable acting the way they do.  Worst part is one is in a role of importance.  

This is why I didn't get overly excited.  It is bad when you can't be too happy about a 10 point lead on the road against a team who scored 19 in the first half.  Would really like to see Noah getting the ball at the top of the key or Will curling.  

I would almost like to see him stop at 8 feet.  Nothing good happens when he gets that low.  He either jumps to pass, gets blocked, or is far enough past for a layup.  But, when he slows down it never ends good.  

  The only thing as bad as losing to some of the teams we have lost to is beating a team like this on the road for those posters you talk about.  I will give props to this team, because I love it.  To them it would essentially negate the whole season to this point by winning a game like this.  To me, it would show us how young and bi-polar we are.  Its all good though.  No matter how the end went down, and they did us wrong as much as we did them, I still appreciate everything they did by starting HSN.  I don't appreciate how they act like we were the ones who got people banned.  Ken explicitly stated in a thread to Long Duk that the people who banned him were no longer there.  I know he is old, but he is full of crap.  He is the one who has proposed banning more people than any other mod here or there.  That pissed me off, and we had a discussion on here about it.  I am tired of them acting like we screwed them over.  Look no further than the promises we had to make and break for the reason things are the way they are.  Screw them.  

Hell no.  That was the most glorious half I have seen in a while.  If only I had faith in how we were going to come out in the 2nd.  

  Then it would turn into a talk about how Scout or GC and how there is maintenance going on.  247 is the last board that should throw stones at anyone.  

F'ing Ted Valentine.  Why won't he retire?

I can see the headline tomorrow applauding Crean for his forward thinking.  "Coach Tom Crean becomes the first NCAA Men's coach to bring a Lesbian out of the stands!"     Crean:  "Seemed like a good idea at the time.  Not sure why, but it did.  She seemed like she might play well in our zone.  Obviously, she struggled.  That is her fault."

Not even sure he had it then.  I think this is the most shots I have seen him take in a half.  Kind of refreshing.  

This is the Noah we NEED!!!
