letting one guy beat us. All the good work unraveling as they get hot from 3 at the end of the half. Going to be a close one

I know that's not the end of the half we all wanted, but we are up by 4 on the road......20 more minutes. Let's do this .

Ok so we're taking a lead to the half. It's gonna be a dog fight but we came to play

We let Guy get going, and that's not a good thing. We have to figure out how to get some paint points in the 2nd half, and the defense has to get back to where it was earlier in the game.

at some point we will cool off from 3. The first game we dominated inside....today we are lucky the outside shots are falling. Second half adjustments by Coach K will be interesting given their PG is torching our man to man now

Need to start the second half like the 1st. UVA ain't gonna quit. Good we have the ball to start the second half. Even though we shot the ball well in the 1st. half I thought we should have had more shots. I know UVA makes it hard to get shots off it seems we were playing their half court offense. OFC

They are doubling Zion and RJ everytime they touch it in the post. They are going to have to make some good skip passes and we have to knock those down.

It looked like we tired a little bit late in the first half. We only played 7 and really only 5. We need to come back out strong to start the 2nd half.

We played really well the first 14 minutes....they played well the last six. Virginia is good. So are we. No one was going to blow the other out.

How though? UVA will just pack it in defensively so it’s no issue for them....

We didnt really solve it in the first match up...just made one or two more plays down the stretch. Guy torched that match up the first time...UVA is good at getting that match up when Bolden is out there. If you zone...and they start hitting then thats not good, man to man but being driven by isnt either...depends on what poison coach picks the second half.

I would love to try a line up with Alex or Jack in for Bolden and put Zion at the 5 with Salt. Zion can handle his own inside with either center Va puts on the floor. Will allow a better match up on the switch.
I was thinking the same thing. They've doubled with Salt every time Zion gets the ball inside or spins on a drive to the basket.

I’m not sure what to think....Seemed we where going to blow their doors off then they started making threes from everywhere....the crowd is into it now and I don’t think we continue to shoot like that....we will need to find some paint points someway to win....I would have Trey all over Guy.....but I understand trying to disrupt the offense at the top with him also.....

Exactly what I said in first half. Glad we hit some 3’s but we can’t rely on that to win. Have to get some inside points. They were triple and quadrupling Zion a few times.
