Getting down big in the first half

[kyjeff1]

Glad we got the win, MM is awesone and Pope drew up a great play, we have seen that play before.

But this getting down in the first half, where we look confused and lifeless, has to stop.

It happened last year too. It's not injuries, if it was, we wouldn't be able to make all these dramatic comebacks.

There's no explanation for the way we look in the first half every game. Are we just not prepared? Not motivated? It just seems like we go into the same mode where we forget how to run our offense, then, late in the first half, we figure it out at tge snap of a finger. Why?

Don't do that crap on Saturday, Tennesee won’t let us back in it.

I agree I can't figure it out at all. It literally makes no sense that there can be two radically different halves

If they come out with good energy and execution on Saturday, it tells me it's the imoortance put on the opponent. I get it, it's tough to get up for Mizzou and LSU, but you have to

But then again, we have gotten down big to every power 5 team we have played. If I had to guess, I'd say it's lack of mental preperation and grit. The coaches have to get these guys fired uo to play. Figure it out.

I swear it seems like it takes us a half to figure out how to get into our offense and then it flows.

Yeah, it's definitely an issue on the offensive end. They look completely confused, which is really odd.

Need to press and run to start the game. CMP is going to play 10 players. Why not use these numbers to wear down the opponent? The 1-2-2 zone press is safe and does not give up layups at the other end. It does wear on the opposition both physically and mentally. This team is not aggressive from the tip and playing fast and pressing requires effort and aggressiveness. My $.02!

Change the pregame warmup and whatever the pregame speeches. Lay off the analytics and more pump.
