Southern Illinois Game Thread

[I.I.]

Need as much Taplin as available tonight. Scott and Korita can play against this group. Moore very hesitant at this point and Barnes really struggling with his shot.

 

[URedskin54]

I get what Haith is trying to do but using these games to try out every player combination we have is going to burn us eventually

 

[nevadanatural]

Well, we have a three point lead at half despite some sloppy ball handling (10 turnovers) and poor switching on D letting them hit 5 of 9 threes. If we can clean it up the second half we should walk away with it.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Now we just need Jeffries not to come in and foul.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

10 turnovers in a half is too many. Most of them were not due to great defense.

This team is still not playing anywhere near it’s ceiling.

If Jeffries plays his usual game in the 2nd half, we should pull away.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Leading in offensive and defensive rebounds.

 

[I.I.]

Falokun shoots 70% from the field and Igbanu 64%. Get them the ball. Both find shooters when doubled.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Only 3 assists, nobody has more than one. That should change second half.

 

[TulsaRising1]

Looks like he was at the poker table all night last night. Probably using someone else's credit card.

He also said its hard to recruit to Tulsa because we have Tulane and East Carolina in our conference? Typical Aggie spouting off about things he has no idea about

 

[I.I.]

Shorten the subs this half so we have a good chance to win. Not time to experiment in a tight “bubble “ game.

SIU is shooting sh*t from 2, need to shut down their 3 pt shooting.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Their C with three fouls.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Lloyd with 3.

 

[I.I.]

6 point lead take 5 players out.

 

[URedskin54]

The line change didn't work well. Imagine that

 

[TulsaFan01]

Ugh why can’t we ever stretch a 6 point lead out to 10 plus...

 

[I.I.]

Korita sweet shot. Moore????

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Korita looking good from 3 for once.

 

[I.I.]

Ugh why can’t we ever stretch a 6 point lead out to 10 plus...

See above

 

[TulsaRising1]

We just don't seem to play very inspired

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Still don’t guard the 3 point line. At some point you’d think we’d learn

 

[I.I.]

The six point lead gave us great momentum. No coach in the country would have taken all 5 out. They are not tired. The commercials are 5 minutes long.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Daquan!!!

 

[TulsaFan01]

Aaaaaaannnd the lead is gone

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Bartley with 3, thats 3 with 3.

 

[TulsaFan01]

My god they heave up a prayer and bank it in. Are you kidding me

 

[nevadanatural]

Now they’re throwing up prayers and making them.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Bank 3, lovely.

 

[Weatherdemon]

It feels like they’re working harder for a shot than us but, they’re better shooters than us and very patient.

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Still over 50% from 3 thanks to the Bank.

 

[TulsaFan01]

Great I love getting pissed at 1:00am.. I don’t want to go to bed angry come on Tulsa...

 

[TulsaFan01]

SIU on the verge of busting this open..

 

[TulsaRising1]

Not trying to melt, but I'm starting to get tired of Frank Haith basketball. Undisciplined and uninspired

 

[Gmoney4WW]

Thank you Lloyd for that 4th foul.

 

[Tulsafanzz]

One team is playing inspired, & then there’s us.

 

[I.I.]

siu with 6 point lead. Come on Barry put in a new five.

 

[astonmartin708_rivals]

Horne can't play defense. He's basically a statue. Wasn't worth the Redshirt.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Every team TU plays this year will be bigger down low, and will have better 3-point shooters.

Haith will have a challenge on his hands.

 

[TulsaFan01]

11-0 run. Damnit
