Down 7 at half, we come out and immediately go down 14 in the first two and a half minutes. In the next six minute mark we fight back to get it to 8 again. The big reason we didn't roll over at that point was Kodi kept us in the game by scoring nine points in that time. At the 12 minute time out when we emerged from the huddle, Kodi was on the bench. You would think a quick blow after the TV timeout, then back in, right? You forget who runs the subs in and out. Kodi came back in when and only when Ravern fouled out at the 5:14 mark. For those seven minutes the lead briefly got down to 6 but mostly stayed in the 9-12 range. When "forced" to put Kodi back in we were down 12. Kodi immediately got a rebound and scored, and was never heard from again.
I'm not saying we would have won had Kodi played more, but for a team searching for an identity on offense, I don't understand why you sit a guy who give you nine points in eight minutes for such a long stretch of the second half.
