Has Frank ever drawn up a play that works at the end of the first half?

Doesn’t matter when they can’t take care of the ball. Just with slight ball pressure they fold.
Joiner needs to shoot 1000 practice free throws and here’s a revelation... put some rotation on your release.

We’re +12 on rebounds at the half but -5 on turnovers. We need to value the ball and make some shots.

Nice close game at the moment. Hopefully we can get some rhythm on offense soon.
Nearly impossible to find any rhythm with the way the game is being called. Rachal got called for a foul when the Tulane player dipped and moved into him. Horne got called for something similar a couple minutes later. It’s really bad officiating. I’d much rather see a game where they let more go in both sides than an NBA game.

Defense is fine. Objectively our offensive sets haven’t been bad, we just can’t hit a shot. And the next time Igbanu puts the ball on the floor from inside the lane someone from TU needs to slap the crap out of him. I’d much rather see Ugboh catching and going up with position and missing than Igbanu’s indecisive and near turnovers. If we keep rebounding in the offensive end the way we are we should be able to pull away.

Joiner finally takes an open shot ! Whoever told him not to shoot as a PG is a fool.

This color guy is a complete tool. That wasn’t a punch. Either give us an option to turn off the announcers or get a real crew.

Also, officials waited way too long to cal jump ball. Someone can get hurt.

Shots are falling and that always makes the offense look better. We’re getting the same looks we got in the 1st half. We are giving up too many 2nd chances this half.

Take care of the ball, keep hitting shots and this could be over soon.

After that 'punch', we have manned up and been playing better. Showing a little bit of mean.

Joiner scares me every time he dribbles or shoots free throws. Lol.

I should start turning the game on during the second half every time. That seems to work well.

Best thing seen so far - female Tulane band member playing a horn whilst holding her iPhone in her hand.

We don't just need to protect the lead, we need to keep it at 10+. 10+ Road win is nice for the net.

Got to stay aggressive on the offensive end. Time to finish and win.

King cake is for tourists.

The refs called a bad game, but I didn't get the idea that the home office put a sticky note in the refs pregame prep.

If Jackson can become a threat for 3 as opposed to a player to ignore it will open up the inside game and he should get more playing time. Igbanu got to the line which we need to win. Rachel is just a player.

Good win, road wins in conference are huge

Just like Wednesday's game...a shaky first half and a much stronger second. The team won the road games that they absolutely had to win.

Martins Igbanu's best game of the season by far. Hope he keeps that momentum.

The game was a grinder that finished very well.

Tulsa is all alone at the top of the AAC standings! (at least until the end of the Houston vs. Wichita State game)

I don’t understand this take. IMO, he’s been one of our steadier players. Sure he doesn’t fill up the scoring column but he doesn’t seem to panic and plays within himself.

I can't believe that Wichita got schooled in the first half against Houston after the Temple loss. Looks like we will be all alone in first minus a miraculous finish in the last 5 minutes by Wichita St.
