Thanks god we're ahead. Really hated so much about that half. Nothing more frustrating than getting dominated on the boards. Gotta get Quinn going in the 2H
And 2 fouls on Justise. We've got three players with 2 fouls. If Jah or Justise get another one early in the 2nd half we're going to be in a little trouble.

horrible play the last 3 minutes. we basically had the game won with wright at 3 fouls and 1 and 0 on Jah and Justice. then Jah picks up 2 and Justice one foul. unreal.
Jefferson needs to be in the game instead of Matt Jones. He was really helping on the boards. Tyus Jones needs to wake up.
Rough call on wright. Sloppy end to the half, can't remember the last time we finished one well.
Pleased that we are up 5 and fighting. I like our defense. Keep it up guys!

Really lucky we are up by five. seems like the game is being played in mud, slow and sloppy for both teams. we've gotten a couple of breaks on calls but they gotten some also. Maybe Coach picked up something and can make the big adjustments that are needed. We had our chance to get up big and couldn't extend the lead. Could be a lot worse though. Need to get Wright his 4th foul quick and keep Utah off the offensive boards. OFC
We are really stagnant on offense. Watching Tyus dribble above the 3 point line is frustrating. Jefferson needs to play in this game, this is his type of game
Damn, we had a chance to blow it open, and 2 or 3 trips down the floor and nothing! Don't have a good feeling about this game. Guards (Quinn & Tyus) must penetrate and let Jah feed off of that. Everyone seems to be standing around when they do go down to Jah. This is where the guards are going to have to take over.
Playing really good defense, and I hope we can contain Wright in the 2nd Half. Feel like he might go off.
Hang in there guys and stay together, this is going to be tough.
Go Duke!!

I don't feel good about that half even though we are up. Our offense is very stagnant and I just feel guarding them (as well as we did) is much harder than them guarding us. They are killing us on the boards also....getting Wright a very early fourth foul is a key to me. I feel like their offense with their cutting will eventually open up a little.
I felel best about Coach Ks comments at half. Maybe he can settle these guys down a little, I agree we can certainly play better....but I think so can they. I just hope that last three minutes doesn't bite us!

Man are we tight! At least we are smothering them on D. We really need Quinn to hit a three early. They are packing the paint. We need to create some space. First 4 minutes will be crutial!
Second half, I hope we don't come out and play to keep from losing! Be aggressive and assert ourselves, if we don't impose our will, this will go down to the wire.
Come on Tyus and Quinn, it's now or never! Where's that 3 to keep your streak alive Quinn? Rebound, get out and run if possible, don't let them set up their defense!
Go Duke!!

Amile might slow down the offense a little, but we're going to need his rebounding and as a cutter for Jah's passes.

Winslow is too good for that garbage. Twice in this tournament this team has been burned on silly, unnecessary plays. Just play ball!
Winslow won't forget to get back on D again I guarantee . He really looked bad on that. Chris Webber dunked on Duke at Cameron years ago and while celebrating in front of the crazies the man he was guarding who was Grant Hill was dunking the ball at the other end. Sorry for the rambling on but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw that. Love you though Justise you are playing big tonight. OFC
