Jackson and Ashworth both had great first halves.

How many second chance points have we given up? I know we’ve given up eight offensive rebounds

King is absolutely unplayable. Thanks for what you’ve done but it’s time to move on when this season is over

King was serviceable to get Kalkbrenner a few minutes to breathe. We really need Neal to wake up to win this one, and he's selling hard at the moment.

Your definition of serviceable and everyone else’s are vastly different. He ate a couple minutes but was not good

He's backing up the 4x DPoY. Whaddya expect from a guy who gets 6 mpg?

To not be a -3 in 2 minutes

We're definitely hitting 3 PT shots, but most of the attempts have been pretty open and if they sell out to keep the ball out of Kalk's hands in the paint, we'll keep seeing open shots

Otherwise we haven't played our A game at all. Need to hold onto the ball and make better passes, get more ball movement and movement without the ball.. and block the heck out on D

Defense has been solid and 3 PT shooting great (although on aa lot of open shots), but we really haven't blocked out and the turnovers have been sloppy. Clean up those things, get the ball to Kalk, and I like our chances in the second half

Up 2 on the number 1 overall seed, keep fighting boys!

+1 million

Let’s do this. Love these guys. Much more adversity than last year, and they never give up.

Definitely think is still a B game at the moment with the execution on the boards and stickiness/sloppiness on offense.

Defensive game plan has been an A+ though, just gotta rebound and keep daring them into take midrange jumpers and hope the paint opens up in the second half as Auburn has to start faceguarding McAndrews and Ashworth.

To be fair he kept alive a ball Ashworth just lost control of to avoid a pick six — and that resulted in a McAndrew three. He also got at least one board to prevent another offensive board. He wasn’t great, but he managed to make some during that run, where we really did need to sit Kalk for a bit.

5-13 front 2 is a concerning number. As much as I'd like to see 65% from 3 again it's highly unlikely.
