Ok kids...checking out. Foo Fighters are about to take the stage. Enjoy the rest of game!

Have fun -- go Hawks!

Bo is a cold-blooded assassin

 

[HAWKEY3]

Apparently the trick for our bigs is to miss their first two free throws -- Cook & Garza both putting them down now

 

[HAWKEY3]

Bo is a cold-blooded assassin

I saw that post and thought he must drill that 3 before half -- oh well. 52 - 27

Dear God, Garza gonna make us forget all about Woodbury's shortcomings. i mean that in a good way

you talkin' 'bout his arms, again, tk?

 

[Stanzi]

I haven't been able to watch, but I like Garza's stat line at half: 10 points, 5 boards, 3 blocks.

Nice to see Moss hitting threes along with JBo & Brady. Let's hope Fran doesn't enact Moss' disappearing act in the 2nd half like last year.

he looks like a kid that can't sit still. he's got energy galore. as soon as he harnesses his body and can control "all" of his body movements, he'll be a beast. that's where Nunge is ahead of...what's his name?

He hit this weird quick mid ranged jumper.

Absolutely. Dude is impressive. Good hands, good touch on his shot. Big and uses his size well.

well, the beauty with moss is that he doesn't have to be a 3 pt shooter. he's a rhythm player to be sure so can be a little hot / cold. when he's hot, get out of his way. when he's not, sit him and let him relax.

I don't recall always having that luxury. Kudos to Fran for making us forget about "do we put in JR Angle?"

LOL. JR.

 

[HAWKEY3]

We're shooting 41.7% from the line but 50% from beyond the arc.

I guess it's a sacrifice we'll have to live with . . .

Nevermind, espn app was behind. We're shooting 50% from the line

well, garza's missed 3 and cook 2 and i think kriener missed 2. bigs gotta hit from the line. that literally has to be our advantage this season. bigs gotta be a collective 68%-70% from the line or we're toast.

Yes! Improving our shooting percentages at half time. Take that Cougars.

Well, again, it could be "hey Garza, have a seat. Looby's coming in."

 

[thedukeofearl]

As the half went on we protected the rim better, a necessity this season

Now we must improve the free throws

Jud Heathcote @ Michigan State used to have everyone on the team make 10 free throws in a row before they could leave practice
