Down 8-6 with under 16 to go... Taylor is doing great with rebounds.

[DC01HERD]

Taylor is battling on the boards.

[herdfan129]

Up 11-10 with under 12 to go. We are playing hard, hitting the glass.

On a side note, this announcer is TERRIBLE

[herdfan129]

Up 21-17 with 7:17 to go in half. We are looking pretty good imo.

31-19 3:23

[herdfan129]

Up 31-19 with 3:23 to go in half. West has shut this Preston kid down so far and has him frustrated.

We are playing great team ball and just flat out playing harder than Ohio.

Here we go again.  Puts in a bunch of subs who immediately throw the ball away, miss foul shots, commit a bunch of silly fouls, etc., and, poof, there goes the Herd's 12 point lead.  Someone please nudge D'Antoni and wake him up!!

[herdfan129]

Up 35-33 at the half!

[Big City]

This team is really good at blowing a lead before half.

Frustrating

[DC01HERD]

Dan never calling a timeout just boggles my mind. It's frustrating.

[coalherd]

This team is really good at blowing a lead before half.

Frustrating

Danny D. is awful in his use of time outs.  Almost as if he thinks its a sign of weakness if he uses one when the opponent gets on a hot run.  Its part of coaching; bringing your team over, pointing out things that are wrong, or things not being done correctly, either on the offensive end or in playing D.  Its what good, experienced coaches do.  Anything but sitting and just being another spectator!

[coalherd]

Wow!  Just heard the half time stats.  We're up ok in rebounding.  Shot about 40-41% from the field, but ONE for FOURTEEN from three land!!  A whopping SEVEN PER CENT!!  Can't do that badly in the 2nd half, can we??

[MUonium]

some shots are just difficult for various reasons, but what i'm seeing from Jannson, Andrew and David is that they let their hips and legs alter their shots.  not squaring the upper bodies and following through all the way.  not finishing shots closer to the basket.  if you are really ahthletic, plastic, more body control like Kinsey and George, for examples, you have more can get by with more lower body movement.  otherwise, not a bad game so far

[herdfan129]

Up 46-41 under 16 to go. Obinna with two big 3s.

[herdfan129]

JW would fall for a pump fake from half court.

[herdfan129]

Taylor looking good with being more aggressive driving the ball to the hoop. Up 52-45 and Ohio takes a TO.

[overherd1]

Need to finish game strong!

[herdfan129]

Up 62-49 with under 8 to go. Just have to play smart down the stretch.

[DC01HERD]

Obinna and Taylor playing well.

[herdorbust]

Need to finish game strong!

Play smart and look for good shoots. No rushed shots.

[Herdalum83]

This second half is the most comfortable Obinna has looked in his young Herd career.

[MUonium]

seems like way too many time outs.  And, Jake is annoying as ___

[herdfan129]

Up 73-61 with under 4 to go.

[Herdalum83]

This is also the best rebounding team DD has had.

[SouthernHerd]

Byers is putting on a dunking exhibition today.  He is very explosive attacking the rim.
