No defensive pressure in this half. Give UNLV credit, they came to play. We need to get out heads out of our asses and step it up! Put a fucken hand in the guys face when he shoots for once.
I had a feeling this game would be tough. Plain and simple, unlv is hitting some well contested shots. That usually happens when a team is fired up to play great. What usually happens after halftime though is that they go cold and those contested shots they were taking in the first half don't fall and they settle in to their normal percentages. Our guys are playing tough, we have to make better passes. Our guys should be alright in the second half though.BEARDOWN AND KEEP PLAYING TOUGH!
The other thing is this: Birch has 3 fouls. So, one more and he sits til the last few minutes. We need to go inside and challenge him more. Also, UNLV needs to play another half like that, and that's hard to do. I'm sure that Miller will make some adjustments, and hopefully we get them off their hot shooting. It's confidence. We need to disrupt their confidence, and throw them off their game.
Halftime usually has a way of cooling a team off offensively. Unlv is making some well guarded shots. Our guys just need to keep doing what they are doing. The percentages will settle in and it SHOULD go Arizona's way. I'm just glad our guys aren't down by more! I was worried our guys would have been down 10 points or so.
