Was there any explanation as to why it was expected SF would have homecourt advantage until UNT tweeted the opposite a few days ago?

No idea how but one thing may be that USF has been the home team for every games so far (according to the CBI bracket). UNT has been on the road for 1... It allows both teams to potentially have the same number of home/away games.

[EagleMBA]

No focus. Hard to watch.

[MeanMag]

They just need to relax. They look like they are trying too hard.

[BTG_Fan1]

Do they only have the lower section open? pushing everyone to the bottom?

This is where experience and chemistry comes into play. We were starting to gel in this tournament but easy to dissect when you have more time to look at our tape. Looks like McCasland switched up the defense which is helping.

USF 29 -------- NT 17

 

7:59 to go

 

We are settling in a bit after being down 18 early.

[RiseUNT]

These are clearly the 2 best teams in CBI

[Mean Green Matt]

The 3s aren't falling tonight. That makes a big difference. However, if we can get it to 10 or less at halftime it is far from over. Because the 3s may start again.

Love Draper but he is shooting very cold tonight.

Just play back on Woodridge and our half court offense is dead.

Better stretch. Draper has the green light, sure. But ease up on the 30 footers. Shoot something in rhythm. 

I think we can claw back into this. Get it to 6-8 before the break.

No doubt. He has to develop a jumper, has to.

To me its been that all there shots are coming easy and none of ours are. That's just defense and knowing where to be on the court. That's when being a young team and lacking discipline comes into play. Like the commentator mentioned, we definitely look like the more athletic team. Its been their ball movement and position on the court and our lack thereof thats been killing us.

Good thing this is a best of 3.  

[CMJ]

USF 37 -------- NT 24

 

3:46 to go

 

If we can just get this to ten or so at the break, I think we can settle in and make a push in the second.

[Harry]

Miller was just out of control on that play.  He will get better.

[RBTX]

So far just making too many mistakes. Settled in after the first 10 mins but to get back in it just have to play disciplined and smart

[emmitt01]

They are carving our defense up with cutters and ball movement.  

We are doing nothing to prevent them from extending their defense out to the arc.

[MeanMag]

Duffy's contested three point spin shot not even looking at the basket with a full possession clock... *cringe*

Slow down and relax guys.

Agree...three guys fighting over a rebound and losing it out of bounds.

They do seem nervous.  Definately need to calm down.

[greenminer]

Would like to see this at or less-than 10 at the break.

[greenminer]

They are over 60% from 3
