22-19 LC at Half.... might be a first to 40 game

I’m sure this shouldn’t be the first time I notice this, so I’m wondering if injury or something is attributing to this, but what is up with Hamlet’s shooting form? It looks a little rough, and that’s the wrong position to have a funky shooting form to get the league. 

He shot like that all last year.

19 points in a half sucks. At least we’ve been very active on the defensive end.

North Texas 19 - Loyola Chicago 22

Halftime

Hamlet scoring with about 15 seconds left in the half ended an 8 minute scoreless streak for us.

I can’t believe I didn’t notice this until now.

I’ve seen 40 point games before....

...when Haskins was coaching in El Paso.

[CMJ]

I've seen other ones too - as long as we win a 40 point game is beautiful.  If we lose it sucks.

Waiting for Reese to start hitting those threes.....

I'm waiting for better shots and for them to start falling.

He has shot great in 3 games. Awful in the rest.

[GrandGreen]

11% from the three is not going to cut it.

I am not sure if it is great defense by either as much as poor offense.  

NT just looked totally off their offensive game.

Just incredibly frustrating watching this team on offense, Hamlet really needs to forcing the issue because everyone else is MIA tonight.

Now starting to see the defense crack a little, with back to back unnecessary fouls yikes.

[Andrew]

Refs need to swallow their whistles... I have had enough.

Seems like both teams are playing slightly better offensively to start this half.

[greenminer]

Is it just me or do both teams play very similarly?

I’ve seen sloppy games before, and it’s pretty common when you matchup two teams with coaches from the same tree.  Tony Barbee/Calipari come to mind.

[greenminer]

This is ugly.  We look out of sync **disclaimer, first full game I’ll be watching**

[UNTFan23]

All these turnovers are going to be the end of us. 😩

[BillySee58]

Turnovers are getting out of control again

[Andrew]

So I’m guessing we don’t practice offense anymore.... 🙃

[BillySee58]

Our starting POSTS have 7 turnovers. 4 for Simmons and 3 for Bell.

[greenminer]

Simmons becomes the first player not named Hamlet to score in the 2nd

[Andrew]

Would be nice if we had people on the bench who could play. Oh wait we do... 🙃

11:26 to go

 

Getting a few more buckets to fall.  Would be nice to get some easy ones in transition.

[greenminer]

We are still in this, but we need one of our guys that plays the 4 or 5 to get their act together and contribute

[greenminer]

I would love a rolling statistic that shows a team’s shooting percentage from the 2 most recent minutes.  Would give me more perspective than just a full-game percentage
