NT 12 ---------- McNeese 11

Really back and forth so far. Sissoko stepping up big early.

McNeese 19 ---------- NT 12

8:25 to go

Rough stretch for us. Cowboys on 8-0 run.

So far both teams active defensively. Difference is they’re finishing at the rim, we are not….

CMJ · 2024-11-19T00:36:25Z

McNeese 26 ---------- NT 17

3:36 to go

Cowboys went on a 15-0 run that was spread over around seven minutes. Thankfully we have a lot of time to dig out of the hole.

Big Z · 2024-11-19T00:36:49Z

We’re hustling, just need more shots to drop

L Ron Studdard · 2024-11-19T00:45:13Z

19 in a half...

McNeese 32 ---------- NT 19

Halftime

Tough to win when you shoot around 25 percent.

kingwoodgreen · 2024-11-19T00:46:06Z

This is straight up ugly basketball. We keep driving right into their defense and trying to force shots. Out defense is good but offense is shall I say crap.

Green Lantern · 2024-11-19T00:47:01Z

Rough shooting start for the Mean Green. 25% from the floor 😬

L Ron Studdard · 2024-11-19T00:47:11Z

6-24 shooting with 10 turnovers--a hard watch through 20 minutes.

I hope this is just a bad half, especially for Wright and Floyd, because that was trash

We have no go-to scorer right now in the season. If the 3's are not falling we struggle. Ross keeps wanting the ball pounded down low to draw fouls but we don't have good hands down low.

went 7 minutes without a bucket. not fun when we're on this side of it.

Atin Wright, our big acquisition of you can call it that, has been terrible the past two games. Just can’t make his shots.
If Ross wants to throw the ball down the blocks, why not put Vice or Newell down there. At least they have some semblance of an offensive game. You get some points down low, you’ll open things up on the perimeter.

Son Of A Flying Worm · 2024-11-19T00:56:44Z

Will Hodge open up the second half with a lineup that features Walker/Newell/Sissoko? That lineup has no spacing. McNeese doesn't respect Walker or Newell on the perimeter; Moulaye can't finish in traffic. I guess Hodge does subsitute quickly anyway but . .

It doesn't need to be done by pounding it down low. 6 offensive boards but how many 2nd chance points? Go back up strong and draw contact. Even those rebounded closer to the perimeter, the defense is usually out of sorts because players are standing around watching the ball. Take the board and drive back in the lane. You have to force teams to play clean defense down low. 3s will not always fall.

Geez Sisoko is just so hard to watch. He just lacks the skills to be effective. I groan every time I see him trying to back down the defender.

CMJ · 2024-11-19T01:09:59Z

McNeese 36 ---------- NT 26

15:45 to go

Trying to chip away while some of their key guys pick up fouls.

Pretty sure he got blocked 3 times in the first 4 minutes by shorter guys. No reason for that. I really hope Vice can give us more. We may not find out today but before conference, we need to see what he can give.
