High Point (12/6/24)

meaniegreenie · December 7

So, these announcers at the intro called us a high powered offense and Sissoko noted as the "highlight" player???

untbowler · December 7

looking extremely sloppy on the offensive side right now

CMJ · December 7

HPU 6 --------- NT 0

15:26 to go

Can't get anything going on offense.

meaniegreenie · December 7

Playing like a team that hasn't played in a week.

CMJ · December 7

HPU 12 --------- NT 2

14:22 to go

Looking like a rough night early.

CMJ · December 7

HPU 12 --------- NT 9

11:47 to go

Defensive intensity picked up and got us a couple easier buckets. Back in this.

CMJ · December 7

HPU 21 --------- NT 14

7:14 to go

We briefly took the lead, but then the Panthers went on a 9-0 run.

meaniegreenie · December 7

Two of their starters with 2 fouls and Williams with 1. Maybe we can get a couple more on them before the half.

I’m hoping for better pg play compared to last game. We need them to help setup the offense better and get some shots for our guys.

meaniegreenie · December 7

I'm not liking the camera work on this game. Too many zooms that miss the action.

meaniegreenie · December 7

Our only hope may be that Williams can't shoot at the other end of the court.

He's 2 pts from his avg with 4 min to go in 1st. Uggh.

They’re showing too many HPU shots go in against us.

Way to fight back! Great finish to the half!

NT 31 --------- HPU 28

Halftime

Great close...10-0 at the end of the stanza. No Panther points the last 5:07.

I'm thinking we win by 10+ maybe even 15+. They started off very hot from 3 with at one point going 6/14. If that's their gameplan, we should blow them out in the second half unless they finish 50% from 3...

untbowler · December 7

great job closing out the first half strong

Feels good to be up considering High Point had stretches of 12-2 and 9-0.

This is a solid program, at home, coming off a disappointing loss. That’s a very dangerous combination. This will be a good win.

Oh look who was right again.

They are doing everything they need to do, and getting everything they need to get, to hang in here and potentially steal a dub.

In particular, we are having trouble with their 7 footers.

I can see us adjusting and winning by 10, or HP getting a 3-5 point squeeker.
