SURVIVE THE RUN AND GIVE OURSELVES A CHANCE TO WIN

This is a very good team in SCAR. AU doesn't match up well and they are on the road. Just hope they can make a game of it. Getting owned in the paint and on the boards. Long way to go though. 

[jared52 4,354]

AU running their offense 40' from the basket. 

[NoALtiger 3,849]

Not the hot start I would have wanted but we heating up a bit. 11-8 USC. 

[jared52 4,354]

Good offense coming off good defense. 

[au302 2,669]

Playing very good defense. Keeping us in it

[jared52 4,354]

Then right after, bad defense followed by bad offense. Unreal how many offense boards AU still gives up with wiley and Spencer on the floor. 

[Tiger 8,817]

There we go. It's a game now. 13-8. We have been better at surviving our offensive lulls with our defense the last few games.

[jared52 4,354]

Just gotta fix the rebounding and AU can stay in this one. 

[Tiger 8,817]

Beautiful steal and finish by Dunans

[Tiger 8,817]

If we could stop allowing 2nd and 3rd chances we would be a really good team

[au302 2,669]

I really don't think we're playing horribly. They're just making a ton of shots and their defense will take time to get used to. If we can find a way to hang around we can have a shot

Dang Notice hits 2/13 of threes he's taken this year and is now 2 for 2 against us. Yeah guys that ain't gameplanning or effort by our guys. It's called sheer dumb luck

Teams don't lay eggs vs AU. They bring it every time. 

[jared52 4,354]

17 to 5. That's an an amazing rebounding difference.

Yet we're still right in it. If we could rebound and get Wiley a touch almost every possession we'd have more success imo 

[mustache eagle 2,388]

I've watched just a few minutes off and on

we really are good at rebounding ... when the ball falls in our hands ... except mclemore.  He has some nice aggressiveness when on the floor.  It comes and goes for the other guys.  Consistent rebounding needs attitude.  Our guys Havent learned yet to do that.  

[AU64 10,122]

got right back in the game and then turned the ball over 5 times without a shot....

[jared52 4,354]

AU falling apart right now. AU wasn't turning it over before, now they just can't protect the ball. Need a leader to stop this run. 

[NoALtiger 3,849]

Wow, turnover city tonight. Not gonna hang around long like that. 

[mustache eagle 2,388]

Turnovers started when I started paying more attention ... I'll stop watching now so our guys can get back into it

[jared52 4,354]

10-0 run. Not sure AU has more than one shot since that run started. Getting ugly. Bruce needs to pop a vein. AU seems content with their wins last week. Effort today has been less than stellar. 

[AU64 10,122]

At least BP called a TO after we are victims of a 10-0 run......should have done it after those first 4 turnovers...but maybe he can get them to take better care of the ball.....looks like we can shoot with these guys if we can just get the ball up court. 

[tigerbrotha12 2,362]

Carolina gotta be shooting close to 50-60% from 3 at least. They aren't missing much.
