Arch Madness vs. Drake Preview and Game Thread -- 3-6-2022

[Newman104]

Marquise Kennedy and Aher Uguak took 6 threes, Norris and Williamson combined to take 2

That's a losing formula for us. I have 0 idea what the offensive gameplan was that half, but it needs to get fixed.

There was also a huge amount of missed opportunities. Just so many missed layups.

Good news is that the law of averages is on their side. They're almost certainly going to shoot better than 20% from 3 in the second half. They also likely wont turn it over 9 times.

To play as poorly as we did and still have a lead is great. It just should have been a much bigger lead.

Well, we are lucky to be leading at half. The opening effort and focus was beyond poor. That being said, good adjustments especially defensively which led to our huge run and come back. The last 1:30 was bad, can’t let them go on runs. Really hate when we settle for jumpers when we are in the bonus, please drive more when in that opportunity!

As said above, defense is going to what is going to win this game. Keep up the pressure and intensity. It leads to offense and will wear down what has to be a tired drake team. Am really hoping we won’t see the dreaded ref inconsistencies that have showed up in the 2nd half of all the tourney game now.

Drew is making PM look like he had a long leash with his bench.

Drake shooting FTs the rest of the way. Brutal.

[Rambling0101]

Drake is spent— a step slower than 1st half

[Rambler303]
