I think they'll have different announcers for the night games and I don't think tomorrows games are on NBCSN so shouldn't have to worry about her again.
Jared made the first basket of the game but has been quiet since. Could use him to not disappear. Also, if Langevine misses FTs, fine. But everyone else needs to convert those.

We haven't thus far. 4-10 from the line. If this keeps up, we will not win this game. SBU is the best ft shooting team in the league and they are 3-3 from the stripe.
Ct looks out of it. Not the time to play him. Dowtin, Terrell and EC and get Hassan involved. Ec should drive to the basket everytime forget the threes and Terrell needs to get selfish.

To be fair this isn't a game that should have to come down to free throws. In this situation we are the clear better team.
If you say you’re a Rhody fan, I know you are my brother. For you have suffered as I have suffered.
I hate free throws. I have hated free throws since jimmy baron left. It is a fixed distance shot with no defense. If you are playing at the uri level.. asking for 75% doesn't seem impossible.

Um...no?
Love Berry but he's offense only. The offense is scoring...just not hitting free throws at the moment.
Not giving up Iverson's rebounding and defending.

Hopefully st bonaventure racking up fouls hurts them more than us missing free throws helps them...
Offense really struggling otherwise.
Not able to get any rhythm with all the fouls and missed free throws and dumb plays.
Still up 3.
Keep up the defensive intensity and hopefully our offense can deliver a knockout blow.
You can clearly hear the URI band in Pittsburgh. I think the issue with the band is related to all the promotions at the Ryan center during breaks. They hardly ever get to play.
Was that the second play (first one being ECs three against Cincy) all season where we actually got a bucket after Hurley called timeout to set up a play? Good half! 20 more minutes.
- FREE THROWS!!! Cmon guys! KI is was clearly aiming the ball on his misses. Gotta fix that in the 2nd half.
- Save a few lapses I'm very pleased with our perimeter defense.
- I probably write this in all of my observations...but keep taking it to the rim! When we probe against the zone good things happen and Hass gets open.
- I like how we're playing inside. Aggressive and taking advantage of our size. We're killing them on the boards. Keep it up.
- How about EC coast to coast? Beautiful. We're pushing the ball well.
- Some really funky bounces and sequences. Guys falling. Seems like we're having trouble catching the ball at times.
- Stan plays like a car crash sometimes. I guess that's his style of play and he had a nice spin move but he's playing really wild which usually doesn't bode well against a zone/trap.
- Rhody is clearly the better team and should be up 10+. So be it. Make the free throws, keep locking down on D and keep feeding #12 down low. They have no answer for Big Hass.
Free throws and the missed alley oop and missed Jared Terrell layup were probably the worst things about our first half performance.
Either or those layups could've given us some momentum for a run and psychologically it's not good for our shooting to miss all those free throws in general.
