11-3 with the Big lineup in after 3 minutes, then they brought in Freeman for Lewis

 

[Redbird222]

Lewis has to finish at the rim. He seems to be in a funk offensively too

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

Lead built back up after Freeman comes out. Freeman is better in transition than half court

 

[Redbird Alum 2004]

McChesney!!!

 

[91Bird]

So far so good! Let’s go Birds!!

 

[Redbird222]

They need to keep posting McChesney and make either Reeves or Strong's player either double or leave Liam alone

 

[Bird Friend]

Reeves not shooting well in 1st half which is not unusual.

 

[Bird Friend]

Good stop to end half, but Fleming should’ve taken the shot from 10 feet rather than passing out.

 

[Redbird222]

I would hope that we could get more offensive rebounds with our size advantage

 

[ILLST25]

Could not be happier McChesney is a redbird

 

[Redbird222]

We need to limit the fould next half. Of course we fouled 3 point shooter twice

 

[Matt Hein Fan]

ISU Blue aren’t going to miss as many bunnies as they did in the first half. Have to be ready to take a blow out of the gates and survive. Lots of good things in the first half.

 

[Redbird222]

Lewis with six boards ar rhe half is very good

Hopefully we can start making our bunnies too

Reeves seemed to hurrying his shots - when there was no need to hurry. Yes, feed McChesney in the paint. As for the offensive rebounding - I see our players becoming a spectator, not moving into rebounding position as either someone is getting ready to shoot or driving. Have to get into position on the weakside for successful offensive rebounding - not doing it.

 

[Loyl2u]

ISU Blue looks like a DII team, small 4 & 3-4 guards- then the announcer says 2 of these players were on Coach’s former DII team last year - sorry, didn’t work for the Birds either and I think we heard the same “NBA like-position less” stuff, at least the Birds aren’t trying to match up with them. The +/- has to be largely in favor of 2 guards vs 3.

Rebounding just doesn’t seem to be an expressed emphasis. I’ve never heard the bench getting on players to get to the boards or follow shots, nor is it discussed by Staff in interviews much. Part of the problem with the 5 out is that while it opens the middle for a dribble drive, no one is already in position to rebound, they have to move aggressively to get there

 

[Adunk33]

As glad as I am the Birds are up 10, it feels like they should be up 25 with how bad INST has been.

 

[Redbird222]

We need to get Strong some shots

 

[Redbird222]

We need to get Strong some shots

And then he misses two and throws the ball away. What do I know
