I am too far in my cups to add up the actual numbers, but my impression is we have been beat in the second half of almost every loss this year. I think it speaks to coaching.
Why is this happening? Why do our opponents seem better prepared to play after the halftime whistle? And Kennedy, our most electric player sat most of that second half against CSU as punishment for errors? He is a freshman right??
Our wins and losses match up directly with second half scoring. We blew out St Joes and IUPUI in the second half. But outscored by 9 against coppin and 4 today.
I would also suggest that at least against USF and CSU, we came out of halftime very strong. The first counter punch has been good. We came out blazing in both these Cayman games; but run out of gas.
We’ve just failed to finish in the last ~10; mostly with field goal droughts and opponents 3 points shots. We’ve been good making the first two adjustments... but that last segment of the game... ugh.
