Can't ask for a much better half of basketball

 

[vader]

17 at the half is acceptable

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I guess you gotta love the confidence for a team down 17 at the half.

 

[joevols89]

Keep the intensity in the 2nd half, don’t let LSU back in it.

They'll get Miller back so just don't let him get hot and we should run away with it.

 

[Volprofch05]

Nice first half! The only thing missing was Will Wade’s sad face

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Just like football

Some of the LSU football team might shoot better 3s than these guys today.

 

[tnvols72]

JJJ might miss more break away dunks on our team than any other player lol.

As soon as he broke away I said oh no

 

[hUTch2002]

Any more questions? Anybody know what his plus minus numbers are?

He really Keyed that run. I’ll put myself in the corner.

 

[ColinS]

I have never seen a player that cant hit layups or misses a dunk like JJJ. Been here forever and still cant make one. Makes no sense

He is better from 23 feet than he is from zero

 

[TooLegit2Quit]

Good half for JJJ and Phillips. ZZ also with 6 assists and 0 TOs.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Aidoo as straight up as it gets.

Garbage call pure and simple. Mercy reffing maybe.

 

[Volfan2012]

5 of 14 two pointers and 8 of 19 three pointers. I love it when were hitting the threes.

 

[vol94]

Missed dunk turns into a possible old fashion three point the other way . Can’t miss dunks. I’m 5’9 so never had to worry about it.

NFL update- Jax answered to tie the Chiefs @ 7-7. Kelce scored for KC and Lawrence had a TD pass - not sure to whom.

he really is

Yeah. Missing an uncontested dunk is hard to watch. I can’t recall who it was but the rim blocked a player’s attempted dunk the other night. . I think it was a college game but it was so bad and I felt for the kid. It was a breakaway layup or dunk and he didn’t have the hops….. it was so bad.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Remember last year when JJJ and Santi were u stoppable late in the year?

Damn, what happened???

Need those two to turn up

 

[Lukusw]

Solid first half on the road. I thought Philips 2 fouls were unlucky (1st was a foul, but after ref didn't call LSU on Philips' shot). 2nd foul i thought could have been called a moving screen. But i like Barnes letting him come back in. He played well.

Key--I like it!

Also, can anyone tell me--is ORN sick too? Is he playing today? I don't remember seeing him in the first half /s

 

[vol94]

Up 17 at the half = awesome! It’s so difficult to win at that arena. I think it’s been four to five yrs since TN has won @ LSU.

Play smart, DONT foul and make LSU earn it, attack and rebound.

 

[feathersax]

Keep throwing up the long-range bricks, LSU. 39-22 lead at halftime is good.

Unfortunately I remember orn playing in the first half. It’s no coincidence that we went on our run with him off the court

 

[vol94]

FYI- Mahomes is hurt as he rolled his ankle. First qtr just ended. 7-7

He is out making someone a strong ass offer!

He is out making someone a strong ass offer!

Hopefully at the used car dealership, where he belongs

 

[Ovol]

Key +10 at the half.

 

[Vols till I fall]

Don't put Nkahmoua in
