Center Court: Ben Ball (Humboldt State) Second Half Thread

Uh, I guess with our guards (JA and MR) back in action the Ben Ball warriors look just a little different tonight. Bruins are up against Humboldt State by a score of 41-34. If not for couple of missed dunks and missed FTs the margin would be higher. They were up by 10 pts couple of different times during the half. The ball movement is so much better tonight with JA running the point. He looks relatively healthy (knock on wood) as do MR. So far this half it looks like they have taken couple of steps forward after last week's sloppy outing. DG filled up the box score with 11 pts, 4 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 4 steals.
Still they have lot more to work on. For the short term they will have to do a better job of playing interior defense in the second half and also rebound better. They were out rebounded by a margin of 11-24. That number will not be acceptable for CBH. He is going to be zoning in on that number during half time and also preach defense. We have a lot of work to do in that department.
Let's hope they can come out and keep improving in the second half and wrap things up setting themselves up in a decent frame of mine heading into season opener next week. Time for the second half thread. Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

In re: previous comment about Nelson
I am quickly becoming a fan. You can see the talent oozing.

Good aggressive move by Drago
Makes up for that pull up jumper in transition :-/

I'd say it's a good move regardless

Nice steal by JA
But lead pass was too long for DG. DG throws it off…himself, going out of bounds.

they really don't fear our interior defense

Our bigs aren't paying attention half the time
I don’t blame them

We are doing a better job of cutting off the passing lanes tonight
But need to rotate better inside and also not let up on the ball pressure.

We're lucky
these guys can’t hit wide open 3-pointers tonight.

Moser struggling with his shot
Appears reports of his struggles were on the money. Let’s hope he develops it faster than the Prince did, although I’ll be happy if his defense is anywhere as close to as tenacious as Luc’s.

Someone needs to let the scoreboard operator know
that they can increase the framerate on the replays a tad

Please don’t let this becoming a FT shooting contest. And not just because we’re bad at it.
