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 the previous game
They said they do the play-by-play for UCLA Women’s Basketball.
oh my
goodness. Roll went past the defender like his feet were caught in cement!
Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.
There is that classic
double down low leading to a steal!

That's not cool man
I had gone away to brush my teeth!! Doing my last check in (ok I will hang for 10 more mins).
Endurance test
You have to be ready for the start of the regular season.
Which is only 1 game away.
Train, N. Train!

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.
Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.
Man ... my mouth is watering
If we can hold on to all of our guys … and add McCallum to Lamb/Smith class of this year ….
Gotta leave this to the younger crowd.
Here in Geezerville, it’s mandatory lights out. If anyone sees a light on at this time of night, they call for the roving urologist.
announcer suggesting matchup zone
good luck w/ that

Ha
you’d think they’d have learned by now.
Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.
Nice hustle
disagree with the foul call.
Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.

moser doghouse!
poor guy, seems always a bad shot is followed by the other guys going down and canning a 3
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

Concordia was uncanny
They seemed to hit every key shot from the field and every FT. At least Hunboldt is shooting like normal human beings tonight.
yeah, baby!
yeah baby! yeah baby! yeah baby!

Are they doing
a Bonfire and rally this year? I don’t think they did it last year.
Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.

Oh UCLA you sweet bitch, you've BRUINed me for anything else.

Reeves didn’t like that last chop across the arm
Threw the ball at the head of the guy that did it.
Yeah, Bobo liked that too. Looked like RN talked some smack also
