Tough game with guys out.  Hopefully the crowd can help get the guys over the hump.

I don’t think we are allowed to step on the court during play….. but I will ask…..

If you don't think a good crowd can help the home team, then I don't even know.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

It’s a good crowd but we need to be promoting it more on campus.

Fastest Moore has ever been put in a game.

Not having a true PG so far has hurt us.

I understand the logic behind it…. But having been on all ends of it in one way or another it shouldn’t affect anybody. Crowd noise is crowd noise rather on the road or at home if you can get through that mentally it will be better for you. People get loud and cheer at every game. Take it all the same along with the silence as well.

This study was done comparing home records and foul calls in the season around the pandemic vs in 20-21 when there weren't many/any crowds.  There was definitely a difference.

USF 12 -------- NT 7

 

11:16 to go

 

Bulls breaking down our defense more than we can afford right now.  Sissoko with some good play early, but he needs to make some of his free throws.

And Hodge learned from it quickly

First year STH here. For others, how often are your "reserved" sleeves not on your seats?

I assumed it was to send a message to Edwards after his bad foul then turnover. 

[HoosMeanGreen]

I don’t think the play through Sissoko is the correct game plan. Edwards/Scott/Buggs with 2 shot attempts combined through first 10 minutes.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

Bold move leaving Scott in with three fouls.

Well he is about to enter again. We simply lack death. Would like to see 2-3 minutes of Cotton.

USF is pretty small…typed as Sissoko got cooked in the post

USF 21 -------- NT 17

 

6:42 to go

 

Edwards already has eleven.  He might need to score 40+ tonight unless he gets more than just Sissoko helping.

It feels like we'll need him to score 50 given the point production of the rest of the team tonight.
