Ramblers are playing good defense.

Also, I think PM either reads Ramblermania or he's on the same page as most of the posters on here because there have been some good adjustments. Cody Johnson getting plenty of playing time and he's making the most of it by scoring 8 points!

Good half. Nice to see some different guys stepping up. Now we need Osborne to join in!

Anyone else glad the lead is only nine at the half? :lol:

Lots of great signs in the first half. White with 5 assists and 4 rebounds. Cody Johnson with 10 minutes, 8 points, 2 rebounds. Turk has played the most minutes of anyone (17) and has a game high 14 points. Osborne with only 1 minute, no fouls-- now is the time for him to step up in the second half. O'Leary at only 11 minutes in the first half-- well below his average. Even Tony Nixon got on the board with a three.

Now we have a much fresher group of experienced players to put on the floor when Fordham makes a push in the second half, while Fordham has only played 7 players. The Rams' Severe, Smith and Frazier have played all 20 minutes so far.

I agree. I was really worried about our ability to rebound over some of Fordham's big guys, but we're doing an excellent job on the boards. I'm glad that PM is rotating in Nixon and Dokubo to give White a breather.

Joe Crisman actually took an open shot and made it!

We're really draining our 3s! Turk is looking like his old self!

My keys to the second half:

- Doyle and White need to continue penetrating and getting some of those easy hoops. There should be more opportunities now that their defense is spreading out a bit.
- Defend the post! I don't know why Fordham is not going inside all day on us! They were getting some easy baskets under the rim.
- Keep the bench involved. Our main guys need to be fresh to close out the game strong.

DAMN IT!

Why do we always play like this in the second half?!?!?!?!

Lead cut down to 2 in 3 mins and 15 seconds.

We got some good looks but can't convert. Guys are throwing up air balls!

Maybe Ambien and chamomile tea isn't the best halftime refresher.
