Halftime for the USD at MSU-Mankato game
The Coyotes need to come out with more energy at the half. Boots will make sure the adjustments are made. The Coyotes need to be more aggressive and less tentative on the offensive end. Things started to be clicking better as the half ended, but improvements still need to be made. Steve Smith leads the Coyotes with 7 points and was able to hold himself to 2 fouls. Eric Hall, Dylan Grimsley, and Mitch Begeman all have 6 points for the Coyotes. The Mavericks have been grabbing more rebounds with a 21-15 edge. Santos has 8 rebounds by himself right now and leads the Mavs in scoring with 11 points. Grimsley and Begeman both have 3 rebounds apiece. Tyler Cain and Smith have 2 combined boards. They need to attack the boards better against Santos and find a way to box him out. It seems Santos is having his way inside. If they can frustrate Santos like they did in the Dome, this game will turn around for the Coyotes. The Coyotes also have 7 turnovers to the Mavs 6. They need to pressure the Mavs into more turnovers. Let’s see if the Coyotes can turn it around in the second half.
Some NCC scores to pass along
UNO 53 at St. Cloud State 42 at the half. This game is important because UNO is playing great ball and St. Cloud State is not that easy to play at.
UND 12 at Augie 15 at the 12:00 mark in the first. I am just waiting for this game to break lose for Augie as they are at home.
