60% of the way through the 1st half and Raynaud with more fouls (1) than points (0) is never a good winning recipe.

Both offenses getting going a bit more.
Our good news? no fouls
Our bad news? we've given up 5 offensive boards to them already, all to their big Ndongo

---

Their Ndongo is killing us.
On track to score 36 pts and grab 24 rebounds.

Raynaud looks tired. Or jet lagged. Or both.
He's being double teamed a lot.
And not handling it as well as he usually does.

West to east travel is … not easy. Coach Smith needs to talk to some business folks who do this regularly. Learn their tricks.

So true. I do it often. My intentions: never fly red eye, never fly so early you have to be up at 2 or 3 am to catch your flight.
But that's me. Of course I'm old, and also am watching our young guys run up and down the court and not doing it myself.
Also I have a capability of usually being able to nod off on the flight. Which my millennial daughters detest me for.

Never did get the hang of it. Worst ever: airline completely screwed up my connection at O’Hare. Got to Philly at 3 am. 6:30 call to set up.

Yes, that would be brutal. Reminds me of rule #3: avoid connections whenever possible. If must do, then ignore the published minimum connection times for airports. They might only apply to OJ with no carry on bags and staying within the same concourse of the same terminal. 60 min is bare planning minimum if to be on same airline same concourse. Otherwise 90 min much better. Even then crap can happen, as you noted.

---

With only about a min left to go in 1st half,
and while no one game does a season make,
I feel our spot positioned nicely in a perch on top of the NIT bubble suddenly becoming a bit more precarious.

---

I imagine Coach KS not very pleasantly amused in the halftime locker room.
As our defensive intensity, especially in rebounding, is just not happening.
Their guy Ndongo has as many total rebounds as our 5 starters combined,
and he has 3x the offensive boards of our 5 starters combined.

---

Their double teams of Raynaud are really effective.
They either getting a turnover out of it.
Or if we don't throw it away, then by the time a long pass goes to an open guy, their D has recovered to already cover that guy.
