Once the 3's stopped falling and St. Joe's started dominating in the paint, St. Joe's opened up a lead.

21-11 rebounding edge to St. Joe's. Artino doesn't seem very effective.

That dunk by St Joes might be the best dunk I'll see all year.

I was going to comment that St. Joe's has some butt ugly cheerleaders. Then the camera showed the student section. The cheerleaders are the cute ones compared to what I saw there.

That was definitely a charge.

That being said, I really wish we would play some on-ball defense. I don't know why, but we attempt to take way to many charges this year. Is Mac coaching our good on-ball defenders to flop? If say Wragge or Manigat do it, fine. But Echinique and Young, two of our best defenders? It's been happening all year. Stop ball or foul hard....don't give them free 3 pt plays.

Jays got Echenique involved and tied it up, but SJU regains a 6 point lead. Lots of bodies hitting the floor.

St. Joe's has completely taken away McDermott in this 2nd half.

Young has 3 fouls and a bunch of guys have 2 fouls.

2nd half fouls is: Jays 4, St. Joes 1

I hate complaining about refs, but we are getting no favors.

The bigger problem is our inability to guard athletic wings and box them out. Our worst shooting game of the year and we can't defend. WSU is going to give us fits

Really have to hope this is CU's worst game of the season. I know SJU has something to do with it and it's hard to compare teams from watching them against different opponents, but CU sure isn't looking like a top-25 team.

I suspect a lot of Valleycoaches will end up with film of this game. CU just getting dominated around the basket.

Not looking good for CU with a 9 point deficit and under 4 mins to play. Huge foul differential in the 2nd half isn't going to help the comeback either as the Hawks have been shooting two FTs for a while already.
