Sloppy start for the Coogs

If that is what it takes to get him going, I’m glad to help :grin:

Coogs are starting to look better

Rob Gray might be coming out slump. He has 10 points and a couple of threes

Coogs up to 6 fouls with 10:43 left in the half

27-19 Coogs with 7:39 left in the half

Coogs up to 7 fouls now. White and Davis both have 2 each.

White used the glass on that second follow. Not using the glass is why he missed the first one. Zanna got away with murder on that last move. Classic hook. Gray looks like the Gray from last season. Really playing well so far.
