This team is seemingly allergic to playing with any energy in the first half. Harvard looks like they took their loss in Cambridge personally. Bears are shooting 8% from the field with nine minutes gone. |

Also, looks like Owusu-Anane and Friday are on the bench in street clothes. Malachi Ndur makes an appearance and brings some energy, but not a whole lot of coordination. Defense keeping Harvard somewhat in reach. |

Bears are shooting 8% from the field with nine minutes gone. And... yes, they kept it up. Bears were actually down 19-2 with 5mins left in the first half, then inched back to only trail 29-8 at the break. Unbelievable, not to mention unfortunate, for the Bears. |

If he ever decides to stop coaching, Mike could make a good living bottling whatever he does at halftime and selling it. Scored more points in the second half thus far than in the entirety of the first half. |

Brown was three of 25 in the first half Harvard was 11 for 22. |

Mike might begin giving is halftime speech before the first half. |

I’m with you, Old Bear. Yes, this team has some fight in it, but it’s getting pretty old seeing the same dynamic play out each game. Bears dig themselves into a hole, Bears make valiant comeback, Bears fall short, Mike comes out and says the team can/has to play better for all 40 minutes next time. Rinse, repeat. I’m not calling for Mike’s head or anything like that, but the coaching staff needs to figure something out here to save some pride this season. This is supposedly our best team in years and we look a lot more like 3-11 / 4-10 teams than we do like any of the more recent vintages that have pushed for a tourney spot. In recent years, I can remember Amaker totally shaking up his rotation, at least temporarily, to get a response from his team. Why not throw some of the guys deeper on the bench out there - we just watched this team score 8 points in 20 minutes, it’s not as if those guys are going to play worse than that. I wouldn’t bet on us in any of our upcoming games, beyond the Columbia match up. Disappointing to be here, but hopefully the guys will respond, for their own sakes. |

Maybe now we can relax and have fun. To “Ted Lasso we need to be a goldfish. |

Didn’t see that 2nd half. Too slack-jawed by the 1st.
