Our offense was good for 32 minutes, and our defense was good for 35 minutes. Both WAY MORE than the "which half" you referred to. And in those closing minutes, both were partially capable and equally culpable if we are playing the blame game.

I was at the game, and thinking, the good thing is we have not stopped running our offense and we are not slowing it down. I hate that slowdown crap. So what happened? Davidson turned up their intensity and defense. They stopped letting us get the ball inside, even doubling Obi before he got the ball. We ran the same offense, with not the earlier results.
We saw a similar thing Sat against VCU. Desperate teams play much harder.
