Man, we are a shitty team in the second half of games. You get the feeling we’re gonna need big leads late in games to win. 25% second half shooting after a terrible second half performance at WSU. It feels like we had great opportunities to go 2-0 over Pac-12 teams and instead gifted ourselves two losses.
Dopa, second verse same as the first.

I think we need to cut this team some slack. Having to play three Pac 12 teams in a row is difficult. Having to travel back and forth across the west coast on a tight schedule the last two games is rough. This is a good team. They pass the eye test and are not being physically handled by these Pac 12 teams (like Montana got handled by a pedestrian Georgia team tonight). This is by far the best team in the BSC. Looking forward to them opening up the BSC play.

This team is good and will get better. As far as second half shooting and unforced turnovers that has to improve, that's what Legans has said. They have managed to get good looks in the second half of the three games...maybe their legs are tired. This is a fun team to watch and sure wish they were playing UNLV on Wedns...Montana State beat UNLV 91-78 couple of weeks ago.

We'll know more today if it was just a bad set of circumstances, or if this problem is more systemic. If we seem the same second half collapse against College of Idaho, the concern is probably very real. This isn't a bad opponent despite being NAIA, they're a decent team that would be able to compete alright in the Big Sky.
Another second half blown lead. This is a pretty major problem. This team could easily be 4-1 right now. Yet, it’s 1-4. That’s a tough pill to swallow, but it feels like there’s about a 10 minute window in every game where shit just falls apart. Clearly, these guys are playing hard and have a lot to offer. But for whatever reason, it isn’t translating to wins.
