They never quit and I'll give them that, but they need to realize that everyone is going to come at us hard and they need to come out from the jump with that intensity they had the second half. Losing Maxie definitely hurt, but even with the shitty first half, Maxie's injury, and deep foul trouble, they still had a shot. Just didn't execute down the stretch

Have to come with a full 40, and when they do, wins will follow.
Definitely showed some sack coming back the second half

To me, today's second half is fool's gold. This is an above average, top 40-50 team. That would be okay if we did not see that mirage the first half of the season.

They quit in the first half. And I'd say Cady quit on defense but in order to quit you have to start playing D.

My personal turning point was the terrible offensive foul on Cady to foul him out.. In person we played with a lot more heart in the second half then we have in awhile.. And the officiating was absolutely pitiful.. No idea how some of these guys have jobs

Are you saying that wasn't a foul on Cady? He was moving and threw his hip into the St. Joe's player.

From my point of view it looked like was a regular pick.. Was sitting behind the hoop

Completely wrong. He was clearly moving and stuck his leg and hip out into the guy. They replayed it a couple of times. Wasn't even close. It was a stupid play by Cady.

If they played with half the passion in the 1st half that they did in the 2nd half they woudl have won this game. At least they fought back and gave some hope. If they would have puled this off it would have great! Two bad losses on this trip and lets hope Maxie isn't another loss. They now have the 'power' of the A10 left to play and most are at home where they are 34-5 since the start of the 2011/12 season.

That was a foul by Cady. It's not even a question.

^ While technically a foul, I thought it was a bad call too. The contact was minimal. They called a lot of touch fouls in the 2nd half.

You have to be a homer to the max to not think that was a foul. He stuck his leg and hip out and hip checked the guy.

Cady probably set that bad pick intentionally so he could physically check out of the game he mentally never checked into.

I'll trade this l if we get that type of performance on o out of dg from here on out.

Dg gets the most attention here but IMO Samson's regression on offense has hurt this team the most. Can't get ANYTHING going. We're struggling to adjust to the fact that we simply have less scoring options than we did to open the year, which stings.
