I gave up on the live stream - anyone who listed to the radio get a feel for how the Yotes gave up 41 points in the first half? ORU hit some garbage time shots just to get over 20 in the second half.

I was also able to watch fairly decently in the second half. Down by 11 with a couple of seconds left in the first half. No problem as the Coyotes wouldn't only come back to win but have the game basically under lock and key with 6:00 to go. I believe the Coyotes out scored ORU by about 29 points from the last seconds of the first half until about 13:00 gone in the second half. Craig Smith must have saved one of those motivational bullets (that he says he doesn't want to use too often) for the halftime break. Smith believes you can only go to the well so often when it comes to ass chewing but if he indeed did this at half time it was certainly well timed. What a fun team to follow and now they know exactly what it is going to take for them to win the banner in Sioux Falls. They need to bust their ass at the SLT like they did in Tulsa for the second half.
The Women also had a very good second half tonight as well. I doubt Dawn had to do much at half because the team was up by double digits but the girls also got it together after a so-so first half.
GREAT NIGHT TO BE A COYOTE

Smith just brought up a great stat. The Coyotes didn't score on only 7 possessions for the entire 2nd half. 75% shooting. Now is that balling, or is that balling.

If I missed this somewhere else I apologize, but any news on Hurst?

If I missed this somewhere else I apologize, but any news on Hurst? He said Monday night on the radio show that they hope to get him back. There would be a x-ray done sometime later this week to see what's what with the bone. Smith stated that with a player like Hurst, who is an effort guy, it shouldn't take him long to get back to form unlike a finesse player who needs game reps to get his rhythm back.

2 1/2 weeks to the conference tournament. I don't know if we see Carlton in the next 7 days, but I could see Sioux Falls happening.

From what I saw ... of the game ... a big reason the Yotes ... shot so well in the ... 2nd half ... great passing... a lot of layups!
Sorry, can't get that video feed out of my mind!

Mooney and Smith both said after game there was no paint peeling speech. Coach just said, “we’re better than this, and we need to play Coyote basketball” and they re-focused.
