HALF áá NIGHT AND DAY. THE

76á72 ROAD WIN. ISAIAH JOE
SCORED 26 IN THE SECOND HALF
ALONE á EN ROUTE TO A CAREER
HIGH 34. COMEBACKS ARE A TREND
WITH THIS TEAM áá BUT SHOULD
FANS BE WORRIED ABOUT THESE
SLUGGISH STARTS? ERIC
MUSSELMAN ADDRESSED THE
DIFFERENCE OFFENSIVELY FROM
THE FIRST HALF TO THE SECOND.
"You know we go to our goáto
scorers in the second half. In
the first half there are a lot
of play calls and stuff that
are run and 5 guys are
touching the ball and there
are more movement than the
last ten minutes of the game,
you know we have specific sets
with different wrinkles and so
we are dictating who is taking
those shots and who has the
ball in their hands to make
decisions." THE HOGS HAVE
PLAYED TWO OF THEIR LAST SEVEN
ON THE ROAD. NOW THEY RETURN
TO THE COMFORT OF BUD WALTON
ARENA FOR BACKáTOáBACK GAMES á
VANDERBILT ON WEDNESDAY AND
KENTUCKY ON SATURDAY.
"Yeah we can't wait to get
home. I hope we have a great
crowd Wednesday. I think the
team's effort has earned the
respect of the state."
"Whatever we have to do.
Scratch it out, fight it out.
Whatever we can to do to get a
win and we were able to do
that tonight." "After a road
win it's fun going back home.
Ya know you're going to have a
big fan base and there's going
to be a lot of energy." "I
mean last time we were in
there it was rocking. We hope
it's rocking on Wednesday. We
just got to get ready for
Vanderbilt."
