In the last minute of the first half, the University of Pennsylvania's perimeter suddenly exploded. After successfully intercepting the ball in a row, they scored three consecutive three-pointers through the ball!!
Such an outburst directly helped the University of Pennsylvania take the lead in the first half to nine points!!
45 to 36.
The loss of focus in the last minute of the first half put the University of Pennsylvania in an extremely passive position.
In the first half, the University of Pennsylvania's field goal percentage was only 32%. Most of their points came from free throws and second tries under the basket.
Ross scored 10 points and three assists in the first half. Robert didn't feel good today. He only scored two out of 10 shots and only scored five points.
The two stars only managed to send out one player, and then they encountered the opponent's explosive attack at the last minute. This match became difficult.
"Haha, no one would have thought that the No. 1 seed, the University of Murphy, would encounter trouble in the top 32. Will it be a surprise tonight?”
"Although the NCAA is known as a hotbed of surprises, there has never been a situation where the No. 1 seed was eliminated in the first round. Are we going to break this record tonight?”
As soon as the whistle at the end of the first half sounded, the commentator couldn't wait to bring up the concept of an upset.
Getting rid of Murphy was enough to make the audience's blood boil!!
"With three NBA rookies, they should be able to turn the game around in the second half.”
"Heh, who can say for sure? They're too iron-clad.”
"Yeah, after entering the knockout round, other than Ross, no one else seems to know how to play.”
"The University of Pennsylvania played so well. They showed their team spirit and had a wonderful first half.”
The fans were also constantly discussing the situation of the game on the sidelines!
In the half-time locker room of the University of Pennsylvania.
Calipari didn't give a long speech. Instead, he continued to make tactical arrangements.
There were still 20 minutes left in the second half. He did not want the University of Pennsylvania to stop in the top 32.
Calipari was very dissatisfied with the performance of Anderson and Desai in the paint. The two players barely contributed in the first half.
Anderson, in particular, missed three open shots. In the last minute, he made two more mistakes.
Calipari glanced at Zhang Luo.
Could this guy do it? Calipari hesitated for a moment before deciding not to send Zhang Luo on.
This game was too important, and Calipari did not dare to easily break his pre-match rotation arrangement.
Zhang Luo was a little disappointed that Calipari did not call his name.
But Zhang Luo didn't lose heart. He clenched his fists and was ready to go on stage at any time.
As long as he was given a chance, he was confident that he could help the team change the situation!
Cui Wanjun came to Zhang Luo and comforted him,"Alo, this game is too anxious. The manager has his own considerations. Don't have any opinions about the manager.”
Cui Wanjun was still very optimistic about Zhang Luo. Zhang Luo's height, agility, and basic skills were not bad. Even if he could not enter the NBA, he would still have potential when he returned to the CBA.
"I know. Thank you, coach."”
Cui Wanjun took care of him a lot on the team, and Zhang Luo had always been polite to him.
The second half of the game soon began.
The University of Pennsylvania still didn't have a good feel on the outside, which made it even more difficult for the University of Pennsylvania to score.
Fortunately, the University of Pennsylvania also defended against their opponents, and the difference in points remained around ten points.
Time continued to pass, but the score could not catch up. Calipari was anxious.
Robert's abnormality today also proved why his average score was higher than Rose's, but the draft pick was far worse than Rose's!
If he couldn't make it, there wasn't much he could do!
Today, the University of Pennsylvania was playing as a team. Only Ross could rely on his talent to cut down the points. The others were in trouble!!
It looked like they were the 16th seed, not the 1st seed.
This was the charm of a single elimination match!!!
Anderson continued his lackluster performance in the first half with a low-level walking violation.
Calipari's patience for him had reached its limit.
When there were 11 minutes and 22 seconds left in the second half, the game entered a TV pause.
The score was 58 to 48, and the University of Pennsylvania was still trailing by 10 points.
The NCAA's offense time was 35 seconds, which resulted in very few rounds. The 10-point gap was huge.
The University of Pennsylvania is in danger."
"The No. 1 seed is so weak?"
"It's not weak, it's in a bad state!"
"Ross is indeed very strong, but the others are too weak, especially Anderson!”
"It's going to be a cold one."
The fans kept discussing the situation on the field.
Anderson threw the towel on the ground as soon as he got off the stage. He had been too lost tonight and had made many low-level mistakes!
Anderson also had a dream of entering the NBA, but he was still far from the NBA with an average of 7.5 points and 4.5 rebounded per game. The more he wanted to perform, the worse the results were.
Calipari looked at Anderson and shook his head. He shouted to the substitutes 'bench behind him,""Zhang Luo, you go! Don't make any mistakes. Cover the line and shoot when you have the chance!”
Calipari immediately shouted tactics at Zhang Luo.
The outside shooting skills of the University of Miami were too poor. No one had ever made a shot. Calipari would ask anyone who had some shooting ability to do so.
As long as they could cause damage to their perimeter, their opponents would not dare to shrink under the basket unscrupulously, and Ross would have more opportunities!
When Zhang Luo heard Calipari's shout, he suddenly stood up!!!
He knew that his chance had come!
