The fact we're playing zone already this early in the season worries me.

Not because it's not what might be best for us tonight - but who cares? We're not winning this game anyway. Boals knows this too. Which means maybe he thinks we're SO BAD at man-to-man that we might just have to play more zone regularly (Given what I've seen so far - this is possible).

Ouch.

Why not run a play on that last possession?

This game is definitely winnable. I don’t think we do win it but let’s not be so negative.

Not sure how Sheldon doesn’t start moving forward. Amazing to only be down 5. Captain Chaos is struggling….needs to find his mojo. If Clayton can hit some three’s in the second half we might give them a run.

Looking pretty winnable after they took the initial hit.

Ohio played a solid first half after struggling early and then turn the ball over on four straight possessions early in the second. Unbelievably sloppy and unacceptable stretch.

And all with Sheldon on the bench. He needs to sit Pav.

4 turnovers in less than 1 minute of play.

Clayton has been a disaster to start the year. Very disappointing.

There are 3-4 kids on this roster that have a chance to compete at this level. One never plays and another gets limited time. Not sure what we are doing.

Incredibly sloppy. We’re not a bad team, we just look underprepared and undisciplined.

We need to have a serious conversation about AJ Clayton. He's a good player but he's extremely overhyped by the rest of the MAC and has not been living up to the preseason expectations.

Maybe. Or maybe, just maybe, we are a bad team.

13 ppg, 4 rpg, 2 apg and 2 bpg? Disaster?

You should have that conversation with Kobe Altman or Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Clayton is far from a disaster but he's also not playing like a First-Team All-MAC performer either. He's a solid player but too much of his game is dependent on if he's hitting on perimeter shots or not.

I’m loving Searles more and more. He’s a legitimate big. Puts an end to the Wiz conversation

It’s a shame we didn’t have him previous two years.

AJC has been terribly inconsistent since becoming a regular in Boals' lineup. Meaning there's a game in the near future where he'll be on fire from 3 and end up with 25 points.

Memphis is begging Ohio to get back into this game but we've been unable to capitalize. Too many self-inflicted errors.

I actually feel better following this performance but they still need to work on a bunch of things before conference play as expected.

Seems to struggle offensively against better quality opponent. Not gonna win at places like Memphis, JMU and Illinois State if he’s not making 3s.

8-26 from 3 on season.

Coaching mapractice to not be playing Evans. Absolutely ridiculous.

The only question now is the Cover ATS.

18-4 run to start the game, 12-2 run to start the 2nd half. 69% from 3 for Memphis. You can't win anyting with that kind of nonsense.
