I am going to go a different way in this thread. I chose to accentuate the positives that I saw yesterday.

1. OUr IQ in attacking the zone was the best that I have ever seen in my 25 years of watching OUr hoops team. High post entries, passes to the blind spot, ball fakes (especially from KK), ball rotation, wide open shots. We just didn't hit on enough and our post players weren't able to finish enough. EMU wants to play a dirty, slog thru the mud kind of game, we let them.

2. Jason Carter came of age. Just not strong enough yet. With work, he will be next year.

3. Saul's intensity. After the block call on Block, that was as mad as I have ever witnessed him. Thought for sure he was going to get a T.

Listen, we are going to be ok. We will learn from this, and get better. Hopefully, Tony is back quickly and we can get back to winning these games. Oh, and hit some f'n free throws.

Bn9 is closest to the truth. We hit fts normally, and a couple more threes, we win by 10 and we aren't having thus conversation.

But he's playing less minutes this year than last year.

Last year - 36.4 mpg, 78% FT
This year - 34.2 mpg, 66% FT
