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.

Hopefully the weather doesn't keep fans away. Right now they are calling for a good chance of freezing rain/sleet/wintry mix type junk.
You forgot to run your Central/Southern Ohio conversion on the forecast. When forecast calls for some freezing rain or wintry mix only, count on basically just rain or at least no accumulation of ice. When forecast calls for X inches of snow that may mix with freezing rain or wintry mix, take X/4 to get actual accumulation. When forecast calls for just X inches of snow with no mention of wintry mix, take X/1.5.
Talking about the actual game saddens me so instead I'll highlight this gem so you all can remember to run the conversion next time and save yourself the worry.

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.

Wonder how much of Simmons' late-game FT problems is due to sheer exhaustion...

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

FTs have just been a problem this year, and it finally cost us bigtime. It was only a matter of time before it bit us.
