How in the heck did only 7 guys play? Is there a flu epidemic on the team? Are Harley, Wadley, and anyone else really not able to play? At least put a walk-on in for a minute or two before a TV timeout to give a starter an extra blow.

How does Mo only get two shots off in the 2nd half?

Pretty sad performance. Jacking 3's, no attacking the paint, getting pushed around inside, bricking free throws, some bad turnovers...it was bad across the board.

It seems this happens when the senior "leaders" on your team settle for 2-12 from 3-point land instead of feeding the big guy that is the best player on the team.

Live by the 3, die by the 3, right?

I'm not a "panic button" type person, in fact, I'm of the thinking that Nov/Dec records don't matter, but the game experience does. So I wasn't dismayed by the team's non-conference performance.

But this is now MAC play. In the Convo. Against a mediocre team.

A loss like this should not happen. This team has enough talent to blow out the (currently) top team in the Big East away from home.

They must beat teams like NIU at home. They must show effort.

This situation does not bode well for the rest of the season at all.

Something is wrong here.

Saul should recruit some kids that play intramural basketball or call down the Hilltoppers at OUC from the hills of Ross County.
