We are not a good "team". We have some players with great potential though

We shot 3 ft's tonight, they shot 28. Ewwwwwwwww.

Haven't seen or heard a second of us this year but it's pretty apparent that the upperclassmen aren't the most talented guard set we've ever had. I'm betting their D is not notable.


Also, Egidijus Mockevicius.

I wasn't able to listen to this one. Is there a reasonable explanation for how one team shoots 28 free throws and their opponent shoots 3?

Disparities in foul numbers happen, obviously. I get that. But a 28-3 spread on free throws is pretty alarming.

I agree. Sometimes this kind of disparity shows questionable refereeing, but last night it was just a neon sign highlighting the flaws we've seen from this team all year. Awful guard play, way too much outside shooting, not moving the ball around and never attacking the basket.

And I would add the "belief" that the home team should get close calls. Agree with you borna, pure rubbish.

I agree. I think a lack of attacking the basket is our biggest problem and I think that is why so few fouls went our way

The second portion of my post was sarcastic. In accordance with my morals, I always disagree with the officials. Whether they are right or wrong really isn't relevant.

This is an example of rebound margin as a poor statistic. Evansville got more rebounds not because they were better on the boards but because we missed so many more shots. Ohio was the better rebounding team last night, getting 77.8% of chances on defense to Evansville's 74.4%.

The bigs are working hard to get open. Last night only Treg did a good job of reversing the ball so we could get the ball inside close to the basket. It has very little to do with the bigs not playing inside. The window to get the ball inside to a big man is extremely short.

We take the game to overtime and still can't get under the double digit spread, ouch. This is why I couldn't gamble.

**Frustrating. But really, aside from the horrendous overtime period, there is a lot to like. I know this type of statement annoys people but I think we were the better team tonight that just didn't win, and all without a healthy Ryan Taylor. I really hope Ryan can play somewhat regular minutes in Hawaii.
**We did not attack the rim enough, I agree. Our 2 best attackers are Ndour, who did an OK job attacking, and Tony C, who got just 16 minutes due to foul trouble. If he plays 30 minutes, I think we would've been just fine (but full disclosure, this is the president of the Tony C fan club saying this).
**We have too many dumb defensive fouls in the paint...Our guys need to be more controlled and know when they don't have a play.
**Speaking of, Treg with 5 fouls, 4 turnovers, and 0 assists. He does nice things, but the fouls and turnovers are so prevalent that I just don't like him logging serious minutes. And not that who starts matters much, but I hate the idea of him as a starter. He is the definition of a spark plug off the bench to change things up when you need it.
**Foul trouble for the bigs and still 0 minutes from Chandler Thomas. I told you so.
**38 minutes from Khari, who saw that coming? He seemed to play OK with few mistakes other than shooting too many dumb 3s. He is a nice guy to have in the rotation, but not sold on him as a playmaker.
**Agree with others that there needs to be some more movement, I think it will come with time. This group is very unfamiliar with each other, not to mention playing under a new coach. Eventually they'll have a better sense of where they should be.

Aloha!

What "instigated" the T's on Bean and Mo? Were they looking for calls or upset at calls against them?
