Whoops.

Sure would be nice to make a run in the 2nd half and make this a game but realistically this thing is over.

Absolute joke that this team. They have had months to work on free throws and its never been improved. Lack of focus and leadership. Hard when the two seniors are brick layers.

Free throw shooting had actually improved for a few games. Back in the tank tonight, though.

Funny, I remember blowing a 10 point halftime lead at the Convo against NIU at the beginning of MAC play. We couldn’t hit a FT down the stretch. Same problem is plaguing us tonight. I just hope we can somehow make a run to make the final look like it was a competitive game. I doubt it though. Oh how the mighty have fallen.....

Funny, the Saul apologists won’t acknowledge our old friend Groce still knows how to show up in March. What could have been...

Yeah this is done. Come out flat and look bad against NIU in a do or die situation. Not good. Bye, Saul.

This was an early February shooting performance. Clang. Clang. Clang. Taylor played a hell of a game. Řest of team couldn't hit water from a mofo boat.

OHIO at 11.1% in 3-pt. shooting tonight. Ugh. Sweet merciful end.

Too many athletes, too much dribble penetration and too many open threes. We may have two schollies open (Dartis and Gollon). We need a new coach to bring in some new recruits. Block basically started for four years and he is a seventh or eighth man at best. Go Cats

Hats off to Doug Taylor for going out with a 20-point, 11-rebound effort. He worked to transform his body and finished with a strong senior season.

Does that court look better in person? Even it it does, it's awful on TV and should be set on fire.

Our offense was so frustrating and our defense was slow and not very physical. Terrible combo and boy did we get thumped last night. Our ball movement was the definition of air less and our offense had no idea what to do. Too many black holes on offense, so their double team early in the game really flustered us.

We didn't take enough 3s early in the game. Whatever happened to Gavin Block on offense? He was nonexistent. I thought BVP deserved more minutes. We can at least get open and isn't afraid to take a shot. Preston looked iffy but had some good runner/touch shots.

Very frustrated with Saul's offense. Aside from the two seasons in the middle of his tenure, it never found its way. Very sad!
