The theme of this game was determined on the very first offensive play when Titus, instead of taking it to the hoop for a slam on the fast break, dished to JJ who was called for a charge (a correct call). The rest of the game was defined by sloppy play, excessive 3 pt shooting and mega turnovers. The freshmen played like freshmen. The whole team was simply outplayed. I can't believe this is the same team that beat LOU and UConn. And our illustrious coach should have been tossed for all his theatrics and profanity. As if arguing with the refs ever got anyone anywhere, anyway.
I can appreciate the final outcome as this team has to be emotionally drained (as well as physically). But, you still have to go back to your basics when the world is going to shit all around you. They didn't do that. When the team isn't executing well on D, go back to a zone and then regroup later. But our O was missing, as well. No penetration, just jack up threes.
So let's forget this one, go home, get some rest,and be thankful we have a week off.
Go Cats!
