This season is going way better than I expected but I really don't want to be the Valley team that's never good enough to be in the top tier of the conference.

Awful half. No inside presence and way too much standing on offense/depending on X.

Need to be way better in half 2.

0 offensive rebounds?

Drake had about 6 points off some garbage rim shots.

Troy can’t guard Tucker or anyone with speed.  

X has taken some horrible shots.

just leave Ebube in the game.

God..why can we not rebound YEAR after Year after Year????

 

Because Mullins won’t play our Bigs.  What a terrible first half.  X was bad.  D’Amico was bad.  Davis was bad.  Trent & Clarence were non-factors.  The only ones who looked decent were Ebube & Hensley.  But playing Hensley out of position and yanking Scotty after two minutes is not the way to do it.  If these guys had hit their open 3s, we’d be down 30 right now.  Pitiful.

On the bright side, our blonde cheerleader checked all the boxes on national TV.

It was a bad half but Drake is simply much better.  Same as Indiana State.

Maybe he thinks it’s 2006 or 2007 or 2008.

We need Ebube in this game. Don't understand why he gets yanked after a couple minutes. Had a mismatch on several possessions and he didn't touch the ball.

Seems like a matchup to try some bigger lineups. Hensley at the 4, Kennard and AJ together, etc. Need a spark.

Would love to see X, Ferguson, Davis, Hensley, Ebube just once.

Drake's just not gonna miss even with good defense.  Feels like another year of heading to St. Louis with no shot at winning

Well, that's it for me. For the first time in a long time I'm just pissed off and frustrated. At least we can usually count on good defense and a lot of effort, but this is just pissing me off. Letting Drake shoot 60% from the floor is just bad defense. Way too many wide open easy shots being allowed. I'm going to the bar and getting drunk.

Not picking on Troy, but he can’t guard anyone out there tonight.   Well, Brian isn’t going to change things up.

Feels like the Indiana State game all over again.
