Not only did Miller have to scuffle tonight; younger brother Anderson (who plays for Lamar Univ.) also had an off-night in shooting. The Cardinals played Louisianao-Monroe, not exactly a juggernaut either.
Miller was 3-9 overall, 0-3 from 3-pt; 2-4 from the line. Well below his average. Anderson (also leading scorer so far on his team) was 2-11 on FGs, 0-3 on 3s, no FTs. Both will have better nights ahead, but interesting that neither showed individually to good advantage in back-to-back games.
Biggest difference was in their teams' outcomes. Lamar came from behind and won on a last-second 3-pt prayer; the Cats frittered away their lead and lost in the closing seconds. As it happened, I was able to see both games on the tube. Probably the only person to do that outside the Kopp family.
The frustration on this board is understandable and I share it. But it's too early to bail on the season. Count me as a fan who still hopes the Cats team wins a decent number of conference games due to its coaching -- or in spite of it.
