Theae guys have hit the proverbial brick wall. You can't rely on one player to carry all the bags. They are toast and who knows when they wake up again.

It wasn’t a slow start, it was an extremely slow start.
We used to have posters go off on Huggs for not having teams prepared. They seem to have disappeared suddenly. Interesting.

Got two players already mail it in. And a whole other group that look like they are lost out there the past two games.

No movement all dribbling and no passing. If a miracle happens and we can get close to ten (lol as I type it) might stand a chance.

No hustle and this team has given up.

Something has happened in the locker room. These guys are no longer together.

Last two teams have played close on ball defense against Small. Double team him, or mug him if you have to but don't let him have any room to pass, drive or shoot. Nobody else is going to beat you on this team without him having a good game.

Yep. And GOOD coaches do that, and BETTER coaches prepare to run an offense away from that.

And to score on our top 20 defense is run the ball and get inside and back out if you have to.

Good plan so far 2nd half. Attack the rim on offense and play smart D on the other end. Give effort it is all I ask for.

Lead stood at 15 for 5 minutes and you couldn't make a basket to cut into the lead. Defense was there offense was not. But then again you should have never been down 24 to a team like KSU in first place.

I thought we had a chance against Houston at home. Now I'm just wondering if we can even find another win.

3 TO's

Even with their entire team guarding him he still performs. The other 4 on the floor have no idea what they're doing.

Small is a helluva player, but if he has to do it all we are one dimensional. We have gotten some games from Andre and Powell and Yesufu and Hansberry but no consistency.

And 2 guys on the bench with injuries that nobody seems to know anything about.
