That first half was horrendous to watch.   A bad gameplan executed poorly by players who look lost can lead you to lay an egg in one of the most important games of the year.  I give Patterson an "A" for effort, but beyond that this has been a trainwreck.  Michael Porter has been atrocious, Perry Stevenson has been worse, DeAndre Liggins has been lost, Jodie Meeks has been stifled and Billy Gillispie has trumped a year full of odd decisions with a half full of irrational ones.  In some ways, we are lucky to be down only 18.

Hopefully this will change and we all can forget this......but it will take a Herculean effort in the second half.
