And really what's one of the few basic things you need from an upperclassman and team leader? You need them to be mentally tough. I think he's showing that he's not.

We'll have to get it there first. Looking at the live stats, surprisingly, we have outscored them from 2 and the line. Their entire lead is a result of 8 3s to our none.

We missed several point blank shots, as well. I hope this will start dropping during the second half as the jitters should just be about gone.

We've played pretty good defense for being outsized. If you would have told me we'd be getting killed on the outside and Trevor Booker would only have 5 points, I wouldn't have believed you.

that, and we've been out-rebounded 2-1, and they have 19 points off of our 12 turnovers

Stats don't look that bad except for our below average shooting and their above average shooting. Makes for a lopsided score.

alright, as terrible as we are playing they are getting away with murder on this "press". They are just raking our guys 100% of the time down the court.

We're on pace to score 32 points. That's below Winthropian standards.

Maybe we should spend a little more time in practice on offense. I really don't see a reason to pass the ball 8 times until we turn it over. Someone has to shoot.

I like the lineup with Baker and McMasters both on the floor. Carter has been our most effective player today IMO. Mostly without the ball of course.

Boy do we stink. I hope this is not a sign of things to come the rest of the year.

This is ugly. just plain and simple. McMasters is the lone bright spot on defense. We need to score. we need to be able to out score teams if we can't play defense. I like the emphasis on defense but we need to be able to score to win games.
