Good think UTRGV doesn’t play defense either

We don’t make free throws. They do. Not liking this.
When you have 3 consecutive ‘wake up calls’. They’re no longer wake ups calls. They’re reality.
Technique and energy will offset this, every time.

This is gonna come down to a last second shot isn’t it. Shades of Dayton/Kansas today
Apparently not enough
None of the games we've played are wake up calls at this point

Our defense is straight garbo tonight.
Has RJ played in the second half?
True, although Dayton would crush UTRGV.
There is no excuse for this team to come in and shoot this many free throws on our home court.
I don’t think there’s a defensive system out there that would be successful with this kind of energy level. This is just brutal.
Also, the gap between (healthy) Trent and Grandy vs. Hutch and Plummer is so wide you can’t see across it. Hutch just looks helpless out there tonight.

Unless they have technique and energy, too.
The grit and leadership I saw last year just hasn't formed. Ayo and to some extent Giorgi would provide positive or in your face course correction.
Dayton lost to Lipscomb, umass-lowell, and Austin peay
Seems like a lot of guys are looking over their shoulder instead of just playing ball. Like they are robotic out there.
I was never on the Hutch hype train, but I didn’t think he was this bad!
Unbelievable
No sugarcoating this disaster.
Plummer
I feel like this is a Groce era game.
