Well, Grand Canyon also lost their first game to a division 2 team. So they are at a worse place than us...take solace that we're not them right now.
That said, last night's game was a little uncomfortable. Even up 18, we just never felt like we had clicked or that things were going smoothly. It's surprising given the amount of time the team has had together that we're still not in a decent flow or that line-ups are so fluid. I think BU is subbing the players too much. I saw GB get pulled just as he was getting into rhythm. Bodies in and out...in and out....never really getting good cohesion. I think BU was trying to solve the sins of the last game of keeping KC in too long, but I think it was to the detriment of the flow of the game.
Also, lots of close shots that were missed. Shots that frazier or GB or KC should automatically make were missed. Probably a little bit of energy, but something that can be fixed. Free throws were terrible. Team needs to spend time before and after practice on FT.
Just in general, sloppy play...I just hope it doesn't take until past midway into the season to rectify. After seeing last night's performance, it's not an overnight fix....so hold onto your hats, it's going to be a bumpy takeoff!
