Pretty disappointed. But hopefully this early loss helps us go into the NCAA tournament hungry.

Poor free throw shooting finally rears it’s head!! And not making clutch plays down the stretch. How do you throw the ball out of bounds untouched out of a time out with 15 seconds left?? Plummer doesn’t take an open shot??

A few thoughts:

Teams that don't hit their free throws don't win in March. This team doesn't hit their free throws.

All due respect to Brad, who is a great coach, but how do you let Plummer shoot you out of that game? Any of the freshmen are better options than leaving Plummer out there to jack and jack and jack. And that's not a shot at Plummer, who I like--it could happen to anybody in a given game but you've gotta adjust.

Make your layups.

Edit: On the bright side, if Coleman has arrived that would a huge boon for this team.

Not one of our better games for sure. We play like that next week and we won't last very long.

Well, we will see how Brad’s team responds. Usually they do well. Unfortunately we suck at FT’s and don’t have a “go to guy” when we need that clutch shot (which we will need) at the end of a tourney game.
