Completely broke down between halves. Can't penetrate, have trouble getting the ball to half court. Getting pretty aggravating.

Southern Indiana showed why they are undefeated and top team in OVC. Up by 31 when pulled their starters. No post scoring or defense last night after early success.

Yes, I get it, Southern Indiana is the top team in the conference. But I'm still worried. I'm not seeing improvement or leadership on the team.
