Coming out pretty flat here. I think this is one of the hazards of playing a cupcake game. Your internal clock is still set to the slower pace.

Yea, starting to get ramped back up, but not without digging themselves into a big hole.

Utoff is killing it. His bio shows 2 red shirt years.

One of big differences in mid-major vs big time basketball: most mid-major players try to speed up their game by over-dribbling the ball. The good teams do it by passing the ball quickly around perimeter.

Goddamn embarrassing!

Wow, are you totally unrealistic! jc

I really like McCaffrey's scheme. He will throw the book at you. Mixes up zone and man defenses. Did not matter what he did tonight. Just too good.

Hopefully this serves as a good wake up call on how to play with more energy and a sense of urgency. Lazy defense and lazy passing will get you exposed very quickly against a good team like this. Off shooting nights will happen, but combine that with less than full efforts in other aspects of the game and everything goes downhill very quickly.
