It's UGLY. I'm trying to find a silver lining. The defense has been decent, but I can't tell if it's that the defense is good or Nicholls just can't make shots. We look terrible. No shooters. Can't make a free throw. Not sure where the scoring will come from against a good team. I'm just hoping this was a case of nerves?? Unforced turnovers. No offense running. This is why I never post mid-game.
Let me offer a few.
We are not at mid season form with a group of guys that haven’t played together. It’s not mid season.
As I type this our score is double, even though we are struggling with shooting.
You can always play defense. We are and this in spite of a number of technical blunders.
We do have some key injuries at a time when floor leadership is most important.
We are missing open shots. That’s much better than missing hotly contested shots. We’re getting looks. They will start falling eventually.
I could go on but there are worse ways to open. This is but one spot on the graph. What’s important is how we show improvement. I think the euphoria after the Purdue game led to some crazy and foolish expectations. We have the makings of a very good ball club. Let’s see if they grow as a team,
