I looked it up. Last time they lost a game they led at halftime was in the semifinals of Arch Madness last year against UNI. They led by 6 at halftime and lost in OT.

Illinois St. came back last year too, and they were down 12 at half, ended up winning by 5 in regulation.

Shooting has been frustrating. Haven't had a long stretch without scoring, but just missing some shots that I think we normally make.

Yep. If two or three of those 3-pointers that rimmed out happen to fall, we're ahead in this game. But we've got to cut into the rebound margin and keep them off the line. 11 free throw attempts in the first half is too many.

I really don't think it would've made a difference with the way Frankamp was playing, but I don't understand why with about 4:30-5 minutes left Wichita was pulling away up 12, and Moser didn't call a timeout. Walks away with 2 unused timeouts. Wonder why he didn't use any down the stretch.

Missed 3s and missed layups. So frustrating.

It didn't matter. We couldn't make a shot.

It is interesting how the refs call maybe 10 fouls in the first half, and nearly 30 in the second

Our two worst losses of the year have been at home-- by 22 to Illinois State and by 17 to Wichita State. They hurt more because they both came immediately after road games we should have won, and were favored to win.

Seven losses on the year by 6 points or less; five of them by 4 points or less. Only 4 losses by more than 6.

And now we've got to win 3 of the remaining 4 to finish .500.

I'm pissed that I lost $100 on the game. Would have been better spent at Bruno's.

I surrender !! The boys gave it a shot BUT WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!

Porter had better get some--not one--BUT some Bigs that can play immediately !! Nice shooting guards are needed BUT to get back to the top bunch we need HEIGHT ==If we do not add more than the one BIG we have coming in, we are dead ducks AGAIN !!
