Salukis get away with a travel and a carry on our press. And then the refs call two ticky tack fouls on us after swallowing their whistles all night.

Chucking up 3s aren’t going to do it tonight, we get way too stuck in 3 point shooting. It’s a tough game where calls are few and far between but right now we have a better shot driving than continuing to beat a dead horse from 3. Drive fellas!

It's crazy how overpowered our offense was at the beginning of the season vs. how we're performing now.

I think that was likely a result of us having the core of our team returning. Our guys all had experience playing together and were a step ahead of most teams early in the season. Now, everyone else has had enough games under their belt that they've caught up. Meanwhile, we seem to have regressed.

Bonus now for us, give to Kennedy and everyone else clear out.

Southern is a really lousy team, but we are worse. Our guys have no guts. they are choking big time.

Knight has been the only consistent scorer. Why don’t we force more touches to him, and why take him out after 2 fouls

The only problem with that strategy is the refs haven’t been calling those fouls all night. Maybe they will late?

I don't know where would be without Knight. Although I hate that foul that just got called on him. He's been called on that same foul a few times. He has the right to hold his ground when a big center is banging bodies. His only other option would be to flop. Really not sure what he is supposed to do in that situation.

Agreed, iffy with how the refs have been, but not much else has worked outside of Knight tonight. He’s our only consistent player that will drive.

If Hutty can't even hit FTs, why is he in the game? Get Knight back in for the rest of the game.
