Bigger, stronger, faster and deeper won tonight.

Agree except I think their coach started milking the clock with more than 9:00 left. They could have easily scored another 15-20 points. Never before saw a coach start to run the clock that early.

I’m positive that they know, but still can’t do a thing about it.

Apparently not according to some Maggard loves Marlin and us as fans have no power to sway his opinion

They had 85 points with 10 1/2 minutes to go in the game. Insane.

Honestly, there isn't much he can say especially when your team is effectively out of the game by halftime.

“When you win 27 games last year, people are going to come at you.”

Our guards are small. Our shooting is not good. Our Defense has no nastiness to it. We have one dog on the team and thats Gant. We need more dogs. Our recruiting has not gotten better over the years. Our D1 transfers if they work out, is simply a roll of the dice scenario.

A few takeaways from last nights game. We simply can't stay in front of the ball handler on offense. We get beat off the dribble every time and when Miller or Davis are in the game, they run high pick and roll to take advantage of their inability to defend it. We are giving up nearly 90 PPG in conference! If you guys noticed last night, many of their shots were either open layups or open perimeter shots. They are middle of the pack in team 3 PT shooting but shot 69% last night. That's because their guards can beat their man off the dribble, get in the lane and choose who to kick the ball out to or they just get a layup because our help defense is so bad.

Offensive numbers are not that bad from this team this year, we just can't stop anybody. Its insane. It's one thing when OK teams are just having a big night but the numbers suggest we are playing a big part in allowing teams to have a lot of success against us. We are at the bottom in nearly all team defensive categories and we are getting out rebounded this year by almost 3 rebounds per game. Last year, we outrebounded all opponents by 7 and I bet it was closer to 10 in conference games.
