Wow. only 7 turnovers! That is the lowest amount of turnovers I have seen in a long time.
All to no avail.

That makes it all the more disconcerting when you gave up so many easy points and it wasn't even due to turnovers. They literally must have just rolled over.

Yep.

Good news it, this is the best shooting team we’ll face all season. Defense will look better against future competition and Marlin will have us peaking in time to run the conference schedule.

Chuck Norris salute to you.

FFS, one minute you are talking about depth and then you are pulling a poor game performance. Tirus Smith is going to be a factor moving forward and there is no denying that. I guess we should not worry about Russell either since he didn't score today either right?

Isn’t that how this works? Smith, granted he’s 3 games in, hasn’t done anything. Russell on the other hand, I’m not sure why he had such a bad game. But he’s actually shown he can contribute

Whew! That's a relief!

Smith played well against Detroit Mercy.
18 minutes, 5 rebounds, 5-5 FG, 11 pts.
A real non-factor!

Keep that same energy about our depth when we 10 games under 500. We don’t have the talent you think we got

This all started when talking about depth. Remember? You claim that we have 7 players that play. You didn't say we had 7 players that contribute. Also, Smith is going to contribute. If for no other reason, he is a big body that will give us depth in the paint and hopefully someone who can challenge shots in the lane.Again, he had a poor game just like Russell did. The reality is we can play 9 guys if not more. We have to find a way to get these guys playing better.

I’m standing by what I said. We can’t play 9 guys. There’s a reason he hasn’t played that many significant minutes. He’s got too many guys that are not ready for this level.

Holy hell! How in the $@#&! did DM beat them? Or should I say how the $%@#! did WE beat DM by 20?

All the while I'm watching a Southland Conference team in SFA absolutely take it to Duke in Cameron. Duke will likely pull away a bit in the second half but the stadium is as quiet as I've seen them. We can't take it to Cal Irvine.
