Looking at a game where they clearly didn't try and were also missing their defensive anchor as some kind of sign of things to come is bizarre.
Did you watch their last game against Texas? The other games this season where teams abused them on the boards and out physicaled them on defense. Grady Dick better come back next season to learn how to be a complete player because his game is soft and he’ll get annihilated in the NBA. [Reply]

It's a nice thing to win for the night, but both of these teams and the entire rest of the country completely turn the page by tomorrow night.
We need to be looking towards maximizing our performance for next week. I'm sure that's exactly why McCullar is sitting tonight and not trying to grit out a 3rd game in a row. [Reply]
I'd force these guys to watch all these layups on repeat all week. Just a sad effort defensively tonight. You have nights where the ball doesn't go in for you but the defensive effort tonight was just shockingly bad. [Reply]
