Lets hope the first half is the end of bad basketball for awhile. I hope these guys are not reading their own press clippings. I thought we were going to win this at the line. We get them in foul trouble and then we quit going to the basket.

We get them in foul trouble and then we quit going to the basket. Nope - the first 3 mins of 2nd had been awful. Forced shots. Easy buckets for Kent. Kuol gets his 4th. And we are down 17 looking listless and uninspired. Ugh Get Liddell, pink, anyone in there. Let’s see what we got. This isn’t quite working tonight, we gotta have more than 6 guys that can see the court.

Coming out of our timeout, our offensive play was AD shooting a falling flailing fadeaway from the corner over 2 guys. It missed. Kent got a layup 5 seconds later.
It’s nearing time I switch over to the Bacherlorette but I’ll brave a few more minutes.

My threat of tough love worked. Titans hit a couple and cut it to 13. I’m staying on the Titans, Tayshia will have to wait.

The game has devolved into chucking up 3s. We are down 14.
On the plus side I’m offering Johnson a rose because he looks like a baller with a well rounded game.
The team body language and energy is lacking. It’s not helping we have no player rotation. You can also see it in number of layups we’ve given up.

PS- our shooting/warm up shirts looking REALLY cool. Just saw a good shot of them coming out of timeout

Alright my live blogging is ending, the scores of people reading this in real time is sad I know.
Kuol just fouled out, and we are down 18 with 5 mins to go. More thoughts tomrow. Didn’t like this Titan team performance tonight really in any way. On ward to my Tayshia and her pursuit of love and happiness...

1 step forward, 4 steps back. Very disappointing game after getting some hope against MSU and ND.

I could really use a post from PTC telling us all of the positive things that actually happened tonight.

Tough night on everyone. At one time out I did see Buay in uniform in the huddle. As much as most of us do dislike Izzo, he does have enough guts to pull an entire lineup when there is an effort like we had tonight. It would have been nice to see the rest of the players get a chance. Maybe they would put a value into their opportunity to showcase their talents.

For the small line-up to work, we have to play quickly to offset teams with size. We looked fatigued from the start and did not rotate out on shooters. 3rd game in five days caused the lack of depth on our front line to be exposed against Hamilton and Pippen on Kent State. Antoine's low percentage shooting has been a liability in these first 3 games. Fraser + Johnson + Kuol shot terribly and had little energy compared to the previous two games. Calipari was not the answer for more minutes.
It's now been 1 year and 1 day since Noah Waterman last played any minutes in a college basketball game; yet, it appears that the NCAA still has not granted him a waiver for immediate eligibility.
We now have 4 days to rest and practice before playing Western. I want to see the effort that we showed at MSU and ND when we play Saturday. Given Davis' pre-game comments on radio, it sounds like we may still play this short rotation at WMU. On Saturday, there will be no fatigue explanation available. Fraser, Johnson, and Kuol need to step up and reclaim the energy they displayed at MSU and ND. They are the core of this team - not Antoine.
