I'm angry and disappointed, but I just don't have the energy to pile on. This is a sad situation for the fans, the players - for everyone. We can't be as bad as we've shown. I guess at this point, the goal should be to get healthy and eligible for Conference play and to fix the defense. The Conference looks weak. It may seem like a longshot, but I guess we'll find out if this group of players and coaches has any fight left. The weak showing by the conference so far is the only thing we can hang our hat on right now. Also, I'm hanging my hat on the unanticipated injuries to Waterman, Harvey and Koka plus my incorrect assumption that Phillips would play 31 games for us. Waterman, Harvey, and Phillips were projected to play ahead of Akec, McAdoo, and Shaw in the rotation. Koka was projected to relieve Oduro and maybe even beat him out for minutes in the post. I have not yet seen the roster on the floor that I thought would win 21 games this season. The only half-positive thing about yesterday is that Shaw got 18 minutes and LeGreair got 11 minutes. I am hearing that Kyle has earned more minutes. But this season looks almost like a photocopy of last year when Waterman and Brandon were out until mid-December and after we got them integrated into the rotation, we finished strong.

UofD will never win with this type of defense. It’s proven that defense is mostly coaching, not talent. I’m deeply disappointed in our defensive performance(s).
