Losing teams play in the losers’ bracket, which means another late game on ESPN+. I predict another bad loss. Players and coaches looked totally defeated last night - the thousand yard stare of the Joe Scott Era.
Meanwhile, Texas State fell behind by 20 to a good Bradley team, then played a great second half to cut it to 10… just couldn’t make enough shots. They’ll be ready and eager to whoop our guys.
KenPom has us well below Yale now. Undoubtedly correct.
Texas St. ranks as a better defensive team than do we, so this will not be easy.
Alright alright. We get it, we lost bad. Let’s let up on the doom and gloom gas pedal for a bit.
I’m trying not to be gloomy; just tring to see where we fit into the Ivy season. Yale looks like a better team so far.
You are ok. My response was to @gokinsmen 
I will doom and/or gloom until the team improves.
Win or lose, I just want our guys would play with energy for 40 minutes. That still hasn’t happened once yet. To quote Brian Earl: “They’re just not playing hard enough.”
Meanwhile, Bradley takes down Wright State in a close one. Their star PG Duke Deen played on a sore knee, so it was a gritty win for them.
Finally! A good start. It took them 7 games, but they actually came out aggressive from the opening tip.
Great to see the Tigers hustling tonight.
Still can’t hit the corner 3 (need Drew Friberg or Zach Martini).
Davis, Seals, Stanton, Scott, Byriel lineup with the early run.
oof. poor defensive rebounding then throw the bal away then a 3 from TX state then throw the ball away.
I’m going to die on this hill…Byriel is not helping this team. He doesn’t bring anything to the table so you might as well develop Huggins.
So much for that double digit lead.
Leaving 3pt shooters wide open and not hitting our own wide-open looks.
Still, I’m encouraged by that better start.
DD from threeee!
Caden needs help
Some of these fouls on Pierce are so weak. Where’s the contact?
Hard take here: what happened to Cade’s defense?
He’s playing 5 and he’s a 4.
He did a much better job on Danny Wolf last season. This season, he’s a total sieve and the refs aren’t helping either. Even Noel is only 6-8. Cade’s gotta be better.
