Few thoughts fresh after taking the L:

-Mason played horrid. They shot 3-20 from deep (15%) and 11-22 from the free throw line. That was a golden opportunity to beat a top team in conference on the road. But we played slightly worse and blew our chance. Hate it.

-Offense is a rudderless ship without Moore. No real identity. No inside game. Poor 3-point shooters. Basically if Sheldon isn't shooting well from deep (and he was 1-8 tonight), the offense doesn't know what to do.

-We need better from Dawson. I really thought this would be his year. He has the talent, but it just isn't coming together. He was 1-11 today (1-8 from deep). Missed some WIDE OPEN shots from deep.

-That final possession of regulation. Why not call a timeout? You have two left. Instead, we just run an iso play and launch a shot at the backboard. Had a chance to draw something up.

-Good game from Nwaokorie. DeLoach was solid too but too many dumb fouls.

-Careless, lazy turnovers REALLY hurt this team. The one where both Des & Shel were going for a ball...and no one got it. The one in OT where Miles decided to try to possess the ball with one hand for some reason. The inbound lazy dribbling leading to their big guy getting an easy layup. The lazy inside feed by Des. So many more I am forgetting. Not having a true PG contributes to the mess.

-This is a middle-of-the-pack team, at best. On any given night, they can lose to the worst team in conference or beat the best team. That evens out to a team that will probably finish right around .500. Couple tough home games ahead vs Joe's (need revenge) and Bonnie's (just crushed Dayton). Need to hold serve at home.
