I'm not too worried because I don't think Drake will keep shooting 40% from 3. But not a fantastic showing from us either way.

Do not get the Not playing Jeff White thing unless he is still injured.Is anyone else sensing a change in the team attitude and energy???? Early on everyone seemed to be in to every basket.I am wondering if there is playing time issues etc???????

Rotten , poor , bad and also a disgraceful half --We are sleepwalking--Time we wake up and guard somebody !!

Hate to say it but as of now we are playing like last year --Let's pick it up now !!

We are reacting to them, rather than the other way around.

I'm sensing the energy of a team playing against a bottom feeder on a weeknight in a gym less than half full. Hopefully they come out with more energy in the second half.

Looks like the letdown theory has prevailed so far. When the schedule came out, you know everyone was thinking, "if we could just get past the first four games in reasonable shape...." We were 2-2 against Bradley, UNI, Evansville, and WSU, and now we've let the energy drop, and we're playing a little like we did last season.

Let's see how we do with adjustments. Gotta keep the rebounds even in the 2nd half and cut down on turnovers. I pity the next guy who lets Ricks score.

Disheartened by the halftime score but Drake's shots won't keep falling. I'm confident we'll pull this out. But come on. Let's go Ramblers.

Also--Swaggy T is 3 for 3 with 3 3s. Just sayin'. Let the kid shoot.

Please let the Ramblers come out in the 2nd half like WSU did against us on Sunday. Please.

It took us way too long to make the adjustment to face guard Ricks Jr or as I like to call him Tyrannosaurus Ricks.

I see some spurts of energy, but I'm not happy with some of the players trying to do too much...we need to keep playing team basketball!

#2 (Ricks?) is killing us! Why do we keep leaving him open?
