Regardless of the farcical nature of the game, the team with the 2:22 assist:turnover ratio probably deserves to lose.

Horrible numbers there. Ouch.

Not a good start to the conference season for the Privateers or the officials.

Disappointing performance from a team that played the toughest non-conference schedule in the country. You would think they would have grown from those experiences and obtained a certain level of poise. The only thing that I can say about this team so far this year is they are inconsistent. Absent mindedly playing through way to many stretches of games is unacceptable.

Whew. Back from Thibodaux and still hearing whistles in my head...

That was a farce. What an intro to the Southland. Thing is, I thought while both teams defended hard, by no means was that an insanely physical game. What can you say? Simply not a basketball game.

If 61 free throw attempts in a loss is not an NCAA record, I would love to know what is. Again, it's frustrating to have 19 missed free throws but we shot about the national college average from the line and 10% higher than our season average. It's tough to complain about that. What got us was the massive amounts of turnovers, many of which were unforced and totally careless. Multiple palmings, stepping on the sideline, one ridiculous one where we screwed up an unguarded inbound pass under our own basket. Passes fired way out of bounds to no one. Just dumb stuff. Regardless of the farcical nature of the game, the team with the 2:22 assist:turnover ratio probably deserves to lose.

Oh well. Hopefully we can grab a road trip split on Saturday.

I thought you might like to read this article about the free throws. The information on the NCAA record is imbedded in the article..
