Murray State at UE: Sat, Jan 6th at 1 pm (ESPN+)

There's no way we're going to win this game. The MVC curse is on us.

We miss Ben but give Murray State credit as they are contesting everything on their defensive end. Dwon 50-35 with 11:20 to go.

To have a chance to pull this out we obviously have to play good defense the rest of the way as we can't trade baskets with them. But just as important we have to get some semblance of an offense going (one point a minute is not going to cut it).

Cuff was set on that play. Bad call. Down 61-35 now. With 9:05 to go.

We have guys shooting threes that shouldn't be; an undersized Thomas is trying to back down a taller defender while being double and tripled teamed. We are not playing smart and not playing to our strengths. Why is Cuff not backing his defender down. Why are we not passing the ball better especially out of the double teams to the open player...But again give Murray State credit for some of this as they are playing good but I do think we miss Ben badly, but I doubt Ben would make a 30-point difference.

Really disappointing game, especially with the big crowd. Murray has had more energy from the tip-off. If we can’t win a game like this there is no way we can go .500 in the Valley.

If we don’t make some major changes in our play we will win the race to the bottom spot in the Valley.
