We were up 17-9 on Antoino's three at 9:16. Then it was all Belmont as they outscored us 29-9 after that. Down at the half 38-26.

Can’t win much shooting 28% That's certainly the main thing. - Only two bench points doesn't help either (Cam's layup from Josh's pass);
- Outrebound by five; and
- Belmont has a 20-10 advantage on points in the paint.

I suppose that 8-0 lead was the highlight of the week. How do you shoot 28 pct.? A lot of air balls on 3point attempts.

We do some good things for a moment, but just can't sustain anything. Always have some terrible pass, senseless shot, or lapse in defense. We did miss some wide open looks, but we can't afford to do the stupid stuff.

Down to two refs in the second half. Official reason is some type of strain.

Disappointing end to this season. I just don't see improvement - in fact, it seems we are just getting worse as the season drags to a finish. We have no offense and, as someone posted on this site, we are lacking in the basic fundamentals.

Murray State loses to Indiana State 89-77. So, we play Illinois State Thursday in St. Louis.

Down 60-36. At this point, we just need to start thinking about what helps us win on Thursday: limiting guys minutes that we will need for a run next week, etc. That is probably why Sekou is playing (and with Ben being out). Eight of our guys have played at least 14 minutes - so minutes being spread out. Antoino (25) and Kenny (21) are the players (for us) with the most minutes.

We have no offense and, as someone posted on this site, we are lacking in the basic fundamentals. I see it the same way. They really have not improved as the season went on. That is the most disappointing thing of all.

Our offense has not been our problem for most of our losses, but rather our defense.

That is the most disappointing thing of all. A large part of that has been Ben's health. Even when he came back he was not 100% (which was alluded to in the pregame show). He still made us competitive when he came back but if he was 100% we win some of those games. Without him we look more like last year's team. You can argue that one player should not make that much difference but the reality is he does. Hopefully we pick up another piece or two next year (especially at the guard positions) to get over the dependency on one player.

The simple fact is, they aren't even competing against teams in their own conference, and if anything over a period of time, that should not be the case.
