Raise your hand if you think USI will win another game. This was pathetic players are getting double teamed and the other USI players are just standing around. I am screaming at the tv telling the other USI players to "move" "help her" "quit standing around". We should have beaten this team by 15 points. I think we will beat Morehead, Lindenwood, and SEMO. Curious how we do against Tenn Tech. I think we can beat Tenn State at their place.
We are finding out that we can compete with these teams in the OVC, but also learning the hard way that one or two possessions can really change the outcome of the game, and our margin of error is much less than it was against GLVC opponents.

I hope you are right but we have not been playing good since the Little Rock game. i just do not have any confidence in this team anymore.

Guard play is out weak spot for sure. We really need a few true point guards by next season.

7 all end of Q1.. Officials are letting them play, Morris is abysmal as always. Today I learned that a shot that a bounces off the backboard is now an "air ball"

Only 13 Turnovers which is much better than their average of 22.

That was a much needed win! They cut down on the stupid turnovers and that was critical in getting this W.

Imo there is NOT a team we can’t beat on any given night in the OVC. We all know how many times we have double digit lead late only to let it slip away. If, and it’s a big if, we can stop the stupid turnovers, we can win any game left on the schedule. Will we? I seriously doubt it, but my point is that the talent difference really isn’t that great. If anything that stands out to me, it’s point guards for the better teams are quicker and have less turnovers. But we proved today when we take care of the ball that we are hard to beat.

I feel like our guard play MUST improve if we are going to be competitive in the OVC, passes need to be crisp and not, what appear to be, sloppy bounce passes.

A fast point guard that can run the offense and take care of the ball would elevate USI to another level. We have a few coming next year along with a big that can pound it in the middle. Not sure how many open scholarships we will have after this year. I could see a few maybe leaving because they are not playing at all and frankly are not D1 level players. It would benefit them to transfer if they want more playing time.
