There was a point last night in the first half when I looked at our stats...it was with 4:30 seconds left before halftime. We had only made TWO 2 point buckets. Geist had made a couple 3 pointers, Barnett had made 4 and Puryear had hit a couple free throws.
The other thing that killed me was the lack of taking advantage of the foul situation Auburn was dealing with...they had 7 fouls by the 8 minute mark in the first half and we continued to just throw up 3's and contested shots outside with no one actually driving the ball. Exact same scenario in the second half as well with no taking advantage of going inside. That's of course when we actually got a shot off and didn't turn the ball over.
I know the knock on Cuonzo was that he wasn't a good offensive coach, and he's dealing with a seriously flawed roster, but I'm starting to get a little disappointed in our game plan (or lack thereof) and execution. There must have been 4 different instances where we turned the ball over immediately after a TO last night. And playing CVL, Nikko and and Puryear in the same rotation leads to an immediate run by the other team EVERY single time.
Overall, it's good to care again. But jesus this team is frustrating.

I suppose the bright side is, this would be a 2 win team with Kermit at the helm. It was always a long shot for them to get to the tournament this year but I really still believe they have a shot if they can get it together.
