Game tipped off a few minutes ago. I'm stunned at how poor this feed looks. It never looked this bad when we played at ORU in the past. Reminiscent of fuzzy poor reception antenna TV from a bygone era. Looks fine when everyone stands still. Anything that moves is very blurry.
Score card has us listed as SDU. Absolute top notch quality from the Summit League Network. Can't believe they are asking for money for this product.

19-4 already less than 8 minutes in. Can't hold onto the ball. Can't defend. This isn't promising.

13 turnovers in the first half. We wouldn't beat mt Marty playing like we are these days.
We're out shooting and out rebounding them and trail by 7 at half because we are stupid with the ball.

Had a great ~10 minutes after the under 12. Pressuring defense, deflecting balls, forcing turnovers, and making plays on the offensive end. Briefly took the lead even. Then more of the same dumb crap came up the last couple minutes of the half so USD trails 40-33 at halftime.
Glad to see there is life in this team. This was looking like a complete disaster for a while. It all seemed to start turning once the updated the score card to call us USD.

The NDSU game got me excited for league play, but man has this been disappointing. I can't decide if this team just hasn't been playing well or if we're just not very good, but it is sure some ugly basketball a lot of the time.

They have shown flashes of being good, but when they aren't playing well it all hits the fan. 15 minutes of competent or even great basketball isn't going to overcome 25 minutes of frequent turnovers with zero defense.

The Yotes are now down to 306 in the NET rankings out of 362 teams. I keep thinking the Yotes are going to turn the corner, but maybe we are who the NET says we are.

As a team we are drastically under playing our talent level. The whole is less than the sum of the parts right now but it's hard to pinpoint exactly why. |

We are a long ways from where I thought we would be at half-time of the UTRGV game in the Pentagon. We were up 61 - 27 at I was thinking this season could be something special. (granted defense was optional for UTRGV) We ended up winning the game, but were outscored 52 - 39 in the second half. Since that game, we have normally played like the team we saw on the court in the second half of the UTRGV game.
