The Yotes lost game missing free-throws. Southern won the game cashing free-throws. That was a big factor for sure. The Yotes just didn't cash on many of their possessions down the stretch as well. SD missed some layups, probably contested, who knows didn't get to watch. I think the late start to the season hurt the Yotes as well especially with alot of new comers. This was Southern's 3rd game and now 1st win.

His post game comments
Didn't make many winning plays. Played poor basketball for most of it. Gave up too many points off second chance points or off turnovers. Boot's not happy with performance or toughness. Gruis did alot and he expects alot out of him. He did well. Needs him to be consistant. Said Rowson is active and gets to the basket. Thought he did well defensively. returning players not so much. Toughness and rebounding not there from team. credits Southern on defense but Yotes decision making not good. At end of half didn't get shot off at end of half. Boots not interested in ''us growing up'' but instead in playing well and winning. Team a bit too soft against tough physical D1 teams.

I am glad that Dave is not happy about this. Maybe he is over-reating a bit but I would rather error on the side of being too unhappy than too satisfied. I think we will come back strong against NC Central.

I think I would have rather played Wyoming first instead of Southern of North Carolina Central (who also recently moved up from D2). Reason being is that the Yotes could have played Southern better had it not been their first game and Southern's 3rd. It might have created a different outcome. No matter when the Yotes play Wyoming it is a likely loss.

Classic Boots post-game comments. I like Boots chances of getting more out of the team. Free-throw shooting is concerning. Gruis sounded like he has taken a nice step forward in the off-season and was very productive - that is much needed to compete in the Summit.
