Our recent slide has dropped us down to 6th place and we have the top team in the league (yes, I know Cleveland State is technically first) coming to Chicago.
We are 10.5 point underdogs tomorrow. Hope that having a weekend with everyone back under our belts will help shake off some rust.
I known the difficulties al teams are facing this year but would really like to see some marked improvement. Smarter play, less turnovers, some more focused defense and a more efficient offense. New players, new coaches, players out - it’s all true. But would like to see some of those habits going away instead of getting more common.
8-7 record right now. A weekend sweep of losses would drop is below .500. Don’t want that.

This team has shown that it could be a good team when all the pieces are in place. The pause, injuries and personal reasons have caused disruptions in the continuity of the team's growth and unity. Maurice Commander has shown steady improvement and much needed shooting help. Once he gets a handle on the team and gets to know them and they all get better with the system, they can make a run.
For some reason, this team seems to have Wright State's number.

Down 10 with 5 minutes to go in the 1st half. We have 19 points.

8 turnovers at the half. Again an issue with this team.
Only 23 points as well. Shooting just 33% from the field.
Doesn’t seem like many positives to build on right now.

Rob Howard sucks. Not happy with this teams progressions in a bad conference. Coach Yak needs time but this team is mediocre.

We are down 16. Almost 4 minutes in and haven’t scored. I’m not following anymore as we lost this one.
On to tomorrow.
Let’s just hope we don’t get blown out tonight and can keep it reasonable.
Would hope for more from this team. Improvement going on in the year but not at the moment.

Not going to lie - following on my phone and the layout for the Game Tracker is awful. Can’t even see UIC player stats. Only team stats.

I turned this one off a couple minutes into the 2nd half. I’d rather watch paint dry. We are getting owned in the paint, and we are playing McClain-style offense. Too fast and out of control. Rob Howard is taking way too many shots. At some point you say “I’m off...pass it.”
I can’t believe this team is in the bottom 3rd of the conference...and we didn’t play Cleveland St or Milwaukee.
