, but it was still dim.

The main (and only) positive team component I noticed during the game was our effort on D. Our guys were working hard against probably the most well coached program in the country.  And our only positive stats were on the defensive end. We had 3 more steals, 3 more blocks, and caused 5 more turnovers.

Obviously, this is completely offset by the rebounding differential. -13 on defensive rebounds.

We had the same amount of shot attempts as the Zags, but missed 7 more.

The shots we are taking are either too hard (a testament to the opponents D, but also our own IQ), or we are making it too hard (jumping with indecision whether to shoot or pass).

Losing Jesse and Joe  is way more impactful than people thought it would be it seems.

We need some scorers, and stat.

We need to start generating easier shots. We need more motion, more picks and rolls, draws and dumps. Hopefully this is a focus today and not trying to embarass this D2 team.

The individual bright spot was obviously Mintz. We would have lost by 40 without him.
