-          On December 5th, 2016 Frank Howard played against Connecticut in the Garden and shot 0 for 9, scored 3 points, had 3 assists and 2 turnovers. (He had -6NP). On December 5, 2017 in the Garden against Connecticut Frank was 1 for 10 from the field, scored 5 points and had 5 assists and 9 turnovers. (-5NP). He had a guy in his face the whole game and never figured out how to get by him. I think we was physically worn down from being pressure don every possession. Other teams will see that one tape.

-          I hate watching leads shrink. Last year in this game we had a 37-26 lead with 13 minutes to go and lost 50-52. This year we were up 37-20 with 3:04 to go in the first half. The rest of the half was 3-9 as we missed 3 shots, had 2 turnovers and fouled them four times, letting them score 6 points from the foul line with the clock stopped. Then after an 8 point run by Battle, we were up 56-40 with 12:08 to go and watched Connecticut go on a 12-21 run to get within 7 before we held on to win. We went nearly 6 minutes without a field goal, going 0 for 5 with 3 turnovers while giving up 3 three pointers to a bad shooting team.

-          We just don’t have enough firepower. Tyus Battle was 3 for 8 from the arc and the rest of the team was 1 for 8 and that was a shot by Moyer that JB said we will never see again. Three guys scored 56 of our 72 points. We’ve got too many non-scorers in the rotation and a point guard who can score and pass but isn’t really a good ball-handler and who doesn’t have good instincts for the game. This team is going to have a lot of painful-to-watch stretches. There’s going to be a lot of ugly wins this year and some ugly losses to go with them
