I took a couple of hours off to let this one settle in.  Confused how a team that got to the sweet 16 last year can return all of its players, add Hughes and Carey but still be less than last year at the end?  Is it the players or the coaches, I just do not know? Maybe a bit of each.  We can not will our under performing centers to be better.  That may come only with better plays and practice.  But we just had one entire week to get ready for this fiasco.  No excuses for missing so many free throws, no excuse for the seemingly continuous lack of effort, even "don't worry, we have this" attitude throughout the game.  Then to give ODU credit for a great defense is a laugh.  Five senior citizens from an adult center using walkers can stop our offense that loves to throw it back and forth outside at the top.  We keep passing until we get a missed pass or tipped pass and lose possession.  For some unknown reason this team was not prepared to play today.  Just have to erase this game from my head and hope they can get their collective heads screwed on straight before the next game.  At this point I would prefer to see Dolezaj at center, Battle & Hughes at forward and Frank with Carey at the guards.  Let Chewy and OB sit a bit and figure out how they could help us get better.  If needed, move Sidibie to center and Dolezaj to forward to put Frank or Carey on the bench if they are not performing.  Next person off bench...Braswell.  At least he can jump.
