Falcons do another 180, facing backwards again

Its just going to be that kind of year. We lost by 18 to Radford, another winnable game. The game was closer than 18 points, in truth, but we were also never seriously in the game. We're not going to win too many games when the other team scores 81. We had 27 fouls (a season low!) and had 21 TOs. Combine that with 38% shooting, (33% in the second half).

Soler played his first strong game of the season (38 minutes, 8 points and 7 boards), while Samarco, Floyd and Marschall were all in double figures. Lefeld and Clements fouled out.

Nick Wilson played, so apparently we're not redshirting him. We cut our technicals down to zero for this game.

Well, we're one very lucky tip from being 0-3, so we should take what we can get with a 1-2 start, and a win over Urbana will take us to 2-2. Then we play a down Oakland team that we should be able to beat on our floor.

One final note: whoever scheduled the Urbana game for 2 PM on OSU-UM day isn't trying to build a crowd.
