Falcons Ugly Performance Nearly Nets Victory

Dakich Tossed


The Falcons cruised to an 18-point deficit, rallied hard to get within two inside of a minute left, but lost. All in all, it was an absolutely ugly performance, punctuated by a post-game practice, as reported in The Blade.

Coach Dakich called the notion that the team's rally added a positive element to the night "ridiculous."

Coach himself was tossed with 12:00 left on two T's. The team picked up a bench T, and Samarco had a key one after hitting a trey to cut the lead to 2 inside of one minute.

Here's a tale of woe:

FG%: 36.5%
FT%: 47.1%
Fouls: 35 (Are you kidding me?!)
Players fouled out: (Soler, Samarco, Robinson)
Minutes played by Patrick Phillips: 13
Fouls by Patrick Phillips: 4

Positives: Matt Lefeld had 14 points and six boards and Eric Marschall appeared to make some nice plays (or sounded like it).

This team is bad enough as it is, and without Steven Wright, they are non-functioning. Let's hope we can beat Radford Sunday...because Virgina Tech is going to be a beating.

Its worth noting the Nick Wilson didn't play at all--redshirt alert.
