Falcons Fall to Kent

Not a whole lot to say here, Kent bolted out to a 12-0 lead, we eventually got it to 4, but then they blew it open again and it was never really close again. Right, now, its apparent that this team, which is playing without three of its four top scorers from a poor offensive team last year is having trouble scoring.

We nursed a victory against OU on our floor last week, but on Kent's floor, and against a team that is a victory machine (Coach Orr calls them "efficient" in his post game presser, audio here), it just wasn't there.

Some of our goals we met. We got to the line as much as Kent did, didn't commit too many fouls, held them to 44% shooting and didn't give up the three ball.

On the other hand, our putrid free throw shooting continues (7-16) and we were pretty badly beaten on the boards.

Nate Miller had 17, but this team is desperate for someone to score and its hard to see who it might be. Otis continues to be a force on the boards, and he blocked four shots, but he shoots like he thinks there is a lid over the basket. Hopefully, that will come around, but he can be valuable strictly on defense.

On another note, the women's team drew over 3,000 last night for a game against OU. That's just awesome, and I'm glad to see our students and community supporting the program like that. They deserve it.

Next up is Buffalo on Thursday, at home. This one is winnable, if we play reasonably well.
