Beyond the Box Score: IUPUI Loss

First of two Jaguars we will face in 6 days

Quotes of Note:

"It's a disappointing loss because we had opportunities at the end of regulation but we couldn't capitalize. Trae got a good look at the end, and I thought he might have been fouled, but that's the way it goes," said Georgia State head coach Rod Barnes.

"It's so important to get off to a good start in overtime, which we did when Joe came up with the steal, but we gave it right back to them on a defensive breakdown and from there, we let it get away."


Good:

-Played a good team even for 40 minutes. 

-Ousman Krubally brought it.  11 points and 13 rebounds.  If we could only put his energy into Xavier Hansbro.

Bad:

-Trae Goldston is a liability right now offensively.  2-9 and 1-6 from deep.  He's now shooting 25% from 3 point range.  So much for 3 point specialist.

-Dante Curry must really be fat and out of shape.  He can't sniff the court.  I don't expect him to be on this team at the end of the 1st semester.

Ugly:

-Joe Dukes had 6 turnovers. 15 assists and 17 TOs for the season. Absolutely unacceptable for a PG.

Next game vs. Utah Valley State on Wednesday in Mobile. Salvage a split this week and finally head home. 

My thoughts: This team really needs to learn how to score.  56 points per game vs. Division 1 opponents.  Let that sink in. We are arguably the worst team in Division 1 right now.
