Then one by one, the outlets began picking it up.  Andy Katz of ESPN.com gushed with information and included contract information.  The Indianapolis Star did the most extensive write up and spoke with Hunter as well.

The Introductory press conference is scheduled for 3PM in the Senate Ballroom in the Student Center.

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.
