1. Our bigs were thoroughly outplayed. Dixon was a game high +18 for the Dukes and Drame +8. Necas played a season high 30 mins. Between those 3 players they combined to go 10-15 from the field for 27 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 blocks. Waterman, Fouss, and Khalifa went 5/21 for 14 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. So 6 less shots for their bigs, but 13 more points, 10 more rebounds, 2 more assists and 4 more blocks. This against a team who was supposed to be really weak up front and they flat out dominated us.

2. First half defense. Giving up 38 points to this team in the first half is almost unforgiveable. They only managed 33 in the second half and that was with us fouling at the end. We just came out with no fire. In a game like this you can't play Knell at the 3 and Waterman at the 4. It simply is not enough athleticism.

3. Khalifa has been the biggest difference between this year's team and last year's team. He gave us nothing today. I can't imagine trying to play a basketball game without water, but man he really gave us nothing positive today.

4. The whistle did not go our way today. But we have to play through it. We were the better team, but we didn't play with the intensity that we needed to from the start.

5. Execution down the stretch. In a game like today you have to play through Jaxson Robinson. We didn't when the game was on the line. It is honestly inexcusable for both players and coaches.
