RE: This game is OK

[MURPHY, T. JASON]

Very disappointed in the loss and I know Huggs says no loss is a good loss, but I think it can be helpful. The Cats are young and inexperienced and they faced a good experienced team in a tough, loud, hostile environment packed to capacity. This will help come the shootout in terms of playing in a packed Shoe in a pressure packed game. It will also help come conference season on the road. Interior defense killed UC and we were way too slow rotating out of the double teams. I don't remember seeing a UC team give up that many open shots. Dayton passed well but it seemed like UC was always 2 seconds late recovering. So while the defense looked like it took a step back the offense improved with Max finding his shot and Flowers playing well in the first half. What happened to Leonard in the 2nd half? He got clobbered a few times in the lane and there were no calls and then they call a really bad offensive foul late in the game when he tried to go in the lane and that was it. Bobbitt looked good hitting the two threes but then seemed to lose his head by launching one from three feet behind the line and then rebounding a miss and dribbling wildly to the the 3 point line before heaving another prayer. He needs to keep his  head and play smarter. I like his fire but after he made the two shots he tried to do too much. Disappointing loss but they showed improvement in some areas. The upcoming stretch with Valpo, XU, Oregon, and Clemson is going to be tough. They need to bounce back on Monday and get the W against Valpo.

They finally got some good inside production, too bad the center by committee 
 couldn't be consistent for both halves.  Good game offensively, although there still were many mistakes they shot better.  The defense really needs to 
improve.
