Once they cut the lead and actually went ahead, I knew we were in trouble. This team hasn't learned to win yet and Howard knew that this was their chance. That's a completely different mindset and it makes a big difference in how tight you play. It's an embarrassment for a program like UNCW to lose to a school like that and they played tight getting outscored like 20-4 to end the game. We've seen this movie a bit now with this particular team.

We played tight? I dunno man.

Howard had THREE players foul out. Which means we could have won the game at the free throw line, for starters.

On top of that. They had a player score 42, and another scored 30. That's not playing tight. That's watching two guys school you, all night. That's zero defense. The rest of their team COMBINED for 8 points. Double team. Triple team. Change the game plan mid-game when that is happening!

The last loss was "embarrassing". This loss... I don't even know how to describe it, but embarrassing doesn't do it justice. At least North Dakota State beat us with a team.

42 points is the most an opposing player has EVER scored against UNCW. So begins the first "record" during the McGrath era. And we've played ACC teams.

We are likely to be the worst team defense in school history unless something dramatically changes
