4 PM. Get the thread going.

Someone better get the Rockets going. 17-11 NKU at the 8 minute TO.
Rockets look half-asleep. 0-4 from the line. Missed several shots from under 5 feet.

and Juice is down on the court.

Got an inadvertent elbow to the jaw. Hope he's ok.

Rockets trail 25-17 at the 4 minute TO. Juice back in the game.

Rockets 7-32 from the field according to live stats.

Same thing happened after the competitive loss at VCU when we played Oregon. Flat, flat, flat. Now, we come off of a pretty competitive loss at Duke and can't play with a team with a losing record that's only been D-I for a few seasons. Very frustrating team we have this season. Hopefully we can catch fire in the second half.

That's not even a basketball team. Wonder if there's something going on internally.

34-20 NKU at the half.

Boothe & Juice combined 0-12 from the floor. Yikes.

Wonder if the "real" Coach K still feels like Toledo is an NCAA tournament team?

14 point deficit is going to be very tough to make up in 20 minutes. I think we're also starting to see how hard it is to win games at this level with 3 or 4 guards on the floor and very little inside game. Yes, I know...some exceptional teams have done well with 3 guard sets...but this isn't an "exceptional" team.

I'm not quite sure what kind of team this is, but it certainly doesn't look like a MAC champion type of a team nor an NCAA tournament type of team. Too bad, I had high hopes for this season.

I hope so, it's his job to get us there. He needs to make some serious adjustments for the second half.

Rockets trail 31-39 with 13 minutes left.

Hah! Maybe we need to come up with a new nickname for "our" Coach K? There really is only one "Coach K"...

ALLEY OOP! From Juice to JD.

Would love to see us within 4 at the 5 minute mark...actually, I'd love to see us with a 10 point lead at that time, but I won't be greedy...

Adjustments? "Hey guys, if we made half of those 20 wide open jump shots we missed, we'd be winning".
That's the only adjustment that needs to be made.

42-47 Rockets trail with 7:11 left.

And the Rockets foul on the 3-pointer. NKU going for a 4-point play.

A rare 4-point play and the Norse double their lead to 8.
