This and the Oakland game were frustrating because I'm not sure the better team won. Yes we continue to struggle at the FT line, the 3 point goal hm 4-17 and outrebounded. We need a power forward in the 2016 class that can rebound and play solid defense. Next year we will also have two 6'9 juniors which will also take the burden off Thompson. Steve is right LWH not being eligible this year really really screwed things up. I really not impressed with Toney, Mangum and Price, they need to think pass first and pick their shots , too many trips down the floor without attempting to work the ball inside or taking it down the lane, there's many times where on the break they just take a solo shot when their teammates aren't even in a position to rebound. As for the defense we all know a hot 3 point shooting team can tear a zone apart. You know I was thinking that if Talley was on this team with Thompson Talley may lead the nation in assists.

I will love next year watching Thompson, LWH, and Madray in the MAC (and there won't be a Boothe in Toledo).

Do remember that Thompson has ave. 22 ppg starting with the Marygrove game. That was his coming out party. Before that game he was promising. Starting with that game he has been excellent.

This team could be scary good across the front line.

but the backcourt needs to get its act together.
