Tough to win when you can't shoot
Overall, I thought we played pretty well. 30 three point shots, is ridiculous, but almost all were open looks. You would think most DI players could hit wide open 3's. We just didn't do it. They left us open, and packed in the zone and it worked. We simply have to hit some of those open looks to win games. We need Burns and/or Reedus, but who knows when they'll be back. Someone else has to step up. I assumed Hadzic was a shooter and his shot looks good. Hopefully, he will begin to step up.

No doubt that not having Burns is hurting us. However, we are not playing our game. There are a couple of things we do well, but instead we are insisting on doing what we do not do well. Come on, Coach!

We need a real coach that will call out the players and make them go with the game plan. This season is going to be a dumpster fire.

Oral Roberts had good size. We kept looking inside, but it tough to get a pass in there when they're packed in a zone. A DI team should have a couple of shooters good enough to not allow a team to pack in a zone like that. We obviously didn't have the shooters yesterday. Can a player or 2 step up? Will DeAndre and Reedus be back in the foreseeable future? I don't have the answers to those questions.

What might have been if we had had Burns all along? Who knows? But you have to have a Plan B. This team are not shooters, but we keep running a shooters offense.
