Starters:
Nowell
Stulic
Coupet
Maric
Monyyong

Time for Coupet to get rolling.

Good start. Coupet scoring. Nowell getting assists instead of points.

We are not even five minutes into the game and Nowell already has 6 assists.

Now we are behind. That won't work.

The only reason why we lost those two games in the bubble and why we are losing this one so far is because of the same thing: Turnovers!!!!

This is the 3rd year in a row where our biggest problem is turnovers. I get it that we have young guys but are starters are seniors/juniors besides Stulic. There should be some improvement but I’m not seeing it in this department. It’s making me mad!!!

Also, you know what made Beard’s team successful was the discipline by avoiding turnovers. I think this team is arguably more talented but the discipline is no where near Beard’s team so far.

Ruot killing us at the FT line.

The Serbians are going to work!

Not looking very good on the boards in the first half. Outside of that, our stats look pretty good.

Things looking good. Good effort second half.

Ruot only 2 points, but 10 boards and 3 blocks.

Nice effort by Palermo. 4 of 5 from the field. 9 points.

Ruot has his double/double. Regular as clockwork.

A lot of fouls, but a good effort all the way around. Nowell 13 assists against 5 turnovers.

Well we won but that last 50 seconds was bad. Flagrant foul and stepping out of bounds almost blew it. Why can't we never win comfortably?

Drama increases ticket sales. Or something.

Hmm, asu lost to Memphis by 29. UCA lost to Memphis by 17.
We are averaging 18.2 turnovers a game. That has to improve if we are going to win the SBC. At least out perimeter defense has improved. Opponents are shooting 27% from the arch.

Yes, I saw that. That is a pretty impressive number. Last year they shot 34.6% against us.
