horrendous. 

We're really suffering here from Irvin being a complete zero after the game's first possession. He threw up a three when he didn't even have a grip on the ball, it was an airball, he's been totally passive since. 

We'd be right in this game with a healthy Walton - we need someone to penetrate - otherwise, with their length, you're just shooting over the trees.

that wasn't atrocious. 

Rough. 

Irvin has been putrid. His last shot was simply ridiculous and he's gone into a shell. 

Not that I'm mad at the team or anyone. We're just running into a talent/size wall here. I had a bad feeling this would be a particularly horrible matchup. 

Would be nice to see them figure out a better way to attack the zone in the 2nd half. 

Donnal's one defensive possession was sad and then his inability to pull down a rebound because he's too weak - that was rough. I want to believe he can put on strength this offseason.

This team isn't good and Iowa is a terrible matchup. We probably get to 9 wins overall. Donal is a huge disappointment and I have the least faith of him turning into a good player. Have to appreciate the effort but if beifeildt is still playing major minutes next year that means we still are not good.

MAAR needs to be initiating the offense and it will allow another big on the court. Spike has been dominating the ball terribly.
