We're playing just like we did in the middle part of the GS game.

unwatchable between the turnovers, 30 foot 3's, and the during game replays.

Glad I couldn’t find this one on TV, we’re still going to have stinkers every now and then. Hope they respond well in the next game.

AppVision needs to stop with this baseline angle, you can't see anything.

This is the worst kind of stinker since we led for the majority of the game.

Reality check tonight. We are much better than last year but we still have a long way to go to be a good team. We are just too inconsistent and don't always play smart. It will be interesting to see how we respond on the road this weekend.

Well App State decided to go back down a flight of stairs today. Back to the 1st floor. To me, their legs looked tired on defense all night.

Played some of our best ball in the first half.Absolute collapse in the second . Turnover city. One of our guys made five bad plays in a row ( I counted them) during the big Cajun run.Very disappointing. We are better than this but it didn’t show tonight.

Serious lack of D1 talent on our bench. Wish I could say at least they played hard tonight but that would be a lie.

I really like what I’ve seen from this coaching staff, but I find it hard to believe that our guys are coached to constantly jack 3s early in the shot clock. We looked really winded, but I do believe ULL has played 3 games in 5 days as well. No excuses. We are just making low b-ball IQ decisions too often at this point. Honestly, I felt like we looked more crisp during the etsu loss that I attended earlier this season than we have since conference play started....still happy that we are above .500 at this point.

Too many 3s too early in the shot clock--a total dimwit could see that.

Dropped two out of 3 on the home stand. Still see a lot of the offensive play from the Fox years. What has separated this team from those has been the D. Tonight in the second half it wasn't there. We'll see how they respond this weekend. Both winnable games so we should get a real sense where this team actually fits within the conference. Frankly, I don't think we are ready to challenge for the top quite yet. We'll be competitive in most games and win our share but our inconsistent play will give some more like tonight.

I do wonder why they aren't flying into one of the closer regional airports. Seems like a basketball team could easily fly into one of those (Hickory or Tri-Cities).
Flew the scheduled commercial flight from BTR, which cost much less than charter.

Looked just like the last couple of years, wild threes over and over again, turnovers, poor foul shooting! Oh, did I mention turnovers.

I tried super-hard to watch tonight's game through App-Vision. I had to reset things on my computer at least 8 times and could barely watch the ending of the game. Why wasn't this game on ESPN+? Is this the best we can do for "App-Vision"?

...this is almost a trap game. Our guys blew 'em out a year ago. They're probably lookin' for some payback. In addition, they're 0-6 on the road this season. Sooner or later they'll pull a road upset...just hope it's not tonite.
Trap game, indeed! Guys and gals, losing two of three at home is a bad omen going forward. This next weekend, as hapapp posted, will answer some of the questions we have about this team.
