That was the key, we were still shooting good and getting nice looks, but the TOs started. Still not a bad turnover amount for the whole game, but most of them came at key times.

There was at least a real time minute delay, from the video to 770am.

Dia had another terrific game and JFrog was good tonight; Rob just had a bad night with turnovers. That was the difference although his prayer 3 pointer late in the game sure made it interesting

What are we gonna do without Dia next year?

That was a really good effort, and far closer than I expected, given what I saw Marshall do in their last two. We really have a way of neutralizing athletes, at least for as long as is possible. At some point, they are going to get theirs, but it's truly remarkable how we go shoulder to shoulder w/everyone, home or away. This team has real chemistry and sack. Impossible not to cheer for that.

I felt better about the UCF away game going in, but we'll see. I expect Frog to lay an egg near his hometown, w/his entire county looking on. Kid is like a cult hero.

Rob cuts down the T.O's and we win. I didn't see a meltdown tonight, just another stretch of no scoring, which is to be expected on a team w/basically two kids that can fill it. Just have to minimize those stretches

Vilde is damn good. Obviously, Papa is having a special year, but we add Vilde/Leslee Smith/Cannen Cunningham and Eric Norman all as bigs next year.

Good points and my thoughts as well...i also thought that SMU would not be this close at Marshall based upon the last two games that Marshall played. They have a much better team than their record indicates. Good effort by the Ponies!

15 Turnovers (Robert had 6 of them) - 14 assists
Marshall - 15 assists, 9 turnovers.

We just needed one more scorer this year and we could have won these close games.

Have you ever went to the gym and tried to tear drop? I never could hit a shot, and I'm 50% from the free throw line lol.

I have had many tear drops in the gym at Moody. But they were in the stands.
