The second half was pretty much the reverse of the first half. Our screening wasn't as good, we didn't move the ball as well and shot 5-for-20 (from the field).
As hard as this is, our group is instilled with character and we will rise from this. There's a lot of basketball left.
Kent State is a very good basketball team. They're off to their best start in school history, and we knew it was going to be a challenge, as just about every home game has been for us.
We tried to go over ball screens, we tried to go under ball screens, we tried to go through ball screens. We tried everything.
We played a very focused and energized first half of basketball. We did a really good job on the defensive end, moved the ball offensively and set really good screens to get us some open looks.
We are going to have to contest their shooters and challenge their shots. We'll also need to make sure we take care of the ball and not give them any easy baskets.
