DAVE'S POSTGAME ANALYSIS

PLAYER OF THE GAME: Miller. I'd say he had a bad first half, but the whole team did. But his second half effort was phenomenal, and he very nearly led us to an unbelievable comeback. He finished with 24 points (20 in the second half), was 5-of-11 from 3-point range, 7-of-8 from the free throw line, dished out 5 assists, and pulled down 4 rebounds.

Honorable mention goes to the aforementioned bench players. Archey had 17 points on 5 3-pointers and 2-for-2 from the free throw line. Walls finished with 7 points and a career high 6 rebounds. Lightfoot had 2 points, 2 steals, an assist and a rebound in 7 minutes. Grunst added 2 points and a rebound in 8 minutes.

This is starting to become a disturbing trend for us on the road. We get off to a terrible start, dig ourselves into a huge hole, then spend the rest of the game playing catch-up. At Wright State, we lost in the final seconds. Saturday against UW-Milwaukee, we were able to get the win. Tonight we once again came up 1 possession short. One more basket in that miserable first half, one less turnover, one more stop on defense, and the game is ours. We relied too heavily on the 3-point shot in the first half, and didn't play well enough on defense to keep ourselves in the game.
