Hard to argue with Chief.  Dan stayed with Mahaney too long.  Ball's defense was lousy in the first half.  Johnson has to catch the ball.  Made some huge plays late.  Reed was a monster because Memphis was 100% focused on stopping our 3s.  Wish we were as focused on stopping theirs.  We have no facilitators in the starting lineup.  Not enough off ball motion or screening.

Positives - Stewart broke out and dominated.  I don't know why he wasn't in during OT.  Nobody was more effective per minute than Stewart.

While we can say Dan's Tech cost us the game, I think the weak schedule cost us the game.  The team came out like the were playing Lemoyne and seemed shocked by how athletic, strong and aggressive Memphis was.  Yes.  Welcome to real college basketball. Had we played even decent low majors we are prepared for this and win the game.  So the important thing is what they learn from this game.  Not just personnel groupings, but how tough they need to be.  Liam, hate to break it to you but you can't only shoot when nobody is near you.  Same for Alex.  We aren't going to scheme wide open looks as effectively this year.
