We looked like a team that lost 4 of its top scorers last year and were adjusting to an increase in competition.

I love Hurleys passion and his disdain for losing.  But he needs to do the math in that situation.  After a tough call in OT where 2 points is tough, 4 is possibly insurmountable.  You can’t give points like that.

This team wasn’t as fluid.  Some plays were like last year, others looked like they were bumping into each other with weird spacing.

Defense was a little loose at times.  At other times they couldn’t play defense without fouling.  Credit to Memphis for hitting the shots and getting to the line.

I hate losing.  I think this will be a wake up call.  I trust this staff to look at the game, the players and themselves to get better.  The talent is their and the coaches will have this team ready for March.

All that said, Reed and Stewart were great.  So happy for Stewart to have such a presence.  Kid has talent, just needs to bring it every game.  Reed was solid on both ends.  Showed good hands with some of the quick passes from AK.

I hate losing too.  But Hurley will get value out of this.  Will be telling to see how team responds next game.
