Valpo at Missouri, Mizzou Arena, Columbia, MO 5:00 p.m. CT Sunday 11/16/14

Not trying to make excuses, but the reality was that we were playing the first road game of the year, after two complete cupcakes at home.  We played six guys who were playing effectively the first real game in a Valpo uniform.  Couple that with Alec getting into very early foul trouble and there you have it.  Given all that, we were only down one at half.  What we have now is a completely different team. No comparison.

Next year there will be no such reasons for a poor performance on the road against bigger schools.  We will have the upper hand playing teams with new players trying to find their roles.

Problem I see next year is that we don't have a rim protector.

Speaking of the 7 footer from Zionsville, the Z-Eagles haven't lost since the tournament in Richmond. They have beaten HSE, Pike Twp (home of the Teagues), Brownsburg (Hayward's school & where Nored coached) and Decatur Central (the game in my backyard). Unfortunately I missed that game on Saturday because my wife had me going to one of her company dinners where I played on my phone all night.
