Game Thread Valpo @ Belmont Tuesday 1/14 6:30pm CST

I was thinking that even if we won this game, I would say that this was the absolute worst basketball game that I have ever watched, in regards to extremely poor play by both teams.  It looked like an up-and-down AAU game where everyone was just chucking away from 3.  Add on to it with the lack of defensive rebounding, missing about 5-6 bunnies around the basket, throwing passes before looking to see if our guy is open/available, an absolute bone-headed technical by McNair in a crucial situation, and Darius fouling with 5 seconds left on the shot clock, after already playing solid defense on that possession (why not foul much earlier, if you were going to take a dumb foul??).  I mean seriously, that was horrendous basketball to watch.  Some of you are going to come here and say that you didn't mind it as that is the way that the NBA and college basketball are moving with pace and 3s, but that is almost unwatchable.  If Belmont made their wide open 3s, this wouldn't have even been close, but they couldn't hit anything from deep in the second half.  I would have been pleased with a win, but I still would have mentioned that this was absolute sh!t to watch, though we had the positives of McNair and Shaw showing what they can do on offense.
