FIU 80, Chattanooga 59

First the good- the Mocs outrebounded the Panthers. The Mocs shot just 26 three pointers.

But, of course, the Mocs got beat by 21. They gave up 49% shooting. They shot just 58% from the free throw line, and 33% from the field.

Yes, it was ugly. It was bad. It was another humiliation, in a lot of ways. Jefferson, after going 8 for 8 on Wednesday, went 0 for 3 tonight, and 2 for 6 from the free throw line. Odem had 13 points, Wattad 12, and Cage had 10. No one else touched double figures.

Bell had six assists and three turnovers, so I guess that is another positive.

But in the end, November ends with a 2-5 record. The Global Sports Shootout ends at 1-3.

And the Mocs are left with more questions that answers. Shulman pointed out before the game that they have played a lot of games and have not had many practices, which means that they have not had a lot of time to get better in those practices. Now, they get a few days off. The Mocs desperately need to get better.

Because, right now, things are bad. And not getting any better. Will things be better once SoCon play starts on Thursday? They need to be.

Yuck.

GO MOCS!
