"effort wasn't there in the first half" - david cox
I could be mistaken, but I don't recall him calling any timeouts in the first half. So he's just watching his team not give effort, and just standing there with his arms crossed?

If Sheppard is the PG this year, we are doomed. He's a fine player, but his strengths are his shot and his ability to drive to the basket. He's an average passer at best and his turnover parade down the stretch is what cost us this game. Imagine how he'll fare against teams better than FGCU? Leggett...

I thought it was more rebounding than anything that did us in. They outrebounded us 11-6 on the offensive glass. Seemed like every time we got a big stop, one of our guys would miss on a box-out and they got another possession (and usually points).

The key will be limiting Trey Freeman, their senior guard. ODU is 3-0 when he scores more than 20. He's averaging less PPG this season than last, but hasn't turned the ball over more than once in a game this year. He's definitely the key to their entire offense.
