Tip off is in just a little bit. Will our guys continue a dominant performance? This will be a long road trip week, as already mentioned. I hope we start, keep and end it strong. No let down games.

I have wondered about our travel to someplace like San Antonio. I used to drive down almost every Monday for the week, and could on or about 8 am and be there by noon or so -- non-stop tripping. Do our athletes ride down on a bus the morning of a 2 pm game or do they go in the evening before? I admit that on my drive downs, if I happen to be playing golf that afternoon, it was a bit more erratic than after staying a few days -- your body is not quite the same after a morning of travel. I assume we bus down the morning of the game but that can be tough in my opinion. At least San Antonio was a lot better than Houston!!!

If I wasn't on call this week, I might have thought about driving down. I like the drive from Abilene to SA.

I think the game is only on stretch.
***So far, I followed the Watch links and am seeing the pregame anyway.***

Mason looks like he suited up in the Twitter pictures and is good to go today

Hoping this is a game where all our guys play 10-18 minutes.

Well, we started ok, but now struggling a bit. We have to shut down the lanes and get better offensive rebounds.

Defense is stepping back up a bit and we finally get a couple of 3s. So far, back up 21-20 with 7:56 in the 1st.

[I believe there is a rule that the teams and the refs have to be in town the day before a game. The Cats went to SA yesterday.

Refs seem to be calling a lot of fouls on both sides and we are struggling with FTs again. We are back down 25-27 with 5:04 to go in the 1st

Our TurnOvers are bad and climbing. Sloppy. Free throws and 3's are awful. First half. Joe better straighten them out. 2 of 12 3's. Cole can handle them. Why shoot 3's? Work that guy!

Im not gonna say the refs are bad, but let's just say they called a charge after a shot was made? How does that happen?

We are just not playing impressive right now: some bad passes, not hitting shots from the outside and still not getting enough 2nd and 3rd shots. UIW is hitting us from the outside and taking advantage from the line. There is zero reason we should be down right now and need to come out in the 2nd half as a different team.

Sigh... need a spark on offense beyond the Kohl matchup. Nice to see Mason on D.
