I admit that I fall into a funk quicker than many others on this board, and it's unfortunate that it went wonky this early in basketball. I really hope that Konkol can turn it around.

A ray of sunlight might be getting Garcia back. He could really change the dynamics of the team and help spacing / defense. The sooner that happens the better.

I melt too, but crap , Tulsa has sucked for so long , that I almost expect to be disappointed , Brad Carson said he expects excellence, still waiting to see it , all I hear from TU is talk, but have seen nothing positive

Tulsastats.com was up during the game but is offline at the moment for some reason. Odom was lead scorer I believe. The shooting by both teams was bad. We weren't shooting free throws very well until late.

Too many turnovers by our upperclassmen and we tied them in rebounds.

Too many turnovers by our upperclassmen and we tied them in rebounds which is why I've been saying we should be wary of the frontcourt skill / depth early in the season when we apparently won't have Amadi / Garcia.

It counted in our win loss record…tonight doesn’t. The two games are not the same

What an idiot. Exhibition games are exhibition games. Mediocre D2 teams are mediocre D2 teams.

We've lost to lower tiered teams twice in something like 70+ exhibition games. Konkol almost did it again tonight and got saved by Archie. This would have been like the Globetrotters losing to the Washington Generals. It doesn't matter if it's a game played in a snowstorm on an aircraft carrier. That just shouldn't happen, and any "fan" who says they are okay with it isn't a real fan.

The game with Haith was an actual regular season game…this was not.

It was an exhibition, just not in the preseason. Didn't "count" for our win loss selection criteria according to the NCAA, but they did use it to kick us to the NIT.

I always heard the excuse that Haith was dealing with unfortunate family issues that night against SEOSU. What's Konkol's excuse tonight? Did he have a bad steak for dinner?

Closed door scrimmages mean far less than preseason open games. Those are often where coaches are working on specific game scenarios. Remember when we "beat" LSU last year? That meant less than nothing.

The NCAA will hold a D2 exhibition loss against you even if they say it's not part of your "official record" (we learned that with Haith).

Tonight wasn't an NFL or NBA preseason where the starters don't even play. This was 90% of our real team getting their lunch money taken by a bunch of kids who probably couldn't dream of getting an NIL check.

Preseason in any sport means very little. We just smoked that other team by 26 in a scrimmage. It literally means nothing. Didn’t Syracuse lose a game like this years ago and then make the final 4 or something? It’s perspective

got it.
Are you sure we beat Sd by 26?
The problem is how bad we look on defense and maybe the worst OOB plays I’ve seen in a long time. I just don’t like the offense. Same as last year. We run a bunch of the top of the circle screens seldom moving toward the basket. Stuck with a true 4 that can’t rebound and unless Barnes and Willis turns it on we ghave mo good outside shooters except a streaky Archie.

Very true.
It’s nice to have the “feels” going into game 1.
This exh just feeds on the general malaise and negativity the HC OT win got us out of last weekend.
