1. Obviously Underwood's message at half was to stop bombing threes and playing Alabama's game. Bos and Andre listened, but feel like this game exposed our lack of a true post player at the five. Hopefully will get better with Tomi healthy, but he's also not really that guy. Last year we could mix it up and throw Morez in there, but Big Z is not that guy.

2. As weird as it sounds, I think we really missed Brandon Lee last night. I know our knowledge of him is limited, but we needed another gritty guard that could be a sparkplug and defend. Hopefully he's on the mend, because we're going to need him against smaller lineups like Alabama.

3. Happy with Petrovich in his limited time. Excited to see what he can do when healthy.

4. Tomi was gassed and pretty ineffective.

5. Ben had a rough game, but appreciate his defensive contributions.

6. Welcome back to Earth, Keaton Wagler. I would assume a lot of his issue were due to him being absolutely exhausted chasing those quick guards around. I think fatigue was a thing with Mirk too.

Oh well. Wish we could have that one back, but there's a lot to learn from that game. We said we were worried about what happens when we play a team with quick and skilled guards...now we know, and we need to fix it. Onward and upward.
