I realize Franklin hasn't been setting the world on fire lately, but he didn't play one minute today. Unless he's hurt, it seems as if he should get at least 5-6 minutes to see if he can contribute anything. If not, then sure, sit him the rest of the way.

There's death, taxes and ... our scoring droughts. In every half of every game, you can just tell yourself "We're gonna have a 6-7-8 minute stretch where we won't score. Or maybe we'll get a couple free throws." ... And you almost can sense when it's coming. I just cannot understand for the life of me, why the staff hasn't figured out a way to create some better scoring opportunities during these stretches. It boggles the mind.

Missed box-out on Reuvers. ... TDJ's missed FTs.

God, I detest Bucky.

Davidson ain't gonna miss.

If I'm Archie, I tell the ref -- I'm gonna foul before the ball is thrown in. Then have someone make contact as soon as the ref hands over the ball.

That sure seems like a shot Al shoulda made. ... He had a pretty clear path to the bucket!

How do you not box him out!

I really, really, really, really wish they'd stop acting as if Lunardi is on the NCAA committee. He is no authority.

We're either gonna have to hit 3s or Bucky's gonna have to miss FTs. I don't see either happening.

Game over. ... Way, way, way too many missed opportunities on offense. Too many wasted possessions.

Man, TDJ just HAS to make that shot. I know it was contested, but ...

That scramble was typical of our lack of discipline or fundamentals -- or whatever. ... While the ball and all those bodies were flying all about, nobody kept a body on Davidson -- and he hit an easy 3. There was nobody within five feet of him.

Just for fun -- let's not have a drought this half. We can do without.

OK, ESPN -- you can get rid of the split-screen. I don't need to see a dude sitting on the bench.

The TV TOs come every four minutes -- 16:00, 12:00, 8:00 and 4:00, or as close as possible. I never understood why if a team takes a TO at say, 12:30, why we need another one 30 seconds or so later. I know -- commercials pay the bills. But still ...

FLAGS!!!

So, the guy falls on top of Green -- and there's no foul? WTF!

Man, that's four really bad shots by Rob ... The decision-making isn't quite there just yet.

I know he's gotta pimp the ESPN guy, but Lunardi DOES NOT pick the NCAA field. He's just making a guess.

For the most part, I like Jason Benetti. But this analyst is a doofus.

Joey -- you gotta either let that go or hammer him so he doesn't make it. An and-one is the last thing we need.

Joey, I know you got fouled -- but YOU GOTTA MAKE THAT!!!

C'mon TDJ, get going! Help send your pals Devonte and De'Ron out on a winning note! The fact that we're winning and our best player is scoreless is a small positive. But it also scares the hell out of me.

I think Al got away with one there. He lowered his shoulder ... Man, I just cringe every time he starts driving.
