Obviously, Bragg and Lucas are still off. Azubuike was fantastic, but I imagine that against a better interior team he won't get that many open alley-oop opportunities. Coleby contributed a little (3 boards, a block and 1 point).

The biggest wart on the box score is free throws. First off, we only shot 16 (7 of those were in garbage time between Coleby and Young's O for 3). Take those out, and our starters went 5-9, with Azubuike going 1-3 and Jackson going 4-6. Coleby went 1-4. So our BEST free throw shooter was Jackson who shot a fairly mediocre 66%...but at least saw some improvement.

So for starters, I'd like to see our guys make more FT's, but more importantly, I'd like to see our guys GET to the line more as well.

Anyway, it's hard to criticize a blowout, but the free throw thing seems like an unforced error.
