1. Refs were pretty bad. That double foul on Collins was Tim Donaghy level stuff. Frustrating because we had a good game plan to attack the basket and definitely gave the refs plenty of calls to make on that end, they just didn't make them. Can't get to the free throw line if the refs aren't going to call anything.
2. The defense was atrocious. We gave up at least 10 points just from lack of focus.
3. Manning deserves some heat for that half. Put us in a bad position by putting Wilbekin/Childress out there together. Absolutely killed our momentum. Also sat Collins and Crawford way too long. For a coach that embraces an aggressive end game fouling philosophy it's odd to see Manning cling to 2 fouls and you are out for the half conventional wisdom.
4. It was clear we weren't winning this game after that double foul call on Collins, but that first half was still disappointing. I hope to see us cut into a lead for once rather than give one up.
