Hill 3-3 2-3 10, N'Diaye 0-2 0-0 0, Henley 4-10 6-6 15, Rishwain 1-5 0-0 2, Thomas 7-17 2-3 17, Cherry 5-12 0-1 10, Bedford 3-8 0-0 7, Hicks 0-1 0-4 0. Totals 23-58 10-17 61.

Not all losses are created equal. Falling to three Mountain West teams inside the top 80 in KenPom is not anything to be sour about. Sure, it would have been exciting to see the Pokes pull of some major upsets and insert themselves into the thick of the conference race.
