The Mean Green Men’s Basketball team have lost another three games and are now on a six-game losing streak. Each of the last three losses have been by more than twenty points, and they went without scoring more than seventy points in all three games. Things aren’t looking good for the Mean Green.

In the last three games, they’ve forced a total of 48 turnovers, and have made over 40 percent of their shots, but they’re not playing well on defense. The worst part is that they’re not able to make many three-point shots as they made only 29 percent of their three-point shots.

The Mean Green will have the next six days off. They need to take advantage of it. They need to take their break as an opportunity for extra practice to turn things around in the early going. They need to fix their defensive issues, and need to work on their three-point shooting.

The Mean Green’s next match is against the Southern Illinois Salukis on Dec. 12. On Dec. 5, the Mean Green took on the Salukis at home, and were dismantled 95-63. The Mean Green will prepare and look to get revenge and turn things around.

But there’s a lot of work to do.
