While it wasn't exactly a prize fight the Salukis were able to trade punches with the Wolfpack until a scoreless drought in the last 4+ minutes of the game left them on the canvas for good.Offensive identity is now a serious concern for the Dawgs, who never got over the hump after a 9 minute scoreless stretch early in the second half.
Mullins, Fay, and Boyle all pitched in on offense with double digit output, but Clemmons, Hare, Dillard, and Roundtree combined to score only 5 points in 77 minutes of play. Finding a way to fix these offensive woes will be Lowery's biggest challenge of this season, and quite possibly of his career.
Northern Illinois is next and while it is a road game, it's still a game the team needs to win if they're going to turn this season around.
