The biggest is this should bother us and hurt us. But also a feeling that we opened some eyes that we can play some good basketball when were clicking on all cylinders.QUOTABLEKennedy on Ole Miss struggling to handle the ball with 17 turnovers: From the naked eye, Im looking at it like a fire sale where I am. Im thinking what in the world are we doing? Because I know what we practice, and I just dont see it transfer over. But it looks like were just not comfortable.BIG PICTUREUMass: It was a tough night for the Minutemen, who had control of the game throughout most of the second half only to see it slip away in the final minutes. UMass has to be encouraged by the play of Jarreau, who scored at will at times against the Rebels.Ole Miss: It was a monster game for Saiz, who the Rebels are counting on to have a big season. Neals consistent scoring so far this year has been an added bonus.UP NEXTUMass: The Minutemen return home to face Temple on Thursday.Ole Miss: The Rebels face Oral Roberts on Friday in Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP .
