I’m sorry but anyone who doesn’t understand how bad of a coach we have right now doesn’t understand basketball.

How do you not foul right there to give us a tie game with the ball?

How do you call a momentum killing TO for us so you don’t have one at the end?

Bones torched us. Hit the three at the end of the first half and then the three at the end of the game. Remember, he never should’ve had the chance to hit three at the end of the first half but that’s another story.

You love he missed a FT to potentially tie then win the game?

What the fuck planet are you on?

You’re so obsessed and defensive of Leggett you’re defending a missed FT to tie then win the game?

Absolutely fucking stupid.

Missing the free throws is bad and giving up the offensive rebound was bad but the one that absolutely kills me is after the VCU make with 30 seconds left and you can run the baseline you throw it in to the fucking corner and let yourself get trapped. We lucked out with the possession arrow but it took our ability to run the baseline away which led to having to lob it up to DJ who is almost certainly not who you’d pick to go to the line in that situation. It’s the little things that kill you.

Yup. Worst case tie game with the ball and time to go win. Rather than let them beat you with a 3. Like they did.

Relax man. This season is what it is at this point, beating VCU tonight would do jack shit for this team. I want us to win every game possible, we had every chance to win this without those FTs. At this point just let your players try and get better

At the end of the day it was the same old story. Free throws and turnovers. We were -8 in points off turnovers and missing the front end of the two one and ones in the last minute killed us.

I don’t love it, but I get your point. I agree that it will make Ish a better FT shooter in the long run. He will work harder because of it.

Just had a realization.

Ish= EC as a freshman
Shep= Munford as a Senior

Whats this mean?

Theres a bright future for this squad and SHep/Fatts will have a nice professional career, but we have to get through the BS first.

Not sure how you blame Cox for that loss. He made the right calls, we just didn’t convert. FTs have been our kryptonite. Really miss Fatts in those situations.

No way . How about you get a defensive rebound either of the last 2 times down the court and not give them multiple shots or how about you not miss the front end of 2 one and ones at the end.. or maybe you don't leave bones hyland wide open to win it.. this ones on the players.. loose balls in a close game you have to be hungry for them...

Nope, I won’t let this go. There is no “getting the point” of loving a missed FT to tie and then win the game.

Point really is that if you have to lose a game, lose in a way that you don’t just forget about it next week. Clearly we’ve had a lot of those this season. When you lose because of something YOU did to the team you take it personally. I think Ish has his head on straight, I’m not saying he needed that per say, but you can tell how much this means to him

This team has become so predictably choke-y that I no longer watch it in real time but just fast forward until the last few minutes of the inevitable inexplicable timeout and last- second defeat.

Nice to see Ish give us a preview of the post -Fatts era, however.

No, no one is paying a nickel for your thoughts. You are the guy volunteering to run around a building, while Coach Cox was sitting in Coach Thompson's office learning the game of basketball. Lets keep things in perspective.
