Loving how Hare disrupts everything and is now serviceable on offense.

Do you think it would be weird if I bought Hare flowers?

Our two minute offense continues to be abysmal.

Nik drawing that charge might be the smartest thing he's done since he hit that deep three against Oklahoma St.

If Mumford doesn't end up taking this shot I'd be surprised.

Need this one....

Nik has been solid these last two minutes. Makes a lay up saving block when recovering after he stepped up to help and stop ball penetration. He then grabs a big time offensive rebound and then draws a charge after we failed to score after his offensive rebound.

Two bad possessions coming out of time outs in that final minute. You could see that Coach knew the second possession was going to hell as he just stood there with his hands on his head after his realized his yelling wasn't working.

It just makes you sick watching this team. They don't even get a shot off.

This is sure to end with a loss in OT.

Final play made zero sense. Mumford kills clock and then hands off to Powell!?!

They need to run plays earlier in the shot clock, since Powell gets tripped up and timing goes to shit.

Getting harder and harder for me to defend Powell. He isn't totally unskilled, but he is not a good decision maker.

Brutal, but in an attempt to be fair I think Powell and Munford are both exhausted.....

I have no confidence in this team being able to win a close game.

Or hit a free throw.

Or not make a series of bad decisions late.

Another loss looks to be in the books. At least they make opponents sweat it out. It is however always a given they will find a way to lose.

These announcers are homers for sure, but a pretty good call. Good basketball analysis....

Going to be? Is already seems like it has been a long time. Extremely painful to watch this bunch. Other than Hare and Munford, I don't want to see anyone on this team get many minutes next year and beyond.
