watch the cheifs if you want to be champions
switched over maybe get a win today
We missed WIDE OPEN 3’s. I will repeat WIDE OPEN 3’s. We also missed lay ups. Layups sat on the rim and didn’t go in. It’s just one of those games. We lost.

But everyone wants to scream about refs but we played really bad. It’s ok to admit and move on to then next game. It’s being an adult.
missed 3 basic layups late which did not help. could have put us up 6 but that was the breaks today.

I mean, youre expecting everyone to stop complaining about the refs. Is it that different?
I hope our fanbase can see this game was an anomaly offensively and that we can’t just blame the refs every single game we lose or trail in.

Here’s a fun stat: we had four assists! All game!
That's dreadful, but hard to compile a lot of assists when nobody can hit a layup.

Addendum/caveat: Even w/ some converted short-shots wouldn't have added to assist total, since it became "drive, toss toward backboard & cross fingers" in several stretches.

…do you think the refs may have influenced how “bad” we played?

No. Being impatient/pressing on offense has been an issue for a while.

It caught up today along with just not getting the rolls on a few.

Gilbert's flinching at the hoop a bit.

I mean... it wasn't consistent. Did you see any and 1s for us.. or any drives to the hoop for that matter... called like wvus and ones
Worst officiating I've seen in a long time. Both ways, but they definitely got the benefit of the refs' incompetence.

That said, we weren't going to win them all anyway gang, so let's just get right against UCF at home.

Because blaming every loss or game we are losing in on the refs is weak ass **** and I hate that every game becomes that until we start winning then the refs are fine.

In this game in particular, WE WENT 1-17 FROM 3. Refs are not why we lost.
Good god. TWO THINGS CAN BE TRUE AT THE SAME TIME.

IMG_8138.png I’m afraid it wasn’t officiating, fellas. 1-17 from 3. 19 to 2 fast break points. 14 to 4 steals. Officiating was far from the cause of the loss. Iowa state was just as, if not, more physical than WVU. Looks like fouls were called pretty fairly to me.

Sucks watching other teams storm the court against you. That’s gotta motivate the players

But it also means beating ISU is a big deal which is kinda cool I guess.

Except for the losing of course.

Tuesday will be interesting.
