**** that game. We didn'tplay well enough to win, but we were right there.

Officials had a questionable night and I hope they show up in Holtpon for a round of continuous boos. What a ****** effort by the blue too.

AND Arizona takes advantage of the home calling. Good on them. Make them wish it never happened when they come to Hilton.

You don't start dribbling out the clock at 1:30 up by 3 and yes I do, foul, always foul.
Yeah, this was it. We started burning clock up 3 with 90 seconds left and ended up with two terrible possessions from it. A bucket on one of those would have been the knockout.

One ******* field goal the last 7:22 of the game.

Thought we got rid of the whole guards just drive wrecklessly and pray every possession when we fired Prohm but holy **** I guess not
Wow, I didn't realize that. Our offense routinely goes into FG droughts.

We had so many chances in regulation. I hate the offensive strategy of not running offense up 3 and having our guards dribble the shot clock down and dribble drive for a shot. We did it 3 times and it didn't work. It is always a desperation shot that the defense knows is coming.
And you can't do it when the referees have let physical play go all night. You know they aren't blowing the whistle so don't try to play into whistles.

On the bright side, feels like the team has been playing at like B level for a while, and it took a crazy shot to lose that one. There’s a lot of room to grow. But man we’ve been so sloppy with turnovers and had poor rebounding lately

Such a bummer, wanted a conference title so bad and now it's probably out of reach.
Not really. It was always going to come down to beating Houston on their floor. This game doesn't necessarily matter all that much. It's not like we were going to go undefeated until then and this is the most likely loss after Houston. All they have to do is lose one or two games and that game will decide the conference.

For those sky is falling folks who think that Iowa State is out of the running for a 1 seed. They just about got a 1 seed last year with 8 losses and 5 conference losses. Cool your jets
I hear what you’re saying but also Auburn, Duke, Alabama and Florida are pretty ******* good too. Let’s see how it shakes out
