I love Fred, but he deserves the blame for this loss in my opinion. He kept drawing up plays for Niang even when it was clear UAB was giving him trouble, and to sit BDJ in favor of a struggling Naz is head scratching.

I agree that you could see this coming from awhile back. George had a bad day, but he had 3 or 4 guys on him and took away about everything he did. Ashamed that we couldn't come up with some other plays other than just let him pound it into the middle..... But, this game was lost because of many factors. Most of them is called basic skills, like being able to guard some one and blocking out on rebounding. Why is it that we always get blocked out on screens and loose our man but other teams just go thru or around our screens. They can drive but we must turn and twist and loose the ball when we do it. Then one other thing is free throws. The other team seems to be able to go to the line and make theirs and we generally miss more than we should.
Hoiberg looked sick in the halftime interview - almost like he knew how this one was going to end.
This was hard to take. Just have to remember we aren't Iowa blow-face self-destruct fan so having some integrity without yelling at each other is important.
- I'm sure those guys feel horrible for playing so bad today. No excuse for getting destroyed on the boards. As far as Georges,....His head was in LaLaLand today. Fred probably should of got someone else in for him. He was a total mess today. Such a slow methodical game and we got sucked right into it. Embarrassing is what that was. -
Congrats to UAB for the win and very proud of the year we had. * (Reminder to self) Give Georges a tweet of encouragement today and remind him of how proud I am of him and the team, he might need it.

Had a few uncharacteristic turnovers, but Morris played well too. Everyone else was mostly garbage.
Naz has been terrible since about mid-January. All I can think is the hip is worse than we know. He is supposed to be our key defender and 3 point assassin and he has been neither.
Good! You like me. I did watch all their games this year. We REALLY lost some games we shouldn't have (like this one) and played just well enough to win in others.
Final Four talent NIT heart.
I hope we have a different go to guy next year. I think every one has Niang figured out.
"most competitive" in-league, I'll give it that this season. I never bought the "best" analysis.
the announcers had it right they said a team plays like its Coach's personally, enough said

I think it was a response to who else has lost to a 14 or 15 seed. I know Syracuse has been upset quite a bit over the years. That is the life of a team that gets to the tourney year in and year out as a high seed. They will get upset from time to time. The object is to keep getting there, fighting through it and hanging a banner. We as fans, and more importantly the players need to understand and get use the the fact. We have a target on our backs. We are a national story. That comes with being mentioned in the same breath as the blue bloods. Be happy, get use to it.
