Don't know what to say except that was a painful watch on so many levels, for so many different things, at so many different times. Lots to clean up in the next week by staff and players.

For all the talk about Pizza Hut parking lots, maybe instead we should focus on actually bringing our best when the lights are brightest. The biggest games of our season aren’t happening in the shadows outside of prying eyes; they’re on the biggest stages, and we’re getting our sh*t kicked in. Again and again in marquee matchups. We’re neither mentally nor physically ready for these types of games over multiple seasons, and it’s becoming a problem.

We haven't had a team that plays with fire since Trent, DMFW, Dre, and Ayo. Kylan checks a box, and Mirk shows signs, but it's been absolute wet toilet paper most of the time.

If you're gonna be all business like....then start taking care of business.

Another game outcoached.

Team was timid, unprepared, and didn’t seem to want it at all (except Boswell).

Sadly, it appears we didn’t deserve to be ranked in the first place.

Would love to be optimistic and say this will be a learning opportunity for the team/coaches and make us better in the end. But I’ve seen too much of Brad and Tyler to know that’s not going to happen. Nothing will change at all.

Great job Boswell.
Good minutes from Brandon Lee.

Rest of the game was a complete dud. We’re going nowhere with an offense that settles for 3s out of our big guys.

UConn wasn’t very good today. But they ran smart offense. And we don’t. We just jack long distance slop from dudes that should be in the paint dominating.

If I heard correctly:
The shot clock reset to 20 seconds on the prior shot, but it was over 20 and should not have dropped to 20. They decided to go back to THAT clock mistake, meaning the shot clock was two seconds too low for the next 20 seconds.
That, in turn, meant that when the clock went from 2 seconds to 20 seconds, on the SECOND clock error, it should have been at 4 seconds… allowing enough time for the miracle shot.

In other words, complete and total fairy tail to allow the shot to count.

Someone needs to tell Brad we are not a three point shooting team. Every time we made a run, it was defense and getting to the basket. 6 of 29 from three is the killer. We are not going anywhere until we change our philosophy. We need to drive and get to the basket and draw fouls. Work the ball, get movement and if you have a decent 3, take it but we are just chucking up bad shot after bad shot.
