Unfortunately shooting 3s is our identity. Lets face it, while missing threes against a weak team like Penn probably won't hurt us, against tougher competition, if we don't make threes we're toast..We need the practice..

Mirk is a beast. Brad is a !!!!ing idiot. We never called TO! Call it after Zanoni’s two tough shots, draw up a play and make it 4-2 vs a 9-0 run.

Also how f'ing stupid are you to not shoot at 1 second on the shot clock with a 4 second difference between them! You’re up 11 on now down 10, that can’t happen! You know Power is shooting too, double him there!

Penn is so outmatched but is only down by 10.
Sorry Brad, but WHAT ARE YOU DOING????

He's telling them to keep shooting the 3s. Even if you keep missing one will go down eventually. 😆

I am unfortunately watching the game on an iPhone (will watch it again after the train ride), but it looks like Penn keeps holding us on the screens. Is this really happening or are we just getting really bogged down on some of those screens?

#44 should NOT be shooting any three-pointers from here on in. He's been horrible today with that shot.

Get him inside!!!! And now allowing Penn to hit a big three before the half was huge. They get the ball to start the 2nd half--watch they'll hit a three to cut it to seven points, when it should be a 13 point game right now. But, someone was too slow and allowed their best player on the damn floor to hit a wide-open three.

I'm sorry, but it's the little things that can hurt a team.

Brad Underwood has ZERO situational awareness and it trickles onto the court. Just giving away points. May not hurt us this game, but how many one possession games have we lost? That issue isn't fixable at this point. Hes shown zero ability to change in that regard. Let's hope we go on a heater.

Drives me nuts in football and hoops how fans have more situational awareness than millionare coaches. Bury them in the next 10 minutes and move on.

At least if we're gonna brick a buncha 3's we're dominating rebounding. I only mean that half sarcastically.

Instead of taking a shot with almost no time on the clock, we shoot early…and then give up a three. We’d have been a point further ahead if we’d just dribbled the ball until the shot clock ran out. There would have been only 3 seconds left. Of course, Fran would have put Donovan Dent in. So never mind.

You take a good shot if you get one and we did. The problem was not playing defense after.
