Chillini is correct. I have no idea why there was any complaint on the 4.9 reset....replay showed it was correct. Clock stops when ball gets into the net so no need for Cronin to be Speedy Gonzalez to call it. Rules are rules.

would have preferred that we won
Keaton is out of gas.
First thing that came to my mind when I saw that s#!T
What? I am legitimately asking.
Is the crux of this being just pissed off, or do we legitimately feel like we’re worse off losing 3 games in OT and one at the buzzer because it indicates being bad in crunch time than we would be just getting blown out or easily losing?
Got no problem at all.
You beat me to it. We were 7 of 11 at one point and 6 of 31 after that. It's how you get a 23 point lead, then lose a 23 point lead. We were 15 of 27 in the paint.
I know Brad is a metrics guy, but this can't happen.
No, but I'd feel better if they would win one of these OT games. UCLA and MSU should've been wins, but the defenses were horrible. They have the talent to go very far, and it'd be wasted with a S16 OT loss because the defense can't make any stops.
Well, I'm not sure I could feel any worse than this mess tonight.
I’m not sure what Z needed to do there? They were calling fouls left and right. To me it seemed like he was eagerly focused on staying vertical.
The fact that no one stopped the ball is what’s disappointing.

I really hope that if we get in that spot again we put someone on the inbounds passer. If you arent going to defend Dent or guards closely because you are afraid of fouling you can at least make the in bounds pass difficult with Andre or someone. A tipped pass ends the game. We wouldnt foul them and at least that is some resistance.
Defense was laughable from the time we were up 33-10. Be the highest seed to lose 1st this yr and we are way to talented for that to be ok.
Because they can run baseline after a made basket do you are just wasting a defender.
Yep we were in the bonus with ELEVEN minutes left in the game. Didn't try nearly hard enough to get fouled from then on, course the refs weren't calling them anymore
This one is on Brad period….
Plain and simple…
f**** call a good play to stop Dent.

Why are those the two alternatives in your mind? We should have won tonight, period. It was our failure to lose. It’s not a choice of losing in OT or getting blown out.
The game was lost when we got outscored by 25 points in minutes 11-20 of the first half and the first 5 minutes of the second half. For some reason, the staff decided to ride with Tomi when it was obvious to anyone watching that Z was way more effective. Yet we left him on the bench for that entire stretch. We let them shoot an insane percentage during that stretch, many layups at the rim. Just baffling the decisions/lack of decisions made in game sometimes.
I guess I don’t know the play, but it certainly seemed straight line drive all the way.
And just because it’s hard to pull off, doesn’t mean that should be the result lol. I always like a trap in that situation, and if the secondary guy hits a rushed open 25-30 footer, it is what it is.
