X Game

Im still sticking with 9-9 and NIT, but I will say the flashes shown by Burton and Dawson were very encouraging. Now we just need them out there more.

This team is not far off at all. Those throwing in the towel will regret it later.

Couldn't disagree more. They're halfway through the season and still can't finish a game. The only reason they were in it tonight was abnormally good three point shooting.

They were beat in transition off of made baskets. Late rotating and closing out. Beaten like a drum on the glass. Just not good enough.

Anyone else worried that Jamil Wilson may have checked out for the year?

but the worst officiating trio we could get didn't help. The call at the end when Mayo was tackled out of bounds and Driscoll called the ball off Mayo was emblematic. Free throw and foul disparity was incredible. How can we expect to win with the foul trouble, foul disparity and free throw disparity? I cannot recall ever seeing a more lopsided game in those areas.

Gonna take this game for what it's worth , an encouraging performance on the road. We will win a key road game here and there and have our way with most teams at home.

Honest question because I really don't know...is there another team in the country so far this year that has fallen so far from where their preseason expectations were(whether you think they were overrated or not)?? So they have that going for them I guess. A monumental achievement!

Not at all.

Happens every year. Recently, it's happened to UNC and Kentucky. It just sucks we are one of the teams this year, as opposed to the opposite the last 7.

Come on Gato. Yes Driscoll and Burr are notoriously not good regs, but the ft disparity had much more to do with our horrible defense than home cooking officiating. I actually thought the refs did a pretty decent job. Our defense put us in so many bad positions that we had no choice but to foul.

Feel better? Hope so
