I think it was a good call-we win if he doesn't touch it.

SMU was up 7 with 40 seconds left...I hardly blame this on the refs.

Trying not to shed tears at work.

Hopefully this is motivation to build on for next season. Just like last season.

Let's get MK and Nic back and go at it again.

Alford was unreal, give him credit. Those were difficult 3's at the end and everyone was nothing but net.

MK (or Ben Moore? didn't see numbers) laying down on the ground at the end just barely summarizes my feelings atm

We threw away a perfect set-up for a run into the sweet 16. Sickening. I want us to take time with the break away after the steal to drain off a few more seconds. Then have a few plays set-up for the OB play when we are up by 2. Instead, we get this. Arrrrgggghhhh. Call a TO and set it up.

Well that was cheating awarding 3 points for a basket that was not made!

After all the team has been through this season....
After playin' like THAT and still with a chance to win....

To be honest there were at least 2 times that I wished Larry Brown had called a time out because I just knew it was needed but he almost never calls timeout and what happened Bryce Alford makes a 3.
You have to know things before they happen sometimes....

My timeouts would have stopped 2 or 3 of his 3s.....

Anyway, play better the whole game and ya don't have to go through this s h i t and feed egos etc.

19-0 run was hardly a major choke.

Both teams had bonehead turnovers at the end.

Major frustration as this looked like a Sweet 16 team.

Baylor, UT and SMU all losers today.

Yea, it doesn't make sense to me for not taking a timeout.

Either way, may have just guaranteed Nic and Markus coming back next season.
