Caught the end of the call on the stream. 7 to nothing run by them in a little more than a minute to take the lead. Sounds like we shit the bed.
Pulled a Niner.
Great.

Well, I know what you mean, but I have zero faith we even get to overtime with last yearās head coach.

Even with the bad play to end, if we make those two free throws, we probably win.

Not good enough. Youāre up by six with a minute left and canāt bring it home. And make stupid plays to screw yourself.

Graves was given the ball at the end way to much, should have been Patterson, and we canāt even throw the ball in successfully WTFā¦
Yep, Milicic silly foul in backcourt, Graves missing FT, followed by Niagu foul. Not putting that on Coach.

This isnāt a good roster. Fearne is doing a solid job keeping these guys in games. Players just didnāt execute in crunch time

Come onā¦ how about tell the players not to foul at any cost, the clock is our friend a foul that stops the clock and gives them free points is the only thing that can lose us the game up 6 with a minute leftā¦ plus like I just said Milicic or patterson should have had the ball when they were going to foul!
Graves has struggled to get the ball inbounds every game and coach Smith keeps putting him right back out there.
Honestly, I have more hope after the game than I thought I would have this year. I expected the train to be cascading off the rails and itās not. We are playing better than I expected given what we lost and added.
We played well from what the radio said. Two guys with little experience, if you ignore he Igor foul, hurt us down the stretch, but theyāll grow hopefully.
Should have won, but Iām still more positive about this team than I expected to be.

Fearne didnāt throw the ball away any make stupid fouls. In position to win and our players did not make plays that were there. That is not a coaching problem.

Everything that could have gone wrong at the end did go wrong. Very disappointing after leading much of the game.

Probably one of worst niner collapseās Iāve seen. And thereās been many. 10 things had to go wrong in the last minute and they all did. Multiple fouls away from the basket. Missed Free throw and giving up rebound. Even on the TO call by graves. He wasted 10+ seconds. We also made a huge mistake in 2nd half when putting Dishon in. Up 45-37 and they went right at him with 4 fouls. He wouldnāt contest and just moved out of the way. Such a brutal loss. Should have been a P5 win.

Yep, need all the P6 wins we can get, both for us and the conference. See that SMU beat West Virginia in Fort Myers so could have been a Big XII sweep in the Sunshine State.
We can just agree to disagreeā¦
On one hand you are right the team look better than I would have thought also, on the other hand this is going to be a difficult decision on the offseason with Fearne then. If we go something like 17-13 or 18-12 are are competitive in these games do we keep him on? Or do we need more than thatā¦ I hate we are in this positionā¦
Lose a game in OT that youāre leading by six with a minute left? Yep. Thatās pulling a NINER. 
So Braswell and his 6 minutes on the court canāt even break into the 8 man rotation? Very disappointing.
Yep, I totally agree with you. We should have let RS go before we got to this point.
