2025-26 49er MBB Game #17 @ Rice 1/11 2PM ESPN+

Just curious, not trying to be argumentative, but why does anyone think that we need an AD in place to make a complaint to the league, especially the no call when the Rice player slammed into Bradford on the dunk? We have an interim who is just as capable of filing a complaint. That’s the only foul, IMO, that is indisputable from an outside perspective.

Frustrating ending to what was otherwise fun up until 7 minutes to go….I thought we’d improved on FTs, but missing five (inclduing a 1&1) almost doomed this game…a win is a win. 3-1 in conference.

Bring on Tulsa!

I missed the game and saw the score yesterday evening. I thought ā€œOh wow we won a close road game.ā€ I didn’t realize till I got on here that we nearly blew the game :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

I hope we have a decent crowd Wednesday night.

Survive and advance! On to Tulsa!

3-1!!!

An interim could file a complaint but it would not carry as much weight as coming from a permanent AD which the conference would have to deal with regularly. I feel like we are floating out there with no representation…..easy to be taken advantage of.

I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think the complaint from the AD will do more than alert the conference that a mistake was made and, assuming refs are graded in any respect, it was a big F to not make that call. To me, the foul looked flagrant and not calling it was inexcusable, but ultimately didn’t change the outcome (thankfully).

More specifically, I agree, we might be floating without an AD in place, Gaber is being very deliberate in this process and nothing has leaked (good but frustrating). We’re still represented strongly in the conference thru Gaber, but getting an AD in place will help all of us get a sense of direction and objectives moving forward…we don’t really have that at the moment, or at least it doesn’t feel that way. I have no doubt, based on my interactions with Gaber only, that she’s communicating with the conference (either directly or thru the interim AD), but we don’t have that public face of the AD which fuels a bit of uncertainty.

The coaches really must be unhappy with what Mading is bringing to the table for Richart to be getting the minutes.

Maybe Mading can’t box out at the aac level? Richart does have some heft

Or maybe Mading is not 100% healthy

Sorry GSuncc to disagree, i dont think we have a clue what we are doing….

The results of our teams speak to this point. There also is absolutely no urgency to fix our problems.

You are definitely under-estimating Gaber. She is pretty sharp.
