Their frontcourt had 4 fouls

[MUfan12]

They fouled Dieng out, and the rest of them were able to go 6 minutes without fouling out.

Have to keep attacking the basket. The guys tightened up once the lead got down to 11.

This one hurts. A lot. But it's one loss. They just can't let it grow to 2 or 3 losses.

Onward and upward.

This is where the lack of a big man who can score hurts MU. It is easier to kill the clock if you can look for a big guy inside with around 8-10 seconds on the clock and he can shot or get fouled. It would have forced their bigs to back off an not foul, or challenge and risk fouling out. Otule missed several shots from within a foot today. Gardent hardly played. A decent big inside, heck, even a Barro, could have helped ice that game.

But did they really go six mins without fouling?  I saw Jennings get away with at least three fouls, two of which should have been and 1's

The refs ate their whistles for the last 5 minutes, but we still pissed this one away. Maybe if we played like us at the end we win the game. Instead, Buzz coaches us out of it. And he wasn't even out-coached...Pitino didn't really do anything, it was all what we did.

Ugh, inexcusable.

Yeah, def can't blame the refs, but those no calls were inexcusable
