Terrible execution at the end.  Bad, bad loss.

It was the open shot. You don't pass on that look.

I wish Buzz didn't think that Jake Thomas has a shot. He doesn't, not in NCAA games.

We were down 1.  A 2-pointer wins it.  Get the ball inside.

Very bad loss. This game was really a no win situation though.

If you only watched the last 10 seconds, you have an argument. If you actually watched the entire game, you saw that they were denying any attempts at getting the ball inside. Wide open look on the corner three with 2 guys under the hoop? You absolutely take that shot every single time.

Forget March ... how about Saturday against LSU?

I would have rather had J. Wilson take a 48 footer. We can never....... ever perform well against a zone.

This is true.  Except Jake lacks confidence.

Exactly.  What has Jake shown us that tells you he can hit that shot?  I understand his reputation is that of a shooter but nothing he's done this season has shown me he's capable of hitting a buzzer-beating 3 for the win.

Junior  4 for 12 from field with 5 turnovers

Blue 2 for 10 from field, 0 for 5 from three and those free throws....

Lockett 5 points, nothing unusual there

Thomas 1 for 4 from three.

Otule, well he is just not there and hasn't been since start.  

Team free throws 4 for 9, with I believe two missed front end one and ones.

16 points in second half against a depleted UWGB squad.  That is just unreal.

Unless some sort of miracle in Milwaukee happens soon, this team will get throttled by Louisville, Syracuse, Cincy and Georgetown.

You absolutely have a walk on take a 3 when your down 1? Are you actually serious??? Its not like it was wide open...he had a guy in his face as he released it.

This team is full of guys who are hesitant to make a move. Definitely hard to watch.

I would rather have Thomas take that shot than Blue and his hitch which is how I think the play was intended. still... this was a terrible loss in a no win situation but we have to do better than that. This is supposed to be a Big East team against good Horizon League team. Although they should are in the top two of their league, we should have safely won tonight. No questions. Things may or may not have gone our way, but a good squad should win that game. We were not a good squad tonight.

Ok...so where was the go-to look on the court at that time that was better than JT's shot? There's no way that ball was getting in down low. Are we sold that Junior or Van are automatic considering where they were on the court?

The ball came to Jake. He took the shot. I'm glad he did because it shows he DOES still have confidence, even if it isn't falling.

Guys, it's one game. Granted, one we should have won, but still just one game. We'll beat LSU on Saturday, we'll make the tournament. Write it down, lock it up.

I strongly disagree, especially with our squad. I would rather have seen the Canadian drive to the basket and draw a foul, or drive and dish for an easier shot. Anything other than putting the game in the hands of the walk-on beyond the arc.

If the loss wasn't bad enough, several people on Twitter are suggesting Marquette walked off the court without shaking hands with UWGB.  I sure hope that's not true.

Bad shot.  Pretty good look at the end and it didn't fall.  Sucks to lose but GB played a good game and great d and we didn't get anything going because of it.  ^Agreed KC

A tough road loss.  I'd really like to see that last sequence but I suppose I won't get the chance.  Credit to Brian for a good gameplan.  Sorry we won't be able to schedule you anymore.

I don't mind the look, I mind that Thomas is one of our players in on a last possession to win the game.  Is Buzz just afraid to play the kids or is the roster that weak?

Didn't see it, but any player on the floor can take their shot in the flow of the offense. And a three point shot by Thomas is in the flow of the offense.

There wasn't anyone to really go to in that situation. I can't remember too many shots Jamil took in the second half. He was tentative. Gardner is our best option, but he was getting quadruple teamed on every touch. I don't hate the shot by Jake. Never should have gotten there. Junior seems to be the only one who wants to penetrate against a zone. Even though he had 5 turnovers, I'd prefer that over lazy passes around the perimeter.

How about a drive to try and get the foul? If its not there kick it out to an open guy. We had two possessions and could not get it done. Very upsetting.

Vanders miss on the front end of a one and one killed us.
