Getting calls from friends that say Marquette vs Purdue, Miss St, Wisconsin, and now Providence look like Wojo teams.

Name a game against a quality team they did not pee down their leg at crunch time this year?

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Who took more threes and got outscored in the paint.

No idea. But PC got a bunch of offensive rebounds and scored on the line.

FTR matters.

Correction.

Kolek fought back in OT.

The boys were pretty lifeless for about 10 mins at the end of regulation and first OT combined, but TyKo had other thoughts in the first extra frame.

Kolek had his ups and then downs and then ups.  Wish they would have won, but oh well.

This is 100% a fictional statement. No way a person, let alone multiple, people have called to say this.

The 5th foul on Kolek in double OT was the back breaker.

Actual number is 3.

It was interesting they put in Stevie Mitchell vs Sean Jones when Kolek fouled out.
I guess Shaka was thinking defense versus point guard.

[PointWarrior]

Shaka should ditch the deflections board for a missed 2 footers board.

[DegenerateDish]

I appreciate how hard they played and the OT comeback from 88-80, but we just handed them this game in regulation.  At some point we need to follow a big win with another big win.  It is certainly no shame to lose in 2 OT at Providence, but it doesn't change the fact that we have lost a very winnable game again in crunch time.  So frustrating.

I’m right there with you.

[statnik]

Again refs were fine. Big, physical team versus long and lean one. This is what happens.

Consistency is realistic to ask for, tonight wasn’t it.

[Newsdreams]

At some point this team needs to learn that you can never let off the gas, never play not to make a mistake. The possession up 5 five 3 minutes left when Kam launched a desperate three at the buzzer was horrendous.

I am very glad the boys fought back in OT, but if they take care of business in regulation we’re 2-0.

Love Shaka but foot off gas is either what Shaka wanted or else he doesn't save timeouts like they're worth points, and still wonder why Sean took the 3 pt shot at end of regulation or was that a bust play again. Shaka is a great experienced coach, this shouldn't happen.

[MUfan12]

Sam, Joey, Dave?

I thought they were consistent. Missed a few on both ends. Largely fine.

Sean is tenacious but he is small.

[withoutbias]

Should have won the game but anyone being inherently negative about that performance should eat a stocking full of turds, look in the mirror, eat another stocking of turds and feel very bad about yourself.

Why can’t people criticize a team they root for without you jumping in and acting like they just kicked your dog? We shouldn’t be negative about losing a game we were up 8 with 6:30 left and scored 2 points the rest of regulation? Giving up a 20-4 run between the end of regulation and overtime?

We’ve shown an inability to close out teams in close games. We’re bound to be a bubble team. Closing out games is very, very concerning.

It’s okay to have some negativity.

I was happy they actually got a shot off.  Sean is faster than lightning.  Not sure if he had the time, but if he did, wish he would have taken another two steps towards the basket and then shot. 

[statnik]

I thought they were consistent. Missed a few on both ends. Largely fine.

There were two or three calls where it looked like we had a jump ball and they called foul each time.  We drew contact repeatedly toward the end of regulation and into OT and rarely got the call.

Point

I hate to agree with Fluff, but get smarter friends.

[lostpassword]

Agree.  I thought he was going to will this thing to victory.

[Ellenson Guerrero]

I was good with going with Sean on the last possession but Shaka needed to set something up where he caught the ball with vertical momentum headed down court. We lost two seconds by just getting it to Sean flat footed.

[AlumKCof93]

I thought officiating was fine until 2 minutes left in regulation.  It was awful from that point on.  Huge factor in deciding the outcome.  Also big factors-
- in ability to block out free throws.  This includes Sean jones who did not block out the shooter
- Omax falling on his layups and taking himself out of the defensive possession leading to easy baskets on other end.  Happens at least once every game.  At least 4 times tonight.
-Joplin losing defensive focus
- giving up layups off jump balls
-Kam was just off on anything more than a few feet out.  It happens

Kam should be the one taking 3 pts
