You should probably re-read the game thread. You’re projecting.

I’ve seen a lot of quality posters participating in and reading game threads.

Says a lot about you that you were somehow bothered by a post that didn’t mention anyone personally and was positive about the team, it’s effort, and the program’s future.

the amount of halfwitted dipsh*ts in the comments tonight. So many f*cking idiots.

A horrible shooting performance at the worst time but proud of our team and staff and I know they’re hurting much more than any of us.

Excited for the future of this program as much as tonight sucks.
We all love MU Basketball and The Kids on the team. Program has a solid future.

That said , I am in the camp that says we lost because the Other Team was better. They had Better Players and a Better game plan . Simple as that . Doesn't diminish my enthusiasm for our program at all.

Looking forward to next season and more improvement from our team . I think Caedin is going to surprise people to the upside.

The other team was better tonight, primarily because we couldn’t make a shot.

An entire season told us they did not have better players. They were not the better team.

That’s what makes the tourney amazing and heartbreaking.

I don't think anyone believes NCST is a better team. MU was historically bad shooting. MU took good shots. By your logic Oakland is better than MU.  ::)

Sweet 16 loss.    Bitterness ensues.

Your college basketball thoughts are some of the worst on this board.  Goes well with your NFL thoughts

better players? No, imo. But a better game plan, better coached on this one night…which unfortunately is all it took. Play NC State in a best of 7. MU wins 4-1. I’m a little uptight about our front court for next season…Gold, Jop and…? what are you aware of with regard to Caedin?

Feel bad for any fans who traveled to Dallas, forked over good money for the trip and tickets, and had to endure being in person to watch that embarrassment last night.

There is no game plan to correct 3 for 31 shooting. It allowed NC State to crowd the middle and take away drives to the basket.

The team fought their tails off the whole game. I thought maybe they tried too hard when shots weren't falling.

I'm just as proud to be an MU fan now as I was before the game. Shots just didn't fall.

That's fair. But I also think it is fair for some people to say the performance was embarrassing, I would never say the effort was embarrassing. I would not find it unusual if the players said they were embarrassed by shooting 12% from 3. I think they have high expectation for themselves.

Had they totally quit and got beat by 20 I could see embarrassment. But they fought like hell and just couldn't get anything to drop.

Not embarrassed at all.   Wrong time to have a bad shooting game.   56-17 over the last two seasons.  A Big East regular season title.  A Big East tourney title.  A sweet 16.   

What exactly is embarrassing?   Losing in an upset?   It happens every season in the tournament.

I think people are splitting hairs or have different definitions of embarrassing. For example, if you are an 8 handicap and card a 98, it wouldn't be unusual to say you were embarrassed by your play. It is not a reflection on your effort or your personality.

As a then 6 handicap who dropped a 104 on the second day of a golf trip 20 years ago and heard about it all night....meh.  I took the abuse and moved on.
