couldn't do anything. Blaming officials for last night is like blaming officials for *almost* any other game that exists. You have a serious confirmation bias problem. We lost last night because we are a seriously deficient basketball team right now and many, many ways.

Our guys try hard, to their credit. But we couldn't do what we needed to do at the end of the game to win. That's about 5 of those games now when we couldn't do it. All we needed to do was "make a 3," "not turn the ball over," "draw a foul and get to the line," "get a freaking defensive rebound." It's always something different or a combination of somethings different. But it ain't getting screwed by the refs.

Alleyne and Cattoor stop trying to drive when they get body slammed on -- hokiepro 01/13/2022 09:55AM
