And Kristian didn’t play because the poor kid doesn’t know how to use his body.

He has no body.

Meh

[roarman]

We sucked. Point blank. 38% from the field, 17% from 3 and 46% at the FT line. Completely unacceptable. But you know, it’s gonna be the elevations fault remember. How we hung in that game is unreal. any other team would’ve beat us by 50 tonight. UC Irvine is gonna rip us apart.

That's what happens when a coach recruits athletes and not basketball players. Anytime a coach refers to a recruit as "an athlete" it's a code word for, he can't hit the broadside of a barn.

No legs left. We have all these players back ready to go and he only plays 8. Take a page from coach napier. Especially in 7,200 feet. Run a lot of guys in and maybe shots fall near the end. I think it was a terrible game plan. Plain and simple. We should have run them out of their own gym. Wyoming sucks.

This would be my biggest gripe with coach tonight!

And that’s why we’ll finish 6th in the conference if we keep playing like this. And UC Irvine will eat us for lunch.

6th? Sheeeeiiitt we will be lucky to finish 9th

[Tripple Threat]

That’s not a reason to air ball a free throw. What reasoning do you give for the other 14 we missed?

Sure it is...the lift comes from the legs.

[cajunfan96]

Big fish needs to go!!

[ZoomZoom]

...and the 3pt chunking stretches they went through. When they focused on driving and drawing contact they were in the game. I guarantee you that long 3pt shot off the time out at the end was not planned.

Man, that is offense every desperate team has...street ball booger offense. Throw the ball up there quick with no other considerations and hope to stick the shot.

[anhil8tor]

Whats wrong with you people? We were close! We almost won. Even went to overtime. But that thin air...

[zephyr]

Yeah, Bob yacked all those free throws. Should have been on the bus back to the hotel with a W.

What's interesting is that in his postgame comments, Marlin stated that he did not blame the FT shooting for the loss but rather the players unwillingness to run the offense instead of shooting too many 3's. I do agree with this but if you hit 22 straight the game before, you cannot shoot 40+% in the next game where it costs you either.

[zephyr]

We had 4 guys play over 35 minutes!! Stupid. Our 8th player was Wesley. Played 9 min. Temple and Lafayette could have each had 10 minutes in this game.

IMO there is no reason not to play Temple. He helps in multiple ways, particularly on defense.
