Not just the buzzer lights. It was the red LED lights that flash in the dark once the game ends. Refs should have stopped the game right there and put time back on the clock.

Agreed. Was a clock malfunction or something like that.

Marlin and Jay Walker just said that it didn't affect the game & didn't matter much.

I expect a different type of game tomorrow.

Lol yeahhhhh ok guys. The LR player literally froze like wtf is going on

Agree on stopping game and putting time back on. This is first night we didn’t have click issues until we hit them with the red fog. Let’s try a couple more times tomorrow. We played better rebound/defense. Still can’t shoot threes. Too many were too quick... but they were wide open. We are not going to be a 3 shooting team. So be it.

Makes us look so small time. Terrible terrible moment for whoever was working the lights. They probably lost their job tonight. That cannot happen.

Being security had to get between the LR coach and the officials, I have a feeling their coach will be receiving a call from Sleepy, but not the one he was hoping for.

Yeah, they got hosed. Marlin did what he has done since the Covid schedule, remove his guys from the court ASAP. Game is in the books.

Maybe LR will get mad and join the Southland...

You can win if perimeter shooting slightly off by playing good defense, rebounding well and doing better at line. We outrebounded Trojans by 10, had 7 blocks and made four more free throws than they did. Agree Richards had a great game. Quite encouraged by his potential. Note we have won four down to the wire games this year. At UNO, home against Tech, OT against Texas State, and tonight. Teams that consistently do that generally have good chemistry. Of course all the positive vibes from beating the defending champions and league favorite go away if they come out tomorrow with the same low energy they did last Saturday. Hopefully having Dou back prevents that. I know his turnovers and questionable shot selection at times frustrates fans. However the job he does on defense and glass are a positive. He even had three nice assists at times. That energy I mentioned earlier is something that rubs off on the other players causing everyone to play a little harder. That is not easy to recognize on TV or from stats. Still, we don’t win without fouling out their best player and we can’t count on that happening tomorrow afternoon. Maybe we will finally hit a few outside shots tomorrow. Has to happen sometime right?

Just got to finish watching. One thing I’ll add is loved the spark from Harper with the back to back baskets. He also had maybe the biggest play of the night with the hustle play going after his own rebound and drawing the 5th foul on Maric, even though it was a questionable foul call.

I do have to say I would have had no issue if they would have replayed the final 6 seconds. With the Sunbelt already releasing a statement saying it was mishandled, and the unique situation of having the same teams in the same arena tomorrow I know if I was Little Rock’s AD I would be exploring every avenue to get a continuation before tomorrow’s tip.

Agreed. The ball handler was just waiting to get the last shot. Lights turned red around 9 seconds and back to normal before 6 seconds showed. He got the same shot he planned. Maybe he was a little surprised is all.
