Our pressure actually looks pretty good.

Love the effort, but Hawkins could have had an easy basket with some anticipation on that full court press.

Not that I know of.

Hawkins having the green light to shoot a three is mind boggling. For every 10 attempts he might hit 1 or 2 of them.
I don't get it either.

No shame in losing to a top 20 team on their court. Still took 2/3 in the toughest stretch of our schedule. Hard to complain about that.

Why stand there with his back to the inbound passer? Get in his face waving arms, try to distract him. A minute later Guerrier was doing that exact thing.

The 5 minutes to start the second half where the refs completely changed what a foul was swung the game.

I don't know that we deserved to win, but we deserved a chance at the end and didn't have one because of that stretch that let TN jump out to a lead.

That ref just fucked us with that late ass foul call!!

I was honestly mostly fine with the actual call, but I've legitimately never seen one called that late.  He let the dude shoot a high arcing shot, it came all the way down, the other guy got it and put it back up, and then he called a foul on the first one.  It was literally 2-3 full seconds delayed.

We came back to Earth on threes.
I think we are going to be a 32-33% 3 pt shooting team. Not terrible but not great.

Thst looked like round of 32 game and we played hard and competed.

We have enough decent role players to pick each other up when some of them are off.

We have potential to be pretty good. Like top 16 good if we develop.

9-36, other than that we played them tough at home. 36 3's per game will not win us many close ones.

We had them in some serious foul trouble for awhile, should have driven every time to further that narrative. Law of averages says we would have shot more FT that way.

Just need to win the next three (beat fucking Miznoz please!) and get to 10-2 heading into the Northwestern game.

I think after the three possession stretch in the first half where Shannon drove and got hammered consecutively without getting a call - once in the face - he was more timid with drives for a while.  I don't really blame him for that.  I don't think this was that bad, because at this point the refs were letting us be really physical too.  What's important is that both teams know what's a foul and what isn't.  Then they opened up the second half with a stretch where what was a foul completely changed.

It's hard to keep driving into the paint when the result is you get hacked without a call and it's a lost possession.
