Ha ha
agree with the sarcasm.

Seriously, I’ll add this


A football team with a prolific passing attack still needs to have a run threat, Else the defense would choose to use all pass defenders with no run threat. That’s even applicable if your average pass goes for 10 yards while your average rush goes only for 3.

Some argue otherwise without recognizing one sets up another.

I SURE am glad our gameplan includes a threat both ways. If we chose to shoot every shot from the perimeter just because of a scoring total slant, we wouldn’t even make this tournament.

If you take off your scarlet red sunglasses, Tugler’s foul was flagrant and was correctly called. It was completely unnecessary. You have to be smarter in that situation. No excuse.

It was unnecessary but nowhere near the standard for flagrant. Terrible call that clearly affected the game.

I agree. Tuggler was fighting down there. That guy was kicking ass. Jojo threw a cheap shot. I don’t agree but, i understand.

It is jarring. Especially for those of us watching every second of 35+ games over 4+ months, and all the sudden, fade to black

That’s why I have mixed emotions when the calendar turns to March. I enjoy the journey

Yep. And while the tourney is amazing, the impending sense of doom looms large. Going into the gane last night it was tough to shake, this could be the end.

When it seemed more opportune than anyone’s comeback, we were on the brink a few times of blowing them out.

Almost miraculously they hit every 3-pointer to avoid that. I was like damn.

We were taking what the defense gave us. They left Roberts wide open. They wanted Roberts to beat them.

I was most impressed that Milos didn’t even know who we were playing in the S16 during that interview.
Purdue/McNeese was over ~6 hours before our game even started. Props to our staff for keeping these guys locked in.

Tugler was the victim of an awful call by the refs
