Adams tackles Nunn in the lane. No call, results in a travel. Of course it does.

How can a league so good have such $#!+ for refs?
Name me one league with solid officiating front to back.



Shoulda known

He was the difference for us in the last 10 minutes of the game. Several huge clutch shots.

Glad we get to stay home on this quick turnaround, then break before tech. Would be worried if we had to go directly to tech

We tried to pi s s it away. So weird. Overall pretty damn good from the line and missing key free throws in the clutch. Survived it

You're a strange, strange man.

Whatever. Moving on. We owe Texas a Texas-sized ass whooping on Monday.
