There has not been a game thread this year which made it past Page 3 where someone wasn't blaming the refs.

Even the games where we won decidedly.

We have lost this game. The question for the guys in that locker room is are going down fighting? We will see if they have toughness at all.

SC played incredible defense that first half. Gotta give them credit.

15 points is not an insurmountable deficit, but it will certainly be tough. Get to within 8 with about 8 minutes to play.

Win or lose I am extremely proud of this team.
we need more like you, Chad.
