We used to be good at rebounding and stealing the ball. Not tonight.

I"m really not sure what offense we're running in the 2nd half. Kinda puzzling.

Whatever it is, we need to ditch it. Generating shots for Flo and Bridges ain't it, chief.

It's been bad. I don't like the high ball screen where our guard picks up his dribble then flings it toward Flo and it gets picked off

Oh Flo
The MOVE of his LIFE.............and then the fail.


That was such a great move. Then looked like knee gave out and he lost the ball

We are sucking this half and basically tied.

I'm really starting to wonder how Bridges is anything more than deep bench at this point.

We're shooting 20% from 3 as a team.

They need to make that kind of rebounding effort every time

Well bridges actually hit two free throws

What has happened to our super deep giards that don't miss from 3?

Flag 2-10 and 0-3 from 3. 5 points. Just not falling for him.

No excuse for them getting 3 shots at it. Just no excuse.

After four years Flor still brings the ball down to his waist

This game is the opposite from the Natty in terms of rebounding.

Zags have 45 rebounds, 11 more than us.

They have 17 offensive boards, which is where we destroyed them in the Natty.

Offense hasn't been the same this season.

Throw darts at me again people but we are in BAD need of a true point guard.

Horrible ball handling. Bad effort. Moving slow down the court. Missing free throws.

Feels like how our football season went may be how our basketball season goes. Gonzaga is good. They're not elite this year.

Also, Loehner….what the actual hell man? Been a ROUGH night for him.
DanaDane

Lohner got blocked by the backboard???? LOL


Our front court is just bad offensively. I mean really bad.

Average team without a reliable PG. I hope we can make the tournament this season.
