Lots of dumb mistakes now on both sides. Now, it's because they are tired.

That seems like a ticky tack call compared to what they've been allowing in this game with no calls.
They just let Walter get away with a blatant reach and then called a weak-ass rebounding foul.

Add one!

Second chances have been the story of this game.

They wanted it more than us today.

Stacking L's like it's a job now. This is a 7-10 seed at best. I'm worried will be squarely on the bubble all of February as this slide continues.

That's why the phantom rebound on love matters

Simply gave tcu 2 points in overtime

We had a real chance until 1.4 seconds in triple OT.

This team just can't finish.

We can't make stops when we need them and only have one player who plays with urgency in crunch time.

So an official standing at half court can say he stepped on the baseline. Got it.

This team is good. We're in every game (except for the Michigan State game). We just wither in winning time. That's a bad trait.

Disgusting no call. These officials are crap.

Horrible officiating but also horrible playing so it could go either way today.

The officials screwed up, but this was just plain another choke.

Bye-bye national rankings, bye-bye finish in the top 7 of this league.

We just are not tough enough, we fall apart in late games, the only close games we are gonna win will be where we had a double-digit lead and the clock ran out before the lead did.

just bone-headed mistakes on repeat every game that matters. this feels so uncharacteristic of a scott drew team. we've always had free throw woes but shot clock violations? backcourt violations? absolutely no rotations on defense to help your teammates out? poor game management? 19 games in is just inexcusable for a team with bridges, rayj, jayden, love.

Horrendous missed call, but this game should've never gone to triple overtime
BearFan33
How long do you want to ignore this user?
All the 50 50 calls gone against us

Then 2 phantom fouls on love both in overtime

Another nut-punch loss. This is becoming a habit unfortunately.
