Jamie's incessant whining pays off as we get no points off the T

This team is one of the worst in the country at taking momentum. Two huge misses and then a lost possession. It's just who they are right now unfortunately

Missi is having his, "I'm not going to be back next year" game. He's been awesome today.

Frustrating to get nothing out of that technical foul.

That was a really quick whistle on the jump ball, though. I hate that call.

I hope he has several more of those especially when we go on the road.

Too many missed FTs. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.

Great sequence there on both ends by RayJ. I love that dude's game.

Walter's got to stop settling for 3s. It's not there today. Attack and/or dish.

That was a good thought by Lohner, but that was a tough pass to handle. And unfortunately, it led to an easy dunk in transition, as is often the case against this team.

4 point swing right there. sure looked like a foul to me

Drew went to all 3 officials one at a time trying to get an explanation of the no call when Josh O was hacked on the lob

10 point lead!!

I won't blame them there. Looked like Josh was hacked

Plus, two is better than 0.

Nice finish by Lohner there. He's given us some decent minutes today.

Getting 4 fouls on their scorer and scoring 4. Lohner os a beast. Up by 10
Quinton

A shame Lohner doesn't have great basketball instincts. Really good run and jump athlete.

I've been hard on Lohner, but on the rare occasions he plays within himself, he's a nice energy guy off the bench. We just don't see that guy often enough.

That foul strategy is paying off!!

He'd appreciate that you noticed him.

RayJ is an incredible finisher.

Why do we always switch little guys on bigs and vice versa! Horrible, and it should backfire every time, and often does. Drives me crazy. Plus we never try to reswitch or help or anything. Poor defense in my book. Nunn on a 6'10" guy and Missi on a 6'3" guy. Not a good plan, over and over again.

We just can not put teams away. It's infurating.
