Game set match. You're defined by March success right or wrong. Season was a failure and I'm fully prepared for the sunshine pumpers to come at this post

What a way for Walter to go out. Unbelievable

Been saying it all year.

So sad. Unbelievable choke job

First world problems....but it kind of sucks to invest all this time watching during the long grind of the season just to see us go out with a whimper time and again.

2021 was magical....but been a lot of early exits in the mix too

How do we miss so many free throws especially with everything on the line.


The same way we missed all those wide-open threes

We've had 5 seasons the last decade of top 5 seeds without reaching the 2nd weekend. That's no bueno

This team didn't even accomplish anything worthwhile in the regular season. It's time to be knives out for Drew's staff, this coaching staff can't coach defense. That's on the coaches.

FTS…. The only dudes I trust at the line are Bridges and LL who's hurt. Everyone else wilts under pressure


Jakobe been choking most all year at the line save a time or two.

Honestly, Missi better in the clutch save his Houston brick

It's laughable how the bears went down

Said it all year. Not a good free throw shooting team when it matters. . Not a 2nd weekend team. Handed the lambo and these guys wrecked it unfortunately.

On to the next

Hate when I'm right on a negative.

I'm done with 5 star one-and-dones. It's fun for recruiting talk but it will never work.

Poor shooting

And too many missed free throws did us in tonight

I have zero complaints about the refs (for once)

Clemson just slowed played us back into this and refused to take it. Just a really poorly coached team. That's the reality.

Terrible defensive fundamentals and lack of any consistent concentration and execution on offense against higher level teams away from home

25% from 3 and 61.5% from the stripe.

Its a miracle we were somehow in this at the end.

Have to get back to building a core of players who aren't one and done, be it freshmen or transfers (but especially freshmen)

Granted, it would've been this way had we won as well, but just go ahead and pencil Arizona into the elite eight.

I don't like to get into a pissing match with people with a keyboard, but you are an idiot without 2 brain cells to rub together.

Not sure how the computers measure efficiency, but their metrics are clearly wrong for this team when the offense stinks out loud for all but about 8 mins per game waaaaaaay too often. Those 8 minutes are admittedly exhilarating, but the other 32 minutes are pure torture.

It feels appropriate, he's by far the worst five star in the last three years, maybe ever. He was a volume shooter who had zero defensive skills. His best ability was to draw a foul but who cares anyone can do that with effort.

Their 55% free throw shooter makes 4 in a row and our 80 % free shooter misses 4 free throws down the stretch.

Shoot, the refs played a part in helping us actually get back into it.

I would be surprised if Walter gets drafted. I don't see him in the NBA.

We played with no urgency until 5 mins were left in the game. It's the coaches job to get his players ready to play.

Yep, Drew needs to make a lot of changes. He also needs to have a hard conversation with Love.

Which of our five stars in the last 3 years were worse. Kendall brown? I'd. Argue he did far more of what was asked of him than Walter did.

Yes Kendall brown for sure

New premium board article dropping at 8 PM CST. Here's a sneak peek of the title: "five reasons why the 2024 season will be our year to go all the way." Likely to be a copy and paste of the stuff you were reading last summer, but there it is

We're getting fringe 1-and-done players. Kentucky, Kansas, Arizona, Duke - they get the impact ones that can be the best player on a final four team. Walter, Missi, and George can't be your best player.
