Loyola-Chicago (1/2/21)

Refs are homers!  Their post is beating Zach mercilessly.

This team shouldn’t be worried about WKU.  They’ll be well beyond our reach in the standings.

We just need to hit open shots and limit the turnovers. Refs aren’t the reason we’re losing.

Zach doesn’t look decisive at all.  He doesn’t seem like he knows what his role is for this matchup.

They have been horrible since the start. That doesn’t affect our atrocious offense... but still.

Of course we can edit that with another horrible call on Bell. I got money into UNT and this is really ticking me off. 

[Tom McKrackin]

Very disappointing showing.  We’re better than this.

Roof is caving in.

I do not understand giving Murray so much playing time.

Jackson would have been nice to see... he actually plays defense and hustles. 

[Green Lantern]

We need a run in the worst kind of way. Wheels are off.

That’s what Murray does, and he has been much more effective this year in that role. The numbers bare that out. Still a liability on offense either way though.

Bell fouls out. 😫

[Andrew]

That’s the third afoul that wasn’t a foul on Bell this game. I wish there were actual consequences for poor reffing and in hard resets on games due to completely errors. They have been bad all game. We have been bad too... 😕

[UNT Family Man]

Our guards are struggling.

I much rather have Jackson (even though he is shorter) out there. He is quicker and stays in front of his man. He is a much better defender that Murray and can deny guys 6-2 and under the ball. He stays in front and he hustles every second he is in the floor. 

[GrandGreen]

20 turnovers for NT, not going to beat anyone if you can't hang onto the ball

[Andrew]

Perhaps Mcasland will stop recruiting 6-2 and under guards? They can’t seem to shoot anyway...

He wasn’t doing that in his opportunities this year. That’s why he’s not in the rotation

Put a fork in us.

[glick1980]

The fact is we just aren’t very good.

Jackson is the only one who fits that bill on this team and you’re saying you want to see him more

[Green Lantern]

We just look horrible. No way around it. 37 pts with 5:45 to play is awful. Letting a guy who averages 5 pts a game career on you won’t get it done.

[BillySee58]

Jones on the line for a 1 and 1 down 8, chance to cut it to 6, misses, then they score 7 straight. Killer.

Word on the street is that Bowen was allowed to design our defense for this game.
