Any time we lose, no matter by how much, the refs are never to be blamed on this board. I'm sure someone will come on here soon to tell you how much of a basketball idiot you are, but it won't be me.

Call it how you see it.

One in particular was terrible.

3 things killed us in this game:

1. Columbia was nailing 3's from everywhere, even with guys draped all over them and hands in their faces.

2. Struggled on putbacks and especially on 3 point shots. We failed to capitalize on a lot of opportunities, especially on second chance opportunities under the basket.

3. One ref in particular called a terrible game (from our perspective). The Chris Jones phantom charge was a 3 point swing, and there were more than a handful of other terrible calls and no-calls. JJ actually shouted in to Roger Franklin "Roger, don't count on the whistles, because they aren't gonna give you any". And Roger said something to the effect of "Yes sir, I know".

The killer is that we had great refs yesterday. Unfortunately, it looks like the WCC (much like the Sun Belt) doesn't deliver decent officiating on Saturdays.

We looked good pressing and trapping, we fought back well, but we just couldn't capitalize when we created opportunities and we couldn't get it down past a 2 possession game.

It's concerning that we're still struggling. I thought we'd be further along by game 7... Hopefully we'll get our feet back under us once we're finally playing at home.

We are down 15, but in my opinion, we are having one of our best games.. we are under control... not turning the ball over (5 To's so far)... the bottom line is we are not making our shots.. making ou

And we are ahead in almost every statistical category except points made.

Everyone is hitting me with negatives, but are y'all watching this game? We got beat by 3's. yes, that needs to improve, but we are playing a much more complete game... probably won't pull this one

You know, I'm actually probably one of those guys that would think that. And to be clear, the ref(s) didn't cause us to lose the game tonight. Maybe it was the Mean Green Kool Aid running through my veins getting to see our team live tonight, but I still say that guy was an A-hole. I also won't contest anyone that calls me out for it. I just had a blast tonight and am basking in the moment.

Points #1 and #2 by Tasty are spot on. Very frustrating last night. You can see this team has talent, they just need to grow. Obviously Chris Jones is ahead of the game. Just so calm as a Frosh.

Jordin has so much talent and athleticism, but his immaturity gets in his way. Every time he did something rookie and JJ pulled him out he would spend a lot of time talking to him. Once he figures it out that kid will be good!

I think it will come together and the addition of TM will only make it better.

Good finally meeting some of you guys last night!

I can't you bball fans any smack without the overreaction? How many times have those on the football board seen the exact same thing posted about basketball. Just trying to give some of it back.

Call me when your team wins a D1 game...

The door is always open, Mean Green friend.

LMU win + WBB tourney + MTSU win = happy MGN.

      I find this thread comical. A program that wouldn't even pursuit Sanders as he was getting ready to leave Jackson State. They held on to Littrell could actually win something in year 7 is going to kick out Coach ELF and his flashy offense after year 2? 🤣. You can't give tickets away because it is so poorly managed and underperforming. If I were tasked with actually sabatoging the program in a covert manner I couldn't do it better. I wouldn't think I would get away with hiring a coach with no college experience as my head coach and retaining another coach for 7 years with nothing to show for it. Hell why aim low, let's go get Jason Garrett. He has NFL experience. 🤣🤣🤣

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      That is comical. 🤣 The only thing that makes things move in a capitalist soceity is money. And our Football program doesn't generate it. I refuse to continue to waste my time with a core fanbase that seems not to understand that. A fanbase that 💩on even the idea of pursuing a transcendent force with a home and other local tie in the North Texas region like Coach Sanders. Colorado Budget/Endowment: 2.3 Billion North Texas: 2.6 Billion Colorado Student Enrollment: 37k North Texas: 47 k There is no excuse for a program in a perfect position to reap the most benefit from Sanders jumping up from FCS to FBS for not pursuing Sanders PUBLICLY. Retaining Seth Littrell in the foolish misguided hope that he would go beyond 0.500 vs FBS competition in year 6 was a low aspirational budget conscious decision. It communicated to me this program doesn't care to sell more tickets nor win. Only when have ridiculous nationally embarrassing outing does this program respond with minimal conventional competency, making staffing moves. We wouldn't be debating this level of idiocy any fanboard for a respectable program. Who brings back the WORST DC in all of FBS for year 2 and NOT fire the head coach who wanted to give him another chance when he fails in year 2? My donations will go strictly to the academic side of the house from now on. Long story short if Eric Morris performs in a underwhelming fashion Morris and Jared need to be gone.

      The long snapper had an injury a couple of games ago. I don't think it was serious, but it may have some effect on the recent FG issues.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Yet they are placing us there via their ranking committee. Regardless, Tulane boxing the truck stops out of the playoffs entirely would be a nice shiny bow on an already unbelievable year.

      UTSA is the only victor today. Not a good round for the American.
