Apparently, he set a screen for Ace Bailey in their game against Illinois and just laughed it off after the score. What a stud.
Really poor perspective here actually. Protect your team and show them you have your back. Not his fault the ref is inept.
I mean really? That’s your actual take? We lack mental toughness? This might be the toughest team in our program history.
Maybe watch more basketball.
Tough loss to a bad team. But we’re so undermanned it’s hard to expect more. They battled, but hard to replace 35+ points, especially in a late night west coast road game.
Good effort. Just not enough in the tank late.

Why? It isn’t about Wins and losses at this point. You try to get as many wins as you can, but it doesn’t matter much once you lost 2 of your 3 best players.
Um, your defense of Collins getting kicked out in this situation - on the road, lineup in chaos, young guys playing - the team (presumably) needs their coach to not get kicked out.
Your take is dumb.
Understand now?
Why? This isn’t an isolated incident. We’ve failed to make the key plays in the closing minutes over and over this season. That’s not physical. That’s mental. We compete for 38 minutes. What’s different about the last two?
Collins doesn’t control the idiot ref and his guys need to understand he fights for them no matter what. Not sure you’re appreciating the realities of high level coaching vs. just being a lineup/XOs game manager. There’s wayyyy more to it than that.
Well, this time Jordan Clayton was on the court.
Last game it was Blake Smith.
Unfathomable to me.
Yes, it matters who is playing - if you want composure and execution in crunch time - I'd suggest not playing guys who never play.
It’s strange because we are out manned by a lot in terms of talent and are in games we have no business being in. The team fights. Plays hards and now has one go to guy that gets triple teamed. This isn’t close to the best team we’ve had over the last decade, but it is right up there with the toughest.
He can't give Washington 4 free throws and get tossed.
You just cannot do that - I don't care how bad the ref is.
The guys already know he fights for them, so thats not a factor whatsoever.
Bark without getting t'd up.
Another tough road loss. Had a 4 pt. lead coming down the stretch and couldn't close it out just like all the other losses we have suffered on the road this year.
The guys played hard no doubt but their are no moral victories. A loss is a loss.
Clayton made a couple of shots which I was happy for him. Mullins knocked down some 3's. Martinelli is a bull and Berry hustled all night long.
The officiating and Collins getting tossed. We'll let's just say there are a couple of refs in the BIG who should just not be allowed to be on the court.
On to Oregon Tuesday night. Go Cats

Oddly it was our best player who lost his composure down the stretch. An inexcusable turnover and then a heave against a triple team with plenty of time left on the shot clock and a teammate wide open on the left wing.
Yeah but I'm sure you noticed that Washington was a hot mess.
We should have beaten them.
Right on queue. I guess coach Lowrey is just as incompetent as CCC. I keep trying to figure out who you would have in the game and still puzzles me how you can’t see that the Frosh kill this team when they are in there. Clayton played better than KJ. Smith played better than Gelo.
I think you overestimate our talent at this stage of the game. We literally have 1.5 dependable scorers. Couple this with our lack of rebounding and there is a problem.
That one where Clayton clearly had the ball and called timeout was a joke. That should have been our ball and not a tie up. Jeffrey Anderson is a disgrace.
