What a horrible missed opportunity we owned. Pikiells end game was pathetic as was the play of Rutgers.

Can't believe what I just saw. Gave them the freaking game when we were poised to go to the sweet 16!

Geo was fouled down 1, he hits two free throws, it's a different game. These dickless ******* refs didn't do their job the entire second half. 0 ******* free throws. They had shots on every ******* miss. Yes we blew it but the refs completely ****** us

Needed to drive to the hoop more and get some points/fouls

Sucks to lose.

Great 2 back-back seasons to get us here though.

Honestly I think the stalling is good strategy. The stalling didn’t make them **** up every possession.

Houston also with tons of luck at the end

Defense and rebounding aren't enough to win tournament games..The woeful offense appeared in the last minutes of the game where a comfortable lead became a embarrassing loss.

It was a great season.

I should be madder than I am, but for some reason I expected this.

At least we proved we belonged in this tourney.

I would've preferred losing to the Cuse than to these guys though.

PIKE these kids deserved much better than that horse **** you pulled the last 3 minutes

Team still has to execute the game plan. Plenty of blame to go around. We lost. It sucks. It was a fun ride. I wish it lasted another weekend.

Listen, the players deserve tremendous credit for a gritty and determined effort. They made us proud. Unfortunately, Pikell played not to lose rather than to win. He played to hold on, rather than grabbing the other team by the throat. He coached scared at the end. That’s why our season ended when it shouldn’t have. He choked, not the players.

what are you talking about. Pikiell coached his best game of the year.

Geo couldn’t do a think right the last 4 minutes. Grimes missed two fouls and the ball went right through his hands to grimes for a score. We couldn’t get a rebound for the life of us in last to 4 minutes.
