TU/UCF game thread

[TulsaFan2000]

Everyone is making 3’s tonight

 

[nevadanatural]

Wow, a 22 point turnaround, from 16 down to 6 up. Can we close it out?

 

[t-townpod]

Amazing quarter of basketball

 

[t-townpod]

Team has packed it in for the year

I thought you were correct but someone must have told them otherwise

 

[nevadanatural]

Three wasted trips and it’s only a two point game now. I hope we can buckle down.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Calls all going UCF way now.

 

[t-townpod]

Calls all going UCF way now.

Yup

 

[Gold*]

It would be hard not to tackle an official. They are just wildly inconsistent.

 

[t-townpod]

Missed last 5 -- 3 pointers and game changes quickly. We are such a 3 point shooting team

 

[nevadanatural]

It’s a shame the refs missed that carry.

 

[t-townpod]

Game set match

 

[TU_BLA]

I didn’t even know we had a game tonight.

question: do we practice layups and does it matter?

 

[nevadanatural]

The missed carry followed by the three point play that should have never happened might be the game.

 

[t-townpod]

Missed out last 8 shots 5 which were 3's

 

[panicstricken]

how do you not score in the final 5 minutes of a game?

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

Bad foul. The full court press was going to work.

 

[TulsaFan2000]

We cannot close out games

 

[panicstricken]

lol

 

[t-townpod]

Why is KES in there!!!!!! Geez

 

[TulsaFan2000]

KES has absolutely zero basketball IQ. Takes a step back 3 while Rachal was wide open.

 

[nevadanatural]

Good comeback from that deep hole but couldn’t pull it out. I still think that walk that wasn’t called was what decided the game.

 

[TU_BLA]

We are the worst team in the country with 5 minutes to go and a lead. We stop playing completely

 

[t-townpod]

Haith is toast

We did not stop playing tonight. We just missed shots and tried to force the paint expecting to get calls.

 

[TUPond]

Of course when it matters most, we miss a game winning 3 after the lucky 3 streak we were on.

 

[TUPond]

Haith is toast

I hope so.

 

[Loca5174]

Well that loss guarantees us playing on Thursday. If UCF beats ECU the. We end up as the 7 seed playing Tulane

 

[mcane]

Great 2nd half until 4 or 5 empty choke possessions at the end
Surely Haith will be gone after the AAC tourney
Horrid first half

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Life is much better without Tulsa Basketball.

Never thought I'd say that. But, it's true.

Saving my hard earned $ and a ton of time.

Will continue to support Rivals because Chris and Company work hard and care and I respect that.

Time To Get A Baseball Program Again

 

[Babe the Blue Ox_rivals]

We are the worst team in the country with 5 minutes to go and a lead. We stop playing completely

Running too much time off the clock then forcing up a bad shot is never a good strategy.

 

[mcane]

Well having “enjoyed” the Jim King and John
Phillips eras, I know that the program can get better. In esempio, before Nolan TU had
An 8-9 game losing streak to ORU. A question tempo, I never thought TU could beat them. So I do have a long perspective and I still love TU basketball. So many highs!

Perdona me, my Italian class is encouraging me to auto translate when possibiille.

 

[drboobay]

I was wondering which way we would find to lose when we were up 7.

The 8 game losing streak was during the Jim King era...

I wouldn't blame the referees. They tried to give it to us with the quick time out call in the pile. They gave us chance after chance. Comebacks don't count with the NCAA if you don't have more points at the end.

Coach had us play "not to Lose"

Wish you wouldn't.

This is reminding me more and more of the seasons I sat through Jim King’s brand of “basketball” during my time as a student at TU. It was fugly.

Amazing quarter of basketball

Yes, indeed! That 15 minutes or so is the the way I would like to remember
this team....Everyone played the way you visualized they would when we
recruited them.....

Team chemistry is a fragile thing to obtain, and even harder to maintain..
I guess that was our primary shortfall the last half of the season....
