Loyola-Chicago's deal with the Devil on three point shooting must have expired at halftime. It is the difference right now.

You can really feel the confidence coming back. I hope they can finish this one off!!!

Shocking, can't get a defensive rebound or a stop to save our lives. Same story all season. Also, how many and-1s have we given up in the past two games alone? Feels like it must be 10+

Currently giving up a 16-4 run since the 4:56 mark. Update: ended the game on a 22-9 run (final 5 minutes)

If we had either Stretch or Buchanan in the last 7 minutes, we win this game.  Really unfortunate.

Couldn't watch game after we got a lead. How did we blow it? 6 losses in a row.

Houston-we have a problem. Obviously , a coaching problem. Each game we seem to be out coached. We have no offensive sets or plan. Out signature play is a 35 foot shot. Other teams work the ball into the low post, look for easy banks against the backboard. GW takes repeated low percentage shots and has to work to catch up. Time and again GW fails to double team a player with the ball in the low post. Does anyone have an explanation ? GW has a 6 point lead with about 5 minutes to go. We do not control tempo, nor take smart shots and repeatedly take our 35 footer to no avail. Our passing is horrible Buchanan starts the game with two bad passes, then walks into a double team ,creating three turnovers in the first 4 minutes. A dagger may soon enter the heart of the program with a potential 8-10 game losing streak. Will we beat Mason on Tuesday and Richmond the following Saturday. I think not. I am sad. All fans should be sad.

Its a real shame. The guys played so hard today. We really missed Darren down the stretch, and the refs didn’t help. How come we never seem to get a home court advantage from refs?

We seem to get the opposite, especially today. Walks, travel, pushoffs, player shoved to the floor, Bishop on 3 attempt at the end of the half, one ref seemed to out for Smith--and CC pointed to one of the fouls he thought should have been a jump ball.
   Is there such a thing as "away cooking" from the refs?
    Our problems are our problems, for sure. But this didn't help.
 

Liked to me like Jun was holding his crotch amd groin. Not sure what’s worse, the hammy or a groin muscle pull?

I certainly have been critical, but not today. The guys played with passion and we just aren’t deep enough to absorb the loss of Buchanan for half the game. I have to take a deep breath to say this, but Stretch too. Without those two, watching Loyola under their basket was like watching Shaq playing against a high school team. They were just walked all over us. And just for fun they’d bury threes.

This had zero to do with coaching. What was Chris to do? Who should he have put in?  He got 100% out and d these guys today. He’s just limited by what he has.

Ran into Jun briefly after the game.  He said it feels like a hammy.

Oof hammy’s are no joke either. All you can really do is rest and hope for the best with the quick turnaround.
