HAHA Cooper just got called for boxing out his man as he goes over his back. He's been getting screwed with some of these foul calls.

Moussa is so creative in how he picks up fouls.

I really hate our sit around and wait till there's like 5 seconds on the shot clock offense.

The ref called the foul before Releford even touched him.

I noticed that too. He did end up fouling him though.

Yeah, that was absurd. It was a foul but he already called it.

Seriously, if we blow this game versus this shitty fricking team

This is one thing I hate about basketball refs. They don't call what they actually see.

Pollard still can't shoot a 3, but he's looking a lot more comfortable. Nice drive by him there.

It is not against the fricking rules to attack on offense.

So frustrating.

Someone needs to tell Grant the old phrase, "When something ain't broken, don't fix it". What happened to the somewhat active offense in the first half? Why are we playing so conservative now?

About 3 more seconds need to be taken off the clock.

Levi and Moussa might have just saved Grant his job. This loss would have been unexplainable

There was no reason for that game to be close. Totally self-inflicted. We stalled pretty much the entire second half. fricking ridiculous.

I bitch about our team in game threads but have never really been that critical of Grant in general. I was far less critical of him last year than some people when all that shite was going on with the suspensions. I can't remember criticizing him for much of anything (outside of bitching about our offense at times). But I'm kind of losing faith. I think he's earned another year assuming we don't make the tournament this year (to be fair that looks like a pretty safe assumption at this point), but he would have to make the tournament next year.

His post player recruiting has been absurdly terrible (I do like our guards). His offensive coaching is abysmal. I've defended him, and still haven't given up on him, but there's no point in sugar coating some things.

Thank frick for that shot from Levi.

I agree with just about everything in that post. Grant does something that even our Football team sometimes does that pisses me off like crazy, and that's starting to play conservative whenever you get a decent lead. If it aint broke, don't fix it!

I feel like I have said this after every game this season, but he absoulutey HAS to find an assistant to run an offense for him next season. We have some talented scorers on our team, but you can't count on them to create a shot by themselves every trip down.

I was pretty happy in the first half but the 2nd half was so deflating with terrible basketball that it almost felt like a loss.

The team looked tired to me at the end. Depth issues really showing.

Our offense makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out. I am getting to the point that I was at towards the end of Gottfried's tenure where I wasn't going to or watching games because it was just too fricking pitiful to watch.
