That’s pretty spot on with how I feel about it after sleeping on it. The officiating definitely hurt, but we had every opportunity to win the game and just couldn’t get it done down the stretch. It hurts, but that’s the nature of basketball-upsets happen. Yale had a dude that made extremely difficult shots all game, and shot well enough from the line in the second half to get it done.

Cest la vie. Sometimes things just suck. I would still much rather be sitting around pissed about getting knocked out in the first round than watching our guys play in the NIT, or not at all.

This loss can easily stop the "we must hire Steven Pearl" talk as well.

Full circle. Now we are back to just being glad to be there.

JK. This entire sports year (past 12 months) sucked. Every part of it

Until 1984, this was true.

The last 5 years is the best it’s ever been for AU basketball.

Winning SECT twice, regular season twice, final 4.

1983-1990 or so was really good.

Porter and Cliff Ellis.
Marquis Daniel.

We’ve had moments, but it’s nice to start stacking tournament invites.
