Oklahoma 3/5 8:00 ESPN+

[leo from jersey]

NIT bound. How did they lose that game

no communication among the players and playing defense with their hands

[bearcatjd]

Well we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.There was some really, really, really stupid fouls made by our guys. It was one of the worse played bb games I've seen UC play in a long, long time.
Extremely disappointed.

We just don’t have the shooters. If I have a gripe with Wes it’s taking out hot shooters. A guy scores 8 straight, and ends up on the bench to cool off, comes back in and isn’t the same. I think sometimes Wes plays too many guys, and sometimes ends up with bad lineups on the floor.

I've sad this before, and it bears repeating the playing time is being distributed to keep players out of the transfer portal and hoping a win will be the outcome. TMO.

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

I did 6/35 instead of 6/29. Either way it stinks.

LOL. Yes it does.

Maybe Miller needs bashing. He thinks Lukosius is the greatest thing since sliced bread - he's not. 36% from 3. 39% from 2. Not what I would call exceptional. He encourages everybody to jack up 3s instead of working the paint. He pulls players when they are on "hot" streaks. Has Bandaego on the floor at the end of the game when he really needed Reynolds. And, obviously, hasn't stressed not fouling (or how not to foul) when guarding a 3 point shooter. Just a few observations.

Let's face it. This team, players and coaches, do NOT have that KILLER INSTINCT to put teams away when they have them on the ropes. Tonight was a study in HOW TO LOSE A GAME BECAUSE OF NO KILLER INSTINCT. Plain and simple.

Or fouling the 3 point shooters in rapid succession. I do think they should occasionally switch men on the screens.

I agree with you. Going to a switching man-to-man against ball screens may prevent UC's players from having to deal with going around those screens. Miller's defense has had this problem for three years and he has NOT done anything to address the problem. Maybe he does not perceive it as a problem. However, this is NOT the first time under Miller that UC's inability to deal with screens has contributed to a loss.

[longtimefan]

We had only 8 assists total in an OT game. We had more dropped passes than that.

[longtimefan]

It's actually 20.7%, but who's counting

Wes Miller wasn't missing all those 3's

[longtimefan]

And nobody mentions our 6 of 29 for 20% from 3 pointers?

[Bearcat9796]

we find new ways to screw things up, but bottom line to me is we missed good looks late

[Carthage World]

This loss tells the story of the season as well as any game so far.

Incredibly frustrating to say the least.
