[Eastexhorn]

Watched a good first half of basketball, then a rugby scrum broke out in second half.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Wild three's is going to ger you beat! Drive the ball.

Miami playing tough

Miami playing tough

Texas out of rhythm & lethargic 

 

[TXFF]

Turnovers are killing us this half

 

[Steelhammer]

Why did carr go into traffic with guys open? We give it away. 

 

[UT1983]

Texas had no business losing that game.   

 

[Eastexhorn]

The second half is the worst officating I have eversaw. Was afraid this would happen but never expected theofficals to be such abig part.

Can only hope UConn has thierrefs. and gives them a doseofthis.

Then that is modern BB in 10 years will wear helments ahd pads.

AMEN!

 

[TXFF]

Not having Disu was huge. Playing tough defense takes a great deal of energy which showed late..shots were off and defense was a little slow. The extra minutes from Disu would have really helped, not to mention how well he'd been playing.

Texas lost their offensive identity in the 2nd half. The Canes hung tough and did everything needed to win. Amazing from the free throw line and tough baskets down the stretch. Great season, but could have been even better. Give Terry the job and see what he can do.

There's always next year and Hook 'em!

Great season, I thought this game changed when Carr took that knee into his leg. Our offense was never quite right after that, and it affected Carr’s mobility 

 

[Austin Horn]

I understand the refs made bad calls. We had a double digit lead and fell apart. 

 

[Austin Horn]

Just unacceptable 

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

I understand the refs made bad calls. We had a double digit lead and fell apart. 

Agree... Let's not put this on the refs. We gave the game away. Give Miami credit for doing what was needed, but we put it on a silver platter for them.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Hard to play good defense when a player can lower his shoulder and run over you, Also jump over your back and ride you to the floor. Texas lost thier chance when they quit driving the ball.

Terry might have tryed same chargeing at the basket

 

[Eastexhorn]

Agree... Let's not put this on the refs. We gave the game away. Give Miami credit for doing what was needed, but we put it on a silver platter for them.

What about the over the back ride to floor? Not to mention thelowered shoulder no charge Sorry but reffs  helped a lot.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Yes Miami did what was needed, play the game to refs. calling.Adjusted play in second half.

Bad calls are part of every game. Refs are not the reason the game was lost. We stopped being aggressive. Down the stretch we played not to lose instead of playing to win.

 

[General Hooker]

Yes Miami did what was needed, play the game to refs. calling.Adjusted play in second half.

Agree. Miami hit some amazing shots and deserved to win. But the officials affected the game and were inconsistent. Omiere should have fouled out 3 times. Any contact was called a foul on Texas. Only obvious and extreme fouls were called on Miami. 

It's a shame to go out like that. But it was a great season. Hopefully Rodney will be named Head Coach soon.
