Phantom foul called on Lavender

We took Cokely out and put in Stone Hands. Interesting strategy Cotten.

Two calls in a row went against us in a span of like six seconds. we got fouled going for a layup on our end and it wasnt called. Going the other way there guy was out of control and ran himself under the basket throwing the ball off the bottom the backboard as he desperately tried to make a play and we were called for a foul.

Thanks, glad to see Rob taking up for the guys.

Get Baxter and Mehinti out

Paging Lee from the first half, too.

He leads the team in scoring, rebounds, blocks, and steals while playing less than 30 minutes a game. Why even play him, right?

Cokely back in, so we doing offens/defense subs. good idea.

Baxter goes 0-2 from the line then gets caught up in a screen, then we doubled Giddy FN Potts instead of switching the screen and gave up a wide open three.

If we lose, that is the play that did it.

we shouldnt have called a timeout there, lets them setup full court.

The only other time we have lost at home to MT was a shot with 4 seconds in the game in 2014.

We get a good look.

got a good shot, just didnt convert.

Our team isn't organized to go on the fly. It was a good play and we got a wide open look.

We tried!

8-8

Hey, we only have to win one of the last two against F_U and we avoid a losing season! /s

Baxter's two misses at the line is the difference

Great look at the end. Baxter missing the two free throws plus Upshaw's three was the 5-point swing we couldn't afford down the stretch. Also, didn't help we didn't score in the last 2:45. One of the team's better efforts of this season. Let's hope we play that hard in the postseason and don't turn in a half-Hassed effort like last year.

Oh believe me, I'm well aware of how unorganized our team has been this year.

In all honesty beating MTSU would have given us a good chance of earning the 5 seed, which wouldn't have been good.

If you think the problem with this team is William Lee or Chris Cokley you are nucking futs. The problems are ****** coaching and a subpar supporting cast. Those two guys are the only reasons we're around .500.

Our perimeter game flat out sucks.
