Rice giving this one away.

Rice ball, down 1 with 10.4 left.

The refs are pretty poor

Maybe. Under review.

That's a foul at home everywhere else... sometimes even on the road.

Yes!

And we find a way to win!!!!!! One of the worst wins I've ever seen

Evans hits drive for 2, Rice wins 72 - 71.

Great win... considering.

Whew.

Finally, they avoid the Drive & Stumble/Bumble/Fumble offense so prevalent in the 2nd half & overtime.

I truly don't know how they did it....but they did.

Way to pull it out Owls!

To repeat, these consistent scoring droughts are VERY disturbing............and have become prevalent

Unbelievable non-call. Worst officiating fail I've seen this season.

The team doesn't seem to like or understand Rhoades' purpose in endlessly passing the ball around the arc. Sometimes it seems he's doing it for the sake of doing it instead of setting up a shot.

That was one ugly game; one in which we had absolutely no right winning. It's also the first game in the Coach Rhoades era in which I place the blame largely on him. He was flat out out-coached tonight. Sure, we couldn't hit an outside shot if our life depended upon it, but Coach stuck with the same offensive scheme the final 10 minutes of the game, despite the fact it had no flow whatsoever, and was not working...at all. We weren't even passing the ball around the parimeter. It was VERY hard to watch. We built the 17-point lead (with 14 minutes to go) by going inside to Meyers and driving. I can understand giving Meyers a rest, but he never returned to the court once he sat at around the 13 minute mark. I also don't understand that when USM went on their initial run with Adams, Martin, Jackson, Lott and Evans on the court, why he left them in for as long as he did; thereby allowing USM to gain confidence and momentum, and cut the deficit to 3 points. Only then did he take Martin and Adams out. He also left the same guys on the court for the last 5+ minutes of regulation, as well as the entire overtime. Not only were they likely exhausted, but they were producing either offensively or defensively.

We have not played well in 3+ weeks now, despite winning 6 games during that stretch. I cringe to think what LaTech will do to us Saturday night the way we're playing right now. We need to snap out of it, and quickly, with four tough regular season games remaining....but after enduring tonight's game, I've lost my optimism. I still don't understand how/why Coach made almost no adjustments over the final 13 minutes of tonight's game despite the fact that nothing was working-- offensively or defensively.

The coach can't shoot the ball.

Geez!
We have gone from what, 5 wins ~3 years ago to nearly 20, and sooo many whines!

It was a bad game and it included a trend of the last several games. It's also worrisome that the players seem unenthusiastic and aren't having fun.

Dare I say "a win is a win"?
