RE: UAB-USM
USM gets the free timeout so the refs can chit-chat. they miss the 3, get rebound, hit the 3, down 68-69

Ball game. Good to see this team has turned a corner. Will be lucky to finish with a winning record in conference.

RE: UAB-USM
UAB misses the 3, one ref calls the jump ball, another calls a foul.
USM hits 1 of 2.
what the hell are these officials doing in the last minute?
Blazers are gonna lose

RE: UAB-USM
Pathetic but not shocking. Officiating was certainly a clown show but we should never have let it come down to those clowns in stripes anyway. Unfortunately it’s more of the same...

RE: UAB-USM
we lost because we didnt try to go inside at the game of the game and we try to be an heros and shoot the 3
we are getting better but we are still not very good
Perry lost the game for us

Duke Edsel should not be allowed to referee Upward Basketball games. He is awful.

Amazingly bad. Even for CUSA
1. We are down one. We shoot and miss, but force a jump ball. The ref that called the jump ball was standing right there next to the play and had the best vantage point. But allowed himself to be overruled by a ref not even in the TV frame who decided it was a foul, which it wasn’t.
2. USM is up three with 13 secs. We throw the ball in. Refs stop the play for seemingly no reason, and has us being the ball back and throw it in again. They didn’t reset the clock, and we lose valuable time.
Terrible calls

RE: UAB-USM
We played pretty well at times but gave up a couple of critical offensive rebounds late and again shot (and missed) too many 3's.
Inside the arc we were 22-44, outside 6-23. We now have 3 players shooting over 30% from 3pts and one of those, Lovan, is only 2-6. Zach Bryant is down to 25% for the season. Three point shooting is such a huge part of the modern game. When you don't create a lot of easy baskets from your defense, it's difficult to compete with such a poor perimeter shooting team.
Officiating sucked. The over-ruled jump ball was total BS.

RE: UAB-USM
Couldn’t watch the game, but here’s some numbers that stood out:
We made 5 more field goals than USM,
But 5 fewer three pointers,
And 10 fewer free-throws.
We lost by 5.

RE: UAB-USM
I was there. Both teams played hard. We seemed to play our best when we fed the ball inside. Sullivan could have scored 40 if we would have fed him more often, and I’m hoping we do more of this going forward. The foul at the end was complete bs.

UAB had only 5 turnovers for the game. USM had only 6 turnovers for the game. Very rare statistics for both teams to have so few in a game.
