Lots went wrong. Perfect storm and we lose by a couple in OT. Fred played poorly, bazillion turnovers, 11CST start, 31-18 foul disparity.

It sucks, but that's life on the road. It'll won't help our seed, but won't kill us either.

With Utah winning and our early lead, the potential to make a huge statement today was perfect. Looks like we'll be flying under the radar most of the season. Time to win out.

The offensive movement is what puzzles me. Need more production earlier in the shotclock.

[wsushox1]

I don't understand. Did the coaches foul and turn the ball over?

Did Marshall make any in-game adjustment to take us away from fouling and turning the ball over? No. Our continuity ball screen offense was not working today, any adjustment made? Nope.

Too many late shot clock situations against a team that had superior athleticism and length. That's not going to win ball games.

On the FEW occasions where we ran set plays, we scored. Can you run a set play every possession? Absolutely not, but it should happen more than it does.

The refs were about #16 on why we lost this game.

I'd put it in the top 5.

We were double digits better on the floor.

They were +16 at the line.

That's almost impossible to overcome.

our bigs did not do enough today

This.

We made enough mistakes on our own to lose this game. However, whenever I see a free throw differential like today there is something wrong. I don't care who's playing.

And that is putting it mildly!

Way to any turnovers. Haven't heard the stats, but we didn't do a good job on the boards.

Maybe we were in the first half, but not for the game.

It kind of sucks that the next two months of basketball are pretty meaningless now that our hopes of dancing depend on one weekend in early March. This loss really hurts.

[FlyingWheat]

Oh, and how many 3-footers did we miss today? Would have been real nice to have.

EDIT: And, if you're looking for good news, notice how long Grady was out there. Real encouraging for his health.

Kennedy just gave the stat.

Don't pretend that you know what adjustments were being made. Fred and Ron couldn't stop turning the ball over vs. their longer, more athletic players. We couldn't get a 50/50 ball call. The hacking that was going on when the Shockers drove to the hoop and not getting called was criminal.

Blaming Marshall is a cop-out. The players didn't execute.

[AndShock]

We were bound to have a ref loss eventually. When was the last one, 2013?
