Had no business being in that game at all. Not a bad loss or anything, hell we were an underdog for a reason tonight.

Still disappointed to see The quality of how they played though. This team is a master of feeling like you're getting dominated, hanging around, and making it a close contest. UCF made a few bigger plays down the stretch and that was that.

We all knew winning every close game wasn't sustainable, and tonight it didn't bounce our way.

On to Houston, play better, and go get a conference title.

Didnt get to watch the game but not too surprised/disappointed from the reports I'm seeing. Glad to see Tre finally show some life on offense.

How big of a hindrance was Brooks's foul trouble? Did Cumberland step up his play in the second half or did he leave a lot to be desired?

Not an issue IMO. Taco wasn't dominating, most of their scoring came from Taylor who carved up our guards.

Brooks is definitely the only guy that can somewhat battle with taco, everyone else just got bullied. There center/pf/sf is 7’6, 6’11,6’9 so it’s not a great matchup for us.

I think they are the better team, they are stacked. Offensively everyone but Allen is a really good player and then I think Allen is the best defender in our conference, they should win the conference tournament.

I disagree to an extent. Brooks plays Tacko 1:1. Others need help. The help left others open.

Not having to do with brooks, but having Tacko in the paint (for 7-8 seconds like the announcers said) really makes it tough on dribble penetration. If a guy beat you, help cannot come off Tacko as it’s just an easy lob and dunk.

Getting a little tired of Cumberland just going 100 mph toward the rim. It ends in some wild shots and turnovers. He is much better when he is being deliberate with his moves and fakes and using his step back in the lane. Williams has similar issues. They were defending those attacks very well and we just kept going right into the teeth of the defense.

Once again, I think our decision making at times is suspect.

Nice to see Scott have a good game. For the most part he played a lot smarter and part of me was hoping he would have taken a couple more 3's since he was feeling comfortable last night and we were not getting off good shots for much of the game.

Brooks in some games doesn't even seem to be aware of what it means to be a little cautious with his fouls. Here are some of his games.

5 fouls in 13 minutes
5 fouls in 11 minutes
5 in 20
5 in 24

4 in 9
4 in 14
4 in 19
4 in 20
4 in 20
4 in 23
4 in 23

We need him on the boards and rim protection. Most of these games he has either fouled out or we had to sit him on the bench for too much of the game. He needs to figure out a way to stay on the court 25 minutes plus.

Jarron is an amazing talent, but he needs to lose the little pouty attitude that he has. His body language is just awful. Taco should of had a flagrant, I also love how he complains about every call he doesn't get but then wants to act like a tough guy and puff his chest out when he blocks a shot, congrats dude you're 7'6. He also spends 8+ seconds just camping in the lane and not once was called for 3 seconds or the 5 steps he would take when he got the ball under the basket. I am not even going to say anything about the officiating because it spoke for itself. They also stormed the court when we were only ranked 5 spots apart and they were the favorite, extremely embarrassing on there part.

On to Houston.... Go Cats
