Can’t turn it on down 14 with 15 minutes to go in the game.

This was a bad loss. Sugar coat nmsu all you want, we can't lose this game after already losing to la tech and playing like crap the other night. I'm not giving up on this team, but is a bad loss and likely to sting on selection day
This is on Howland. He’s got to get this team ready to play. His lack of motivation just cost us an NCAA bid. This is a bad loss.
Really bad loss. Really bad.
Color announcer said it best. Give this effort the entire game and you win. Same shit, different season.
Yep. We are now playing for the NIT.Quote:

Nick W cost us this game as well. His 5 fouls were dumb as shit.
This team does not deserve packed house games. They give 1/2 assed effort so they deserve 1/2 packed at the HUMP.
Woof that was horrible.
When is baseball!?!?
what was he thinking on that moving screen?!Quote:

Yep, we just lost to a program that hadn't beaten an SEC team in 25 years and I don't think our players really care. Why should we?Quote:

I think we will be in the 100s in the NET after that shit show of a game. And ****ing Ole Miss hired a former Bulldog to coach their program that actually still has fire left. Well, how many seasons do we give Howland? To me he’s much worse then Moorhead. Howland has a ton of talent on this team. A ton. Much more then our football team does.
We get it together and make a deep run in the NIT***
Was just thinking this myself. Getting to .500 in sec play is going to be a challenge.Quote:

Because they want us to show up and worship them despite pitiful effort and performances on their part?Quote:

Let?s add in that South Carolina just upset Virginia. We have a long season ahead.
I dunno but he led the come back and once he fouled out we were screwed. It’s actually hard for a guard to foul out. He actually had two charges and a moving screen so only 2 of his fouls were defensive.Quote:

He?s not nearly as good of a coach as Howland. I?ve been reprimanded on here for saying that. No excuse to hire a recruiter again after Stansbury. Anyone who watched UCLA the last few years would?ve known this was a bad hire. Regardless of what people say, Kermit is a much better coach than Howland not counting recruitingQuote:

Right now I'm not even sure we are a tourney team at all.Quote:

Just absolute shit that we didn’t go in that direction and decided to crater our program with the Rick Ray experience.Quote:

I want the ball in the hands of Carter, Perry, or Nick W (who disqualified himself way before then). This team has no leadership either. Very disappointing. Where was Carter at at winning time. Why was Stewart bringing the ball down the court? Just plain stupid.Quote:

We pass it around until about 5 seconds left and jack it up. That's our offenseQuote:

We should go after that NMSU coach imo. He has done more with less then any coach I have ever seen. His team last year was 30-5 and had two 28 win teams and two 23 win teams before that. His teams improve throughout the year. Ours don?t.Quote:
