We should’ve won today

Bad loss. Fundamentals matter. You need to take advantage of these chances and we did not.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Worst FT shooting team ever? Tragic way to lose.

Feel the same

Falls on coaching

Syracuse falls 78-74 to Houston, Refs, and free throws

Would have won handily if they were even decent from the stripe.

Control the controllables or die at this level.

Jim would draw up a final play

 

[blust2i3d4]

It is a foul. We should have won. But they want Houston to be in the final four of this event.

 

[LAorange44]

Not high level basketball by any means. But a real missed opportunity

 

[kuethstheman]

Syracuse falls 78-74 to Houston, Refs, and free throws

And some bone-headed plays.

**Could have** won.

No one *should* win when you shoot free throws like a crippled hippopotamus.

Why did we foul at the end?! We were down two, 4-6 seconds would've been left if we got a stop and we could've ran down and scored. But Instead we foul their best FT shooter?! Like What

Really? Players at this level should know how shoot FTs. Team defended well. Moved the ball against the best D in college basketball. Looked pretty well coached to me.

 

[Orangefan1]

They played their hearts out today congrats to coach Autry who now has the team that will be in March

 

[Hopkins16]

We competed at a high level. Free throws and 3 point shooting needs to improve, and Red needs better late game coaching. But, this game showed that we are right there with the best of them.

You can give Red Autry Carmelo’s money and he’ll still coach to a loss.

The Alexandria City High School coach could have coached us to a win tonight.

 

[Teddy19]

Willing to be told I’m wrong, but what the heck—no Kiyan end of game and whole OT?

alternatively, there’s no way that these kids don’t know how to shoot free throws, so whatever Red is telling them to do is clearly wrong.

No, it does not. Some very horrible three point shooting and at least three and probably four bad calls against SU and only one horrible call went our way. The good news is Syracuse has a chance to win alot of games. Bad news, who knows if Donnie can play again. We need a hypnotist for free throw shooting. I am sure in the past we had a night like this but in over 50 years I do not remember it.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Sharp is a go to player. We really don’t have one.

 

[Gotothehole]

We win this going away if had our big dog. We will make some noise

This.

They have to figure it out and get to at least an average capability from the stripe...

You can't win tough games shooting from the line as bad as we do currently.

Be prepared to not see said dog again this season.

There was no timeouts dumbassess. Shouldnt have to even respond. We have a timeout for the last play if we win the challenge that was clear as it gets
