Rebounding killed us.
Mounce fouling out killed us.
Hunter poor shooting hurt.

Alabama took their first lead with 1:07 left.

I still see our POTENTIAL but we can’t win the big OOC game.

We will learn from this.

SEC Refs plan A:
Foul out Furman hottest and best player Mounce with BS tick tack fouls

SEC Refs plan B:
Don't call Bama for over the back giving them superior rebounding advantage and offensive putbacks

SEC Refs plan C:
Give Bama plenty more shots from the free throw line than Furman


They executed all three to perfection just like every damn time we go to an SEC gym

Unless we get a home and home series I say NEVER go to another SEC gym ever again, its a freaking joke

Refs were bad but hard blame the refs when you go the last 9:53 without 2 baskets until Hunters meaningless one with 2 seconds left. Don’t see how we learn from blowing the game.

DRealm has a point but it wasn't all on the Refs. Our defense let them get right to the rim the last 6-8 minutes. Our offensive execution down the stretch was poor. A's defense most of the second half was fierce.

Up 14 at Auburn last year, refs take over

Up 16 at Alabama this year, refs own the damn game

Good effort tonight. Bama was too strong down the stretch. They were the more aggressive team in the second half
Yep, aggressivly getting away with crap all night, meanwhile FU's best player has to sit the bench, bet we were a plus +25 or so with Mounce out on the court, refs took care of that, this game was a joke

Gotta play 40 min. Not 35 min. not 37 min.

By the way what was the problem with Bothwell the last 5 minutes? He fell down everytime he got the ball and tried to drive. Was the floor wet down on our end? He must have been exhausted.

Gawd. That was excruciating. The O execution when Mounce was on the bench was atrocious. THAT has to be a learning experience and something to fix.

Not much more to say, what a crappy way to lose a game. We blew it.

Now hope we can put this behind us and go win over a tough Winthrop team.
