I'm still bugged about that flashing sign. I'm sure there is some technicality, but come on. It wasn't flashing things while they were shooting that way.

I didn't get to watch but another lead blown is very upsetting. So frustrating.

I'd love to know what Porter is going to say in post game. I'm guessing there is some excuse for this travesty.

There is a web site that has live RPI numbers. Our RPI before the game: 139. Our RPI now: 264. We literally fell 125 places in the RPI becuase of this loss.

It's impossible for me to pinpoint what's going on in these situations. I always suspect it's going conservative, but that certainly was not the case; there were a lot of turnovers on very risky plays. It wasn't just offense or defense. It was every phase of the game. That suggests a problem of confidence that just compounds itself. Maybe you can blame Porter's game management, but I think it comes down to mental toughness and preparation. We were all thinking, "here we go again". Fans can do that; players can't.

Had better not hear the word youth used in any form in post game comments.

And who is responsible for preparing the players and helping them build mental toughness?

This all comes down to Porter. As JCT said, losing one of these games in a year is bad. We've lost 3 in the past 11 days.

Sorry, but it's the coach.

I say again--We cannot hit freebies over and over--

When you blow huge leads--17 points is huge-- over and over, there is a problem BIG TIME--

If ever there was a time for the killer instinct to come out, this was it !! COACH ???

I don't disagree with that. But it looks like attitude, not technical stuff.

We blew a 19 point second half lead to Tulane.

We blew a 17 point second half lead to Portland State.

So we are improving.

If this trend continues, come conference play our blown second half leads will be in the single digits!
