I really hope Porter teaching Quise that lesson was worth a loss. At some point Porter needs to swallow his pride and principles and play the best 5 in crunch time to finish out basketball games.

Agree with everyone here, brutal loss.

What is Uguak doing in there at the end of the game? Terrible decision. Benching Kennedy all second half when he is one of our best pure scorers? Terrible decision. We have at least 3 losses by not adjusting at all in the second half, I’m putting this one on the coaching staff. Porter and his group need to do a better job adjusting in the second half and teaching defense. Very frustrating all around.

Honestly, Frank should have played more, too. Krutwig was out of gas.

We had so many brutally bad possessions late. Here are a few I remember:

- Shot clock at 8, nobody doing anything so Krutwig has to try to back a guy down from the three point line
- Late shot clock, Bruno doesn't take a shot and drives for nothing
- Last real play, Tate drives and kicks to the corner and Paxson doesn't shoot

I feel like we got so much fawning coverage for the "make the extra pass" and "pass up a good shot for a great shot" offense two years ago that it's gone completely to our heads. It's not working. We score when we make plays, not when we pass the ball around aimlessly.

And I couldn't help but notice we shot our usual 29% from three and allowed 50%. Broken record.

Sorry Gang, BUT this bunch is NOT ready for prime time !! NO PRIDE NO GUTS NADA QUO VADIS RAMBLERS ????

Totally agree. Uguak needs to come off the bench. 24 min and 4 pts? Quise 9 min? Yes a lesson had to be taught but not at the expense of letting the game get away.

Welch, Pipkins and PacSun need to get time for Uguak. Clemmons hopefully will come back soon so we'll have addt'l options

I don't think having him out there was ridiculous at all. Take out Bruno and Frank being 2-2 each, Aher has been the 3rd best FT shooter on the team this year thus far.

It wasn't a bank shot, so i'm going to change it to a "ridiculous shot counter" which now stands at 5. Brutal.

I blame FloSports for all of this!

This is the correct take.

Really agree with this, I liked how he moved out there. It's not like Colorado wasn't tired too, we have a pretty talented bench. USE IT.
