Well, you have to win your home games if you want to avoid Thursday. We didn't win, and we are not going to avoid Thursday.

Should have won this game in regulation, that was inexcusable clock management.
That being said, the refs cost us at least 4 points on consecutive possessions in OT. Newton took a textbook charge that was called a block, and the next possession Shamar gets called for a "cylinder" foul when an opponent elbowed him in the face. That should have been a Flagrant 1 foul on Liberty-Freeman, so 2 UE FTs and UE possession.

Can someone explain to me why everyone wants this man as head coach if WM is gone? He is the interim head coach. He is the only assistant coach with any head coaching experience. Not sure you have any other choice at the moment. I'm curious who you would name as the interim head coach. I don't think we're talking about a new coach at this moment, but after the season. If UE is a Thursday team you'd have to expect a coaching search outside of who's on the bench at season's end.

No question this a Thursday team!

I only caught the last 3 minutes of the game and the overtime period. John Hall looks lost out there.

That was ours to win. Always play to win. Taking the air out of the ball is ridiculous.

Remember when we thought we’d be ranked after UK? Pepperidge Farms remembers 😂.
In all seriousness, I think this season is nothing more than the last 20.. I am super bummed as like you all I really thought we’d turn a corner this year. It hurts so so bad the state of this program over the last 20 years.. So much that my stomach turns as I write this..

With exception of the turnovers we pretty much played a good game and still came up short.

SIU beat the Trees tonight 67-55, so I am thinking a last place finish again this year.

Eh. There's a very solid chance that after tonight, the Valley will have 1 2-0 team, 1 0-2 team, and 8 1-1 teams. We sure look like a Thursday team, but its far from decided yet

My only question is who decided with 5 seconds in OT to throw the ball in to Riley so he could jog dribble the ball to the half court to call a TO. That move wasted half the remaining time. Cannot win at this point. In my opinion not a very smart coaching move. Probably would have lost anyway but we had no chance.
