    How many times did Brown do what we just saw??? I want JJ to succeed, I don't want him to grab the Les Miles moniker of "Any team has a chance in the last 5 minutes".

    I don't agree with anyone here blaming the coaches! They recruited the players, put the players in a position to win and unlike Les Miles they did make some moves that were able to get a couple of team QB's at the point guard position. Its not the coaches fault they missed so many free throws tonight and this year. The team just choked tonight, no other way to describe the last 3 minutes or so. I guess bad coaches were responsible for the team playing so well the first half and winning at West Virginia. Just an inconsistent team, I don't think I have ever seen one quite like this one though!

    coaching often wins games late. or loses them. youve watched them enough this year to know these collapses happen far too often. but i agree. it was simply failure to execute under pressure again.

    lack of playing time as a team is the root of a lot of it. jones didnt seem to blow this one with any poor decisions that i saw. we have a lot of talented individuals just not an actual team.

    Yeah, people are just pissed and looking to blame right after the game. M&M missed so many layups, and obviously, no one could hit FTs. The inconsistencies were all season long, and I think that reflects youngness, personally. If M&M stay, they will bring these experiences and build on them, but, in this day and age, it's move on to the NBA ASAP.

    Make just one basket in the last 10 minutes or just two of those missed free throws and they win. I am sick

    Hard to argue with this as usual.
