We have no NBA talent, can't beat them with flat out talent and definitely not beating them by out working them.

Trier was a deer in headlights today. He IS NOT NBA ready. Would be a big mistake for him to leave.

Unless Trier really hates school I hope this game makes him realize he's not ready for the NBA yet.

Key off-season in the history of this program. Do enough players have the maturity to look themselves in the mirror and not skulk away from this?

if we're planning on still coming back, we need to consider starting the fouling soon
It's long past time to bring this back to the court, let's do it with a small update:

I think its more of a key off-season for Miller if he truly wants to get to that next level. Fans will start to get restless, Altman can see he has a good opportunity to take over control. Miller needs JJ and TF..

We could have a whole new starting 5 next year anyway. Im less excited about Ristic getting any major minutes. Comanche has a lot of promise. Maybe this will wake the younger guys up and show them how it feels to get embarassed in the biggest game of their career.

I think PJC has been doing a fine job running the point. Just the O is a little lacking and not enough skilled players and Trier is learning a lesson.

Also, and this is the last time I'm gonna say this, watch the insults and the words you use. I use a super-light moderator touch, but when I've had to delete something and then almost delete another thing before it was edited.....you know you're crossing the line.

I will lock the thread if necessary, then you all can go and curse these players somewheres else.
Thanks for this! Pretty disgusting display of fandom in here.

Retool, get guys like TJ and RHJ that give every ounce of effirt. WSU is not more talented, just more competitive. They are fueled by there 2 guards who like Dillon Brooks at Oregon refuse to lose.

No one on our roster coming back is like that. I don't know about the incoming guys but someone needs to assume that role

Yeah with Ristic regressing the center position has me a little concerned. Comanche didn't play enough this year.

i still think we should be fouling, trying to extend the game.
i know wsu has come up empty the last two trips, and maybe it doesnt matter if we're not sinking shots, but still.

For as shitty as we played, all we had to do was hit FTs, especially the front ends, and we'd be down a couple at most.

useless to waste 12 seconds before fouling.

either foul quick, or don't foul and just concede

Even the announcers are noticing that starters are looking up at the scoreboard, saying "Oh, shit," and throwing what they can at this margin to make it respectable.

This final shouldn't look respectable. It should reflect the Arizona effort given, not have better optics.
the worst part is, from what i can tell from CSM's body language, he's been like "f it, you guys don't wanna listen to me, go ahead and play this thing your own way" since 17:00... and then they put an effort forth and narrow the gap
