Damn. Jacks should’ve won that. Too many mental mistakes including the last 10 seconds.

Mors late on the game winning 3.

Stupid foul on Mors and terrible offensive set at the end.

Jacks lost track of the clock and lose. 73-72.

Not the first time this year Mors has had an insanely dumb foul showing way too aggressively, clumsily on a screen. Pretty inexcusable in that moment.

That was dumb but so were so many other countless things tonight by lots of players so it wasn’t just that. Mors had some great plays at other times this game. Our coaching staff crumbled tonight down the stretch. We may be young but we are too talented to lose that game.

It sucks that we lost, but that was an entertaining game. Could this years team beat last years team?

This team has a lot of growing up to do. Just not playing smart basketball.

Fair assessment

Jeez, a few of you need to step back from the ledge.

Playing at the (possibly) most talented team in the league, on their court, with 5 new starters, we lost by 1.

Last year, we beat them there on a last second shot by Zeke Mayo.

This team is fine. Hendo and crew are doing a fantastic job.

The only thing wrong with the last possession was the execution. Kalen had a clumsy pass to Oscar, and then kind of lost the ball on the return.

And the officials were absolutely atrocious. They fouled Oscar nearly every time he got the ball (if you count the contact we have on them as fouls). And that offensive foul against Oscar with about a minute left was absolute garbage.

Our team is fine. We're going to be good guys. There will be a few bumps along the way.

The team had a decent game in St Paul. I watched the replay this morning and I am still questioning the 4 calls on Cluff. The refs allowed the Tommies to grab Cluff continuously. The Jackrabbits shot 5-10 free throws in the 2nd half. The Jackrabbits had 13 turnovers compared to the Tommies 4. This was a winnable game on the road. The game in Omaha will not be any easier.

I would quibble with St. Thomas having the most talented team in the league--our group of freshmen for the most part more than held their own with the Tommies, coming within a second of beating them on their home floor.

And yes, the Tommies were exceptionally grabby and aggressive (although had the Jacks wanted to be, they could easily have been by far the more physical team, IMHO). In general, the more aggressive team gets the calls from the refs. Playing aggressive but controlled is one of those things that freshmen have to re-learn for the college game.

I think we'll be fine going forward.

Garry and Sayler scored almost every time they took it to the basket. Should have done it a lot more.
