This game is not good for my blood pressure.
But the flagrant on Humphrey wasn't particularly egregious.
And can't John Thompson III learn the name of our starters at the very least? Keeps adding an "s" on Humphrey...

Not as bad as Ravelling saying Bevin Knight over and over....

Congrats to the boys on a hard-fought season; OK State was a tournament-caliber team that got snubbed. Many ups and downs, but the fact is Haase brought the team into the postseason in just his second year. From 6-12 to 11-7 in-conference is nothing to sneeze at. I'm cautiously optimistic for the future - maybe one day we'll get back to having enough wins to get butts in Maples seats.

It was a fun ride while it lasted, and kudos to all the players, coaches, and staff. Much appreciated.

It was a good ride, with many rough patches but overall, more enjoyable and certainly more encouraging for the first time in many years, for me at least. Yes, a big thanks to all in the program.

But the flagrant on Humphrey wasn't particularly egregious.

He never made a play for the ball, just brought his arm down across the driving player's arms to prevent him from going up. Right call was made.

Coming from an outsider (a Rice Owl lucky to be married to a Stanford alum), but that broadcasting was utterly disgraceful.

I lost count of how many times they called Stanford the Cardinals. Seriously? And I don't know who the one announcer was, but he could have been doing the Ok St play-by-play.

I'm pretty disgusted.

Despite the ending, I'm pleased with the season.  I saw substantial improvement in many players over the course of the season, and the future looks bright.  A theoretical starting lineup of Travis (fingers crossed he's coming back), Davis, Okpala, Da Silva, and maybe Ryan (or Sharma?) will be formidable.  Better things to come.

My point wasn't that it wasn't the right call, but that it wasn't so horrible. I've seen worse. Subjective, of course, but one could argue it was a "basketball move." Moot point, naturally.

A couple of guys need to catch better. Plus I hate the zone.

Our NIT record in the new millennium:

9-0 at home (I spent two years in the Sixth Man section, which concluded with the Virginia game in 2006)
0-3 on the road
4-0 in NYC

Apparently the Utes decided to dine in our humble suburban town tonight just to remind me that they should have been in Palo Alto. Walking home from the train station, I went past a large idling bus with "Utah Men's Basketball" sign in the window. Although the local tap room seemed to be unusually busy for a Tuesday night, I'm sure they must have been at the Italian place across the street.

#4 W. Kentucky now up 78-73 with under 4 minutes to go at #2 Oklahoma St.
Had we snuck by them, might we have been hosting at Maples right now? Oh well, the point is moot. C'est la vie.

The Utes knocked off St. Mary’s last night. Maybe Bennett will get the message that Tara understands. Toughen your team early.
