NIT 2024: Next in a Long Line of Basketball Disappointments

[PhDeac]

This is a tired joke. None of the posters here believe that losing games is a “path” to winning, those posters just held out hope that we had enough talent to win enough important games later in the season to make the tournament such that those earlier losses would be less relevant. It didn’t happen, but there’s no point in shaming those posters for having hope.

That's part of it. But those posters were also mocking fans who were concerned about losing winnable games.

No matter who does what on our team today, it’s extremely difficult to win against an opponent that shoots 14/26 from 3.

But that’s half the teams we play. Whose fault is that?

Yea this past month has not been great for my enthusiasm for next year.

I’m just going to say that our season is on the line with a minute left and Clark is in. I thought he must be literally incapable of dribbling until this game. How are we making personnel decisions?

Defense for offense sub. Probably could have used those a few more times this year.

 

[liveanddiedeac]

Isn’t Georgia also missing like 2 of their top 5-6 players?

Yeah, but it sounds better when we act like it was just us missing players.

Up until now we haven’t used him for anything! Today we’re subbing for him. It makes zero sense.

Georgia ML was a no brainer once Sallis was ruled out. And Georgia sucks.

Fuck this. Forbes Out.

PFred blocked then bricks a shot. Wow

UGA has hit 11 more threes in only 6 more attempts.

clark stinks, just like marsh, keller and mmm. the fact those guys have had to play is a big part of our problem.

We couldn't even hit the broadside of a barn this afternoon

Yeah. But any enthusiasm relies heavily on players we don't even know yet.

lol exactly. “No, no—you don’t get it. We didn’t lose or do anything wrong. We just got really unlucky each of those [checks notes] 13 times!”

 

[warak]

Good grief, PFred is so fucking cold. Poor kid. I still think he will be a player for us.

Bizarre after game Clark had earlier in season where he played great D to lead a comeback that doesn’t see court all year until now. Just mind boggling he didn’t get more PT and who knows what he could have contributed offensively if ever able to build his confidence up. poor personnel mgmt for certain.

I’m not sure that’s true. He seemed serviceable and he had zero experience.

 

[Henry Chinaski]

At least duke looks like shit too

 

[Mt. Olive]

Does this mean that Wake will be a 4 seed next year and get Georgia in the first round?

I feel like people are mostly mocking a certain reporter more so than any posters here. Could be wrong.
