Well this sucks.
Refs were awful, announcers were awful. All in all, a S****ty game. Happy we led. Refs really screwed up a great game.

Why did Alisas only play 15 minutes?
Alisas had the game of his life. Didn't play in crunch time.
Patrick had an abysmal game, played it all.
Almost the only time all year I've disagreed with the coach.

Good game. Turnovers and cold at the end. Should have won this one by 10.

Narit went cold at a bad time. Nerves, maybe.
I agree with this. Gedi was owning the paint. Should have played more.
Remember, Tulsa finished second in the American and won 25 games. We've gone from the train wreck of the 24-25 season to ultra competitive against top tier talent outside the power 3. That's quite a turnaround. It was an enjoyable season and look forward to November. Axe 'em!
Colonel was a beast in his final game. Keon played fabulous. Christmas was everywhere. Three tough guys to replace from a heart standpoint.
Keon missing those two free throws killed us. Pressed too hard after that! Oh well, a GREAT year! GO JACKS!!!
Young team for us still. Lots of potential. Will need two good PGs in the off-season. But I like where we stand as a whole. Alias had a game of his life and can keep being a Sengun-type character for us; we will be cruising inside and outside.

Our biggest thing, is that we need to recruit some height
Although I stand by my criticism of the lopsided FT situation, SFA did have the 6:35 at the end of the 2nd half without a FG. Hard to beat anyone with that stat. Couple of baskets in that frame could have been difference makers.
Overall a fine effort against a good Tulsa team. Definitely bounced back from the lackluster showing at the SLC tourney.
Some key figures to replace though. Have to see what the portal might bring but also the freshman that will be coming in.

That can contribute on offense.
Going to greatly miss Keon, Chrishawn, Ahamed, and Gerald. What great contributions they've made to right the ship and get us back to where we belong. Thanks for a great ride! I wish them well wherever life takes them!

I feel the same way.. We fought the whole game and competed now these Srs set the bar and we gotta get to the dance next year.. I like our chances.. Thank you Seniors..
I so appreciate the time and effort this team invested. Exceeded all expectations. Wish the seniors well. They are winners and will excel in whatever they do. Went from not making the Southland tournament to hanging a banner! Coaching staff knocked it out of the park! Can't wait to see what's coming next!
What a great year the Lumberjack's had. After last year I had no idea what to expect this year. Future looks bright with the team that is coming back. Coach B needs to find a way to keep this core together. Cam, Gedi, Lateef and Narit. This is a strong 4. Add in a bunch of promising kids on the bench and the commits coming in this will be a great team next year. Hopefully Coach can find a true big. Gedi looked great last night. Best of luck to all the seniors. What a great season!

Don't want anyone to tell me that this game was fairly called. Tulsa with 3 or 4 times the free throws.Getting all close calls
I'm not at all the type to blame officiating, but this game seemed awfully lopsided to me.
Lot to digest from last night. I still think the unbelievable continuation call on the foul by Narit that got Coach so worked up was a real turning spot. I've been waiting for the game to be on replay, but they haven't put it up.
My recollection in the moment was that Narit had grabbed the ball and an arm and was holding it when the ref blew the whistle. He looked up let go and the guy scored the bucket. They said it counted. Looked like a clear "on the floor" foul because the guy hadn't started going up until after Narit let go.
Not disputing the outcome but that was a free two points in a game that went to overtime.

It was a huge call and gave Tulsa the momentum. The 37-16 foul shooting discrepancy stands out as well, given the fact Tulsa was physical on defense and clutching and grabbing on high balls screens. We got a couple of calls as well but not nearly as many as Tulsa.

There were plenty of moments when Coach should be unhappy. Even the Phantom extra FT. We got a whistle, but why? Tulsa fans on Reddit were unhappy about my remarks, they called it their way of play, but there were plenty of times when there should have been a foul on them when we drove the Baseline with Keon or any of our players.
I hope there is an end-of-year press conference. Do enjoy Coach talks about the game and the players. Maybe even call out some of the dumb s*** that happened last night.

This is key. What a turnaround. Coach B has a plan.
We have something if we can grab a big or two
