These refs are just not calling offensive fouls. Looks like there have been some both ways in the last few minutes. I would say Zhuric is forcing things again but maybe just reacting to how the game is being called?

How are we not punishing them inside? 3 fouls by them in the second half. Need to be getting them worn down.

Would be nice if the crowd would get a little more engaged right about now. Too many people sitting on their hands. It's adrenaline time and this is when the home court advantage becomes really important as we need defensive stops and transition buckets

Not sure what to think after watching this one. It's obvious this team is REALLY dependent on what Chuck Harris brings to the table. Pretty sure they just played their way out of a top 4 finish and those 1st 2 round byes in the AAC Tourney. The only question now is whether Harris will miss more games and whether this team will play it's way out of even the NIT bid several of us thought this team deserves. They showed today and in Wichita they are capable of losing to anyone in this league and I would not be shocked to see them lose out the rest of the way if Harris doesn't return for the ECU game. It's just so disappointing watching them play so much one on one basketball when we don't have that kind of talent. UTSA out shot us across the board...FGs, 3 pointers and FTs on our home court. I'm left wondering whether this team will find that elusive 20th win before this season ends. Just a really disappointing day

I don’t know what is going to happen the next two games, but I tend to believe our season ended today. Getting a top 4 bye was a must to have any hope of tournament success, and they blew it today. 3rd straight loss, and we could easily lose the next two.

Nail on the head right there.
