Why didn't Skinn call a timeout and set up a play???!!

Missed the free throw so couldn’t

Not calling a timeout??? For that reason alone . Skinn should not be COY..

As stated above no possession no ability to call timeout

 

[FlPatriot]

NIT here we come

We’ve been in the desert for so long the NIT is welcome.

This really really hurts. Maybe though we’ll grow from this like the women did from last year.

For sure. But to come this close and to lose to vcu yet again sucks.

We got an open 3 by Anderson....stfu

Great look at the end. Our guys played with great intensity. But vcu suffocated Haynes inside. So damn close to the dance. Our guys must be so disappointed. They should be very proud of their season.

 

[Junkees9]

That NewPatriot comment about the timeout is totally asinine. The Anderson shot was wide open.

 

[FreeGunston12]

Proud of our guys. Proud of you guys. That was a hell of an effort and atmosphere. Nothing left on the court, nothing left in the stands.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

I’m not one to blame refs but the “physicality” allowance was extremely one sided. Also, no idea how Clark didn’t get a T when he shoved one of our guys from behind in that scrum.

Could not agree more. They battled their asses off and the crowd was old school great

 

[Mason2006Patriot]

Those refs were so bad

 

[GMU79]

Just looked in. Sorry me not watching mojo didn't work today.
Yeah, losing stinks. And especially to vcu.
But it was a great season for us, and hopefully we can make a nice run in the NIT.

 

[Patriot Lawdog]

Those refs were so bad

27 FTs attempted even though they never got the ball in the paint… Assanine.

There were several times in this game when it could’ve gotten out of hand, but our players never stopped fighting like they have all year. It was a great college basketball game on national TV that showcased how good the A10 really is.

Nobody can convince me that we’re not worthy of being in the NCAA tournament, but the reality is we will get hosed because of the bullshit NET ranking system that favors the top conferences.

Emmanual Kanga 2025 commit was at the game today per his Instagram story

 

[GreenLantern]

One step at a time. A new banner would be nice and something to build upon for next year.

I'm not unhappy for NIT. it's our first post season in quite a while and will root just as hard

Yep!!

 

[DRK331]

Hopefully vcu loses their one and only game of the NCAA tournament

I agree but I also think those two boneheaded early season loses killed us. If we had beaten CMU and ECU I bet we are a last 4 in team.
