They can’t shoot worth a piss today. They are playing fine and getting good looks but ice cold.Close game. Tried to sign up for ESPN+ but is said that my password was wrong. Which it isn't. Hopefully the Cougars put the game away in the second half.
Geezus. Choke job. C'mon Cougs.Yeah, look rather disinterested
Real disappointing......Could not handle their quickness the entire game. In the 3rd when they went on the run of 3s completed with a 3 that bounced high off the rim twice, then the top of the backboard twice, and dropped...I pretty much seemed like it was obviously their day.
It's tough to learn how to get over the hump in the Tournament. We just have to keep grinding and hopefully get a better draw.
Oops, didn’t see Observer’s post. Sorry Observer.I think part of it was winning the Pac 12 tourney...and if you told me we can win the Pac 12 tourney but lose the 1st round of the tournament, is take it.
As I said before, Wallach and Teder were the only ones who showed up
Gulf Coast is a well coached team. He has the 3rd highest winning percentage of active coaches....and it shows.
As Observer observed, that 3 ball that went off the roof, off the top of the backboard etc and in was the sign it wasn't our night.
Great season.
It doesn’t help when they are playing at 9 am their time. That explains a lower energy . I wonder when they traveled .Oops, didn’t see Observer’s post. Sorry Observer.
We missed many shots we can make. Bella couldn’t get into the flow until very late. Shots that were dropping for her in Pac 12 weren’t today. CL-W 13 under her average.
The Tournament is a different animal. It’s easy to lose composure when things aren’t going your way and it starts to spiral. Would have really liked a shot at ‘Nova.
A better draw isn't going to help much when you play like they did today. General impression is they were a step slow all game, and they missed a lot of close shots that they should, and normally do, make. GC was was driving past the WSU defender all the way to the hoop all day, including 5-6 times that they took it all the way from their defensive end of the floor to the hoop for a layup without getting decent pressure to stop the ball from WSU. No excuse for that, and I think they were sometimes lazy getting back and getting set on D.Could not handle their quickness the entire game.

Great season, shitty draw and not their night. FGC is not a 12 seed. They couldn’t shoot a lock for some reason tonight. Shits they usually nail clanking. Two best olayeees in foul trouble all night. Tough one. Still proud of this team.I think part of it was winning the Pac 12 tourney...and if you told me we can win the Pac 12 tourney but lose the 1st round of the tournament, is take it.

A step slow is correct . I think playing at 9 am their bio time will cause that .A better draw isn't going to help much when you play like they did today.

Anybody else look at a shot chart for the game? GC had 4 3 pointers, and EVERY other bucket was a frikken layup! Damn! Never seen anything like that.
Here is the stat that I think really tells the tale-GC had 7 steals and WSU had 0. Are you kidding me? Go go an entire game and cannot steal the ball even one single time? Something wrong with that stat, and it shows you why they got their but kicked in the second half.
VERY disappointing.......
Wasn't it 11:30 am PDT?A step slow is correct . I think playing at 9 am their bio time will cause that .
Maybe tomorrow in New Zealand time 9AMWasn't it 11:30 am PDT?
Yes.Wasn't it 11:30 am PDT?
I believe that they left on Wednesday. Plenty of time to acclimate...It doesn’t help when they are playing at 9 am their time. That explains a lower energy . I wonder when they traveled .
