Don't disagree at all. Unfortunately the only way that will happen is losses.

edit: Which are going to come and I have no issue with that, as this team is a tourny team no matter what happens from here out...

Is that a gut punch win? I'm still such in shock, I can't even celebrate.

I know that I mostly lurk, so... But do you think you guys could STFU with the all is lost, the game is over, we aren't ranked any more, and we should disband he program BS, at least until the game is over?

Also, it is not necessarily a block just because Cady's upper body is moving - his feet were set and his position was established a full dribble before the GM player went up for the shot. Like all block/charge calls, it was at least arguable - if you are saying there is no chance that was a charge, you don't know what you are talking about. 75/25 that was a charge. And we definitely do not want our best big man who has 4 fouls going up in the air to contest a layup when the refs are calling tickey-tack fouls. He might as well just go sit on the bench because he almost certainly would have fouled out.

That game should have never been that close. That was a charge against gm not a block against cady. We are the bigger more physical team and we have 2 guys foul out. ?? The refs suck.. Same grey hair ref that screwed us on the no call vs fsu on cadys dunk..

And the entire frontcourt fouled out. I just don't know.

Somebody post a link to the last ten minutes so I can show the wife why I watch the live feed instead of American Idol.

One of the best finishes ever and Ive been watching since the days I had classes with Pitino and Skinner

Thanks

DK deserves a ton of credit for managing the end of game situations and substitutions.

This team is starting to remind me of the early/mid 90s teams. Even if they are behind and the game is winding down, you have a feeling they're going to find a way to win it.

game ball goes to chaz, obviously

folks on the message board who said we would be fine without Chaz are probaby regretting that statement.

just another chaz performance.. taking it to the rack repeatedly down the stretch rather than settling for a 3 was the most intelligent thing we did all game (excluding trey's 3 with 45 seconds left because that was a nicely designed play with a good look).

Can it get more fun than this? This is excruciating but unbelievable awesome at the same time.

we may be one of the dumbest teams in america and one of the most perplexing, but we have no quit.... truly refuse to lose.... and lucky as mf&ckers.

complete meltdown by George Mason, Hewitt is very unimpressive.

He's an awful ref who I'm not sure if he's not the college version of Donaghy. I've never seen him be remotely competant and calls ghost calls at least 5 times a game.

Dana o'neill from ESPN tweeted it best. "Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're good. Umass is both this year."
