My middle school kids box out the shooter on a foul shot. Just a meltdown on all levels.

I remember my 7th-grade coach drilling us in practice to block out the free throw shooter. Two 5th-year seniors fail to do that in a pretty important juncture of the game.

Might be where the magic runs out. No timeouts the rest of the way.

They're just more talented than us. Better top of the roster talent.

Gonna need to make threes in the final 5 minutes to get back in it.

You know who needs more minutes in the 2nd half? Wiz. Yes I said it.

I'm sick of watching AJ "I'm 6'8 but play 5'10" Clayton get worked.

Clayton entering game with 9:54 on the clock. He's has to stay on the floor the rest of the game.
Why exactly? Wiz has played really well and provides size against Freeman that Clayton doesn't. If AJ isn't hitting 3s he's not doing much against a team with good bigs like this.
A pretty good sample size is why (name a player in recent Bobcat basketball history to receive as much criticism as Wiz). Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting Clayton to disappear tonight.

Clayton cannot chuck like that, especially when they got two guys on the floor with four fouls. Go at them. We're not winning this with jumpers.

Look, Akron is exposing what we all know. We are too small to rebound and too small to finish consistently in the lane. We’ve played with heart, but I think we’re done.

Don’t we all wish we had 6foot 8 and 6 foot 9 guys that can play like their two big guys play

He has been disappointing on the offensive end in Cleveland.

We may lose this by 15.

Blow this crap up. Great job by Boals getting an awful team to make it this far, but we need about 4 new impact players next year. Preferably someone over 6'0 thanks. This isn't the Mid State League.

Agree, Casper. In fact, I was surprised Akron waited until the second half before feeding Ali Ali Ali the ball with a 6-footer guarding him.

Cornish hurt? Or just a DNP - Coach's decision?

Akron's length is such a problem for us, it's surprising that our only bench wing with any length isn't seeing the floor at all.

This. With no timeouts, do this the rest of the way.. just attack them.

Hitting three-point shots is gonna be the difference in this game. I will really still not understand why we continue to drive into the lane rather than shoot the three once in a while.

Thank you. I guess we are still in it

I don't like to say this sort of thing, but the referees should be ashamed for the performance they're putting in today. This is not acceptable.
von sossan certainly verifies his presence.
never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Seriously why do we go into the lane.

You have to dish it out some.

Just attack them… They will trade three for two every time the rest of the game.

I recall Freeman missed one. Unfortunately, we didn't block him out.
