I think they tried their best. Hopefully, it will show in the future games.

The flagrant foul was a crap call. The offensive on Wilson when we had a chance to take the lead at the end of regulation was a killer as was the one on Viral. Both were correct though. We are still undisciplined at critical moments.

It was definitely a foul. And a really dumb one too.

It was definitely a foul. Once CV lost the dribble, he (rightly) panicked and was just trying to give himself room. And we consistently get called for more fouls than our opponents for good reason. We commit way too many garbage fouls 25 feet from the basket, and then need to give some up inside because we're smaller than everyone we play. We can't do anything about the latter. The former we have to figure out.

On the other hand, Gilbert's tying basket at the end of regulation was without any question whatsoever an "and 1."

I’m sickened that we are 1-3 in the AAC. Good effort and improvement but still 1-3 in a bad conference.

If you're sickened this year, you must have spent last season in intensive care.

Agreed. The Gilbert foil at half court was particularly bad.
