    Jalen's the one that got us back in the game.

    No?

    The one salvageable thing from this game is that we kept pushing hard (against a very bad team) and almost made a full comeback off of the backs of our young guys. I don’t think Dillon or Fred had good games, and I feel like that last play should’ve gone to either Jalen or Cam.

    It is what it is, I guess. We are too damn inconsistent

    No Cam and Amen are the ones who got us back into the game.

    Wouldn't have lost if he was playing tonight...11 rebounds combined between Brooks, Green and FVV. Jalen with 10 and Alpy with 11.

    Hell no. He did so many dumb things in 4th that cost them the game

    chuck bad shots and dumb drives that ended up being turnovers

    I actually thought Green played really good defense in the fourth, pretty much forced turnovers and bad shots from everyone he guarded. But the offense is ****ing horrendous, he is just panicking whenever he gets the ball in the clutch.

    No excuses for missing FTs - we came back with him on the bench that was right move … but I want his playmaking over Tate when it got within 5

    In disbelief when Tate passed up the corner 3 and took a step back 3. Still not over it

    Cam’s shooting and Amen’s defense were the catalyst, in my mind. I felt Jalen may have played one of his best defense/effort games this season, but he had a pretty crucial turnover and very bad luck with a great tie-up

    He wasn’t really panicking -refs are inconsistent game to game - last game he got foul calls this game he didn’t … when he starts getting a consistent whistle his game will even out

    Proud of the way we came back. Can’t have 3 quarters of garbage and expect to win.

    And Jalen - everytime they started to push lead back up he would hit a big shot or 2 in a row in the 3rd
