Cougar Basketball

Uzan and Sharp go 1-11 from 3… that’s basically the game.

 

Class of '15 represent!

Uzan's 3s WERE NOT EVEN CLOSE. One of his worst game if not THE WORST game as a Coog.

 

yea, we lost. so what.
we've had fun here on clutchfans and on other social media. thats really whats important.

its not about banners, rings, or whatever. its all about the friendships we make on message boards. no one will remember this florida team in a week but we'll all treasure the time we've had here.

no losing here. we are all winners.

 

Inexcusable. Somehow, I had a dark feeling we wouldn't even get a shot off. I was saying on that last play “please don’t turn it over” and then it happened. It was excruciating.

 

Uzan was disappointing.

Sharp played valiantly but lost the ball back to back the last two possessions.

Oh well. It's not as bad as NC State where we were the favorite to win.

 

Yeah, we're looking for the 5th of all-time:

Lorenzo
Tonight
Webber
Brown
?

 

I knew we were ****ed when the PA team for the arena played that horrible **** torture of a song “Don’t stop believing”,I instantly got 05’ Killer Bs flop vibes….

 

I can't ever pull the trigger on games I really care about, but the O/U of 141 looked really good tonight.

I had UH beating FL in my bracket, would have won a couple hundred bucks, but whatever

I'm glad I have a few beers left to help me amp-down

 

YOU HEARD THAT TOO?

WhiskeyTango Gainesville Folk were singing along with the lights out and their lighters up?

 

I was 14 watching with my old man (RIP 2016) It’s still one of the single most shocking, bewildering and disappointing sports moment in my life.

I’m not sure what the word is (apathetic, jaded) I’m looking for but as soon as the game ended tonight I went about my business and proceeded to watch a line drive hit Abreu and avoid Pena allowing Seattle to come back and beat the Stros. Unlike my old man I’ve removed emotion once it’s over if we lose. Life’s better that way.

 

Man, I literally left the room. I couldn’t watch us lose like that.. then my wife yelled FŨcčķ … I just ran in and turned the TV off immediately. Lol. Here I am reading the damn comments on CF.

Fuçkin Stros look like dogshït. Let’s go Rockets! What this site is all about!

 

I lose a lot of bets. I guess it's superstition, but if I really care about a game I'll bet in favor of the team I want to lose in hopes that my bad mojo rubs off on them. Didn't work tonight, but I sure as hell tried.

 

Exactly -- plus Cryer going 6-18 FG, and Roberts' 3-13 was also a complete dumpster f***

Too many posters complaining about the goaltend hurt --- that's only 2 points that happened in the first half.

Credit to Florida's defense. However, we missed too many makeable shots.

 

Games I care about I just can't do. Either my brain, gut, or heart always makes me second guess

 

I have an early flight in baltimore tomorrow morning, so I did the unthinkable... I turned off my phone, drugged myself and went to bed thinking there was no way I would be able to sleep if I watched the game.

Somehow my body fought off the drugs and I woke up at 1AM, snuck downstairs, and just watched the replay.

Pain. Hurts of course, but when you have so much scar tissue it kinda becomes whatever.

At least this was not decided by the refs. Florida won it with their 2nd half defense, we lost it with dogshit shooting. GG.

I have no doubt that UH will be back in more final fours, but letting another championship slip away is just hard to swallow no matter how you slice it.

 

Very tough. They should have had that game.

 

I don't feel any different than then, but I did expect to win.

 

I’m not a basketball savant by any stretch of the imagination, but WTF was that Houston offense in the 2nd half? They had to work so hard for every single basket. And nobody could shoot it. It’s like all energy was spent on kicking Duke’s ass. Florida deserved to win as Houston got away with a lot of physicality in the 1st half, they just didn’t accept in the 2nd.

Thought the one of the inbound where Houston almost stole it where they called a foul, FTs for Florida, and took back the lead was a weak one though. Both went for the ball, Florida guy had it, so play on. And of course the big flop where Cryer gave a slight nudge was atrocious. Defense was great, cannot deny that. Not really choke city, but yeah, this was kind of a choke given those last 2-3 possessions. Couldn’t get anything easy.

 

Welcome to Houston...

 

This hurts...Great season. I hope Houston in any major sport win championship soon so I can feel better.
