No time to relax. We need to cut off their oxygen in the second half.
Dingle with 21 so far.

Just the 1st half - but WOW.
Would like to not relive that awful day when Princeton charged back from a huge 1st half deficit. I was in Buenos Aires and it was back when the internet was not was it is today. My only source of info was occasional flashing results on the international version of ESPN which was pretty primitive and limited back then. What a shock to the senses when the final score flashed across the screen.

Terrible call on the goaltend. After six replays did not look like the ball hit the glass.
And can the refs maybe call a foul on Princeton now and then?

Looked like he hit the glass after the ball had skidded off the far side of the rim.

There is no way this game should have gone to overtime.

Ugly end to the half. We need to get the momentum back.

Spinoso has got to learn how to shoot foul shots.

Add it to the list. Let’s keep celebrating the coach though! The worst end of game possessions you can imagine. Every time. It’s what he does. Dingle obviously has little left but how do you decide to go iso with Max and end the biggest possession of the year with Lucas one on one vs Tosan? Just an absolute disgrace.
And we officially have a new leader in the clubhouse of awful officials. He’s far worse than Tim Kelly. Guy got us a few weeks ago and boy did he get us again. Almost every time it was him. He singlehandedly changed that game.
Back to the coach. Anyone notice how it was freshman who did it for Princeton? Imagine that. Just a horrific loss.

We flat out coughed up a hairball. The diversified offense that sustained us during the winning streak disappeared.
Defensively, we looked better when Princeton wasn't making shots. We couldn't stop them when it counted.
While the officiating was clearly garbage, it was only a contributing factor this afternoon.

Oh no doubt. This was on them. A pure choke job. 22-5. I’m speechless.

You just described my experience. I had to step away for second half while at home with a fussy one year old, and was alerted via Fox Sports app that we found a way to lose after a 17 point half time lead. What the hell happened? No way I’m wasting my limited time on earth watching the rest of the game back. Last win against Princeton was before my 5 year old was born. No other words besides “exhausting”.

Like Mike, I watched the first half and then had to step away for family obligations.
No idea what happened, but just looking at the box, I wonder if our first half success left us in a fool’s gold situation where we just thought Jordan could/would put everything in the basket. In essence, he played so well in the first half that we got away from the more diversified offense we need to win. Just a guess.
We did show we can take it to them, though (which is different from the other losses in recent years).

Be glad. It was a slow motion train wreck. Bad turnovers. Bad shot selection. Bad calls. It was all bad. One more shot to exorcize those demons I guess…

You mean because we had a 66-58 lead after George Smith's layup with 4:16 left in regulation, and could not hit another field goal the rest of the game (over 9 minutes), including the 5-minute overtime? We did not have one player who could hit a field goal the rest of the way. Not one.
I don't care who's coaching this team. John Wooden at his best couldn't win when his team could not make a shot. That's how UCLA's 88-game winning streak ended, when it led Notre Dame by 11 with under 3 1/2 minutes to go and never scored again. Sh*t happens...

The one point they needed in regulation was the foul shot missed by Clark, our ~90% foul shooter, or one of the three foul shots missed by Spinoso.
