Well.....legit question. Makes one wonder? How else could any player have made such a stupid pass. I would like to know what play was really designed (lol) during the timeout.

Horseshoes and hand grenades I know but the press release does make a good point how close ISU is from being in first place in the Valley:
December 18 (Bradley) – loss – tied at end of regulation
December 29 (Belmont) – win – tied at end of regulation
January 1 (Northern Iowa) – loss – within three points with 2:17 left
January 4 (Drake) – loss by two
January 10 (Evansville) – loss by three
January 17 (Murray State – loss by four – within two with :19 left
January 21 (Bradley) – loss – within three with :17 left
January 27 (UIC) – loss by two

So true. My last hope for the season is to improve on the decision making (fewer turnovers), & learn to win the last 4 minutes of games. Get some W's & build confidence for the Arch.
Even with how disappointing this season has been, this team is capable of winning on Thursday & being competitive on Friday.
Mild Arch success doesn't replace a disappointment season, but it's all that's left.
I sure hope this post ages well
After having all night to reflect and collect my thoughts, here I go:
We suck at winning

I mean it's fine. The only reason it's fine outside of Murray and Belmont the Valley aint shit so yeah if you're going to be positive this is the way forward... However, I am choosing to not be positive - being down 20, committing 20 turnovers and handing them a win in the final seconds is unacceptable. Had to be a long bus ride home.
It was game day for our MVC stand-alone game vs UIC and I hated to wonder...
What the hell has happened to our season? The second-to-last play of last night's game sums it up.
How in the hell did we defeat Belmont and Illinois State? Everyone's question.
How in the hell has UIC won six in a row? Make that seven in a row.
Should we be scared as hell to play UIC? No.
What in the hell will it take for us to beat UIC? Holding that one point lead late in the game.
What in the hell is wrong with UIC fans that they never show up? Everyone's question.
Why won't our guys play like they're mad as hell? My question in particular.
Will Coach Graves EVER be mad as hell? Probably needs to be.
If beating UIC is considered a good win for us, does that mean that hell has frozen over? Moot point.

It was a throw in that makes the winning shot or OT. That was the absolute worst case scenario.
The team breaks down at the end of games. Just can’t finish.
100%....the Valley is a shell of it's former self, IMHO....and we're in 2nd to last place IN it.....
I found the play if anyone didn't see it. Comical. I think the UIC coaches designed that one.

Not sure what you mean by this. In terms of the league, it's the best it has been in awhile if you are going off rankings. If you are going by individual talent then yeah there's case to be made for that.100%....the Valley is a shell of it's former self, IMHO....and we're in 2nd to last place IN it.....

Holy shit. Bruno and Hall took about 6 steps each before Scott was ever given the ball. A ton of blame on that final play, but how stupid can you possibly be? Just no attention to detail, then we wonder why we “are so close” in every game
