And this is now a meaningless game. Yawn.

Well senior day festivities should be interesting. Will Max and Chase participate? And if so how awkward will it be?

They should just cancel it. The only thing worth celebrating is neither will be coming back.

So... they didn't do the individual thing like they usually do, it was just some big group thing with all the seniors out there at once.

Very awkward indeed. Miller couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I'm not sure why they bothered moving that to pre game. That was the fastest senior ceremony I've ever seen.

A real good pass to Zeke is one of Stone's blocked shots.

They look like they've quit. Green should have boxed out McDaniels on the put back. Zeke is the only with fight.

Holy cow, is this team going to miss Zeke Nnagi. The kid is a beast and the real reason why this team is as good as it is.

No, they don’t - most of the guys are really hustling and showing emotion!

you may have “quit”, though....

What game are you watching? I've seen so many missed box outs and lazy passes. If you see others playing with same energy and passion as Zeke than we have different perspectives my man. Last home game of the year down 15 in the first half I can't remember the time that has happened.

Then we'll get a higher seed than we deserve and have an even more embarrassing loss. Can't wait for that.

Its too bad Stone is having an off night, as he’s been improving overbthe past several weeks - he’s missed a lot if good looks....

This teams record without Zeke Nnagi would be utterly terrifying to contemplate.

As a true freshmen he is far and away the best player on the team. Second best is a far distance behind.

We have such an array of weapons....that we can fall on. Maybe in the 2h we'll recognize which is the handle and which is the business end. Last game we'd showed the Cougs what we could do when we did.

It's amazing to me a team with so much talent (supposedly) could be so flawlessly inept. It's proof all that glitters is not gold. Just a nightmare to watch. Thank God it ends soon.

I know.
Here's another insight, if we go 1 for 5 to close the season with our last two losses to the last place team in the PAC, do we make the NCAA tournament?
