Not fouling with 55 seconds to go? Did we actually just quit?

Yes. Even the announcers incredulous.

I would say I couldn't believe what I was seeing but I've come to expect it.
Just awful.

Either the Coach did not tell them to foul or they ignored him.
Neither is acceptable.

Yes. We quit. Waved the white flag with over a minute to go in an 8 point game.

There is no defense for that. Coach deserves to get ripped by everyone for that. He needs to have some answers.

I fast forwarded through the last 90 seconds or so, but it did seem to be a fast 90 seconds of playing time given the situation. I then immediately erased the game, so I'm seeing this for the first time now.
There is no legitimate explanation for this.

I think MD had a longer 90 seconds than we did tonight to get back in the earlier game. It's always on the players in those situations anyway.

I was sitting across the gym from the bench. III was slapping his wrists making the 'foul them' sign.

I'm with Elvado - that speaks volumes as well.
If that's true, Dan, then all five players on floor should sit for long stretches of Butler game.
Unfortunately, it's also a sign of something else, isn't it?

I think they are calling their heart into question on that. Nothing to do with winning the next one. That's just the state of the program. You want to look past that and worry about Butler that's your choice.

Mental lapse by players who appear beaten down emotionally...nothing more or less.
