why where the UT coaches allowed to run on the court with time left on the clock?

Just a miserable game to watch with the two terrible offensive performances and the terrible crew

3/18/2026 12:00:00 AM

Held them to 36% FGs, 29% 3PT. Won turnover battle.

But we missed layups and didn’t rebound and fouled way too fucking much. Don’t enjoy shitting on the team and players but I’m glad I don’t have to watch this team again this year. A very not fun team

No way they should've gotten that one timeout off though

3/18/2026 12:02:30 AM

I'm pretty sure the dude in the front court was calling timeout as soon as the trap got the guy.

3/18/2026 12:04:00 AM

They played better in the last 3 games but disappointing end to the season. Was hoping we could at least pull out the play in game.

3/18/2026 12:05:32 AM

A miserable game with like 4 possessions of just incredible shots.

3/18/2026 12:06:13 AM

I mean...its hard to complain when we missed so many layups

3/18/2026 12:06:27 AM

just rewatched the last shot multiple times

UT assistant was on the court as the shot went in

shoutout to our guy noticing immediately and pointing at him

3/18/2026 12:09:36 AM

Who wants to welcome this team back to the Dail Center???

Yeah it was pretty blatant. Refs are never gonna call that. They’ll use the excuse of checking the time to say there was a stoppage.

There was a conference championship game that the bench ran onto the court after the game winning(? Tying? I dont remember) basket but there were 0.3 seconds left on the clock. The refs didn't call a technical foul and awarded a timeout to the other team instead. Refs are never going to call that if they don't actually interfere with the play.

3/18/2026 12:22:52 AM

we fucked ourselves by taking a timeout right after

inbound the ball as the coach is on the floor

3/18/2026 12:29:25 AM

I mean unless you like run into the guy they aren't going to call it. You're asking an awful lot of guys who are thinking about basketball and not nefarious plans to get a technical foul called on the other team in the span of like 2 seconds.

3/18/2026 12:33:52 AM

there’s nothing nefarious about not taking a timeout there

you’re overthinking it

3/18/2026 12:48:54 AM

Maybe nefarious is the wrong word, but it's insane to think that the players should have the wherewithal to inbounds the ball there and run into the coach in less than a second rather than call a timeout and also that the coach wouldn't call timeout to set up a play, thus preventing said insane scenario. You're overthinking this as well.

3/18/2026 1:20:44 AM

You 100% take a timeout if you are actually trying to win the game

3/18/2026 1:43:24 AM

Remarkable that probably $45 million or so in NIL and operational budget was on the floor in that game.

30+ games into the season and both teams made it look like a preseason invitational game.

3/18/2026 8:35:44 AM

NIT looking teams

3/18/2026 9:06:45 AM

Will McNeil, Able and Arcenaux return?
What about Zymicah, Sagnia, Deng & Langdon?
and Kontuniemi?

3/18/2026 9:12:18 AM

Need to prioritize PM and Able. Although could definitely see one leaving for more PT given they both play similar positions and don’t really play together on the court at the same time. Couldn’t care less about TA.

Deng seems gone since he just redshirted halfway through the year. Not sure Colt or the Finnish guy are ever gonna be ACC caliber. Musa was disappointing. We could use his size and athleticism but even if we bring him back but he’s a reserve, not a starter. Could always use depth in the frontcourt. Wilkins seems a bit undersized and unathletic which are things we had too much of this year.

3/18/2026 9:35:35 AM

I was a little surprised Mr. NC Basketball didn't even see the court this year.

FUCK THESE LAST 10 GAMES WERE A SLOG.

biggest frustration is the huge lack of hustle, and giving up when down big.

3/18/2026 10:25:06 AM

Last fourth (third?) of the season were a big disappointment, really everything after the UNC win. But at least they put (a little) more effort into this game. It was close and somewhat entertaining.
