Don’t wait.

Okay, didn’t watch the game but was following the last few minutes on the tracker. The one I was following had it tied up at 62, end of regulation. A few seconds later, 64-62 MKE.
Correct me if I’m wrong; another second-half lead squandered, right?
Damn...

Is it even a surprise when they lose? They stink and their coach stinks. I’m shocked at how far this program has fallen.

Didn’t see the game, but has there been a coach that has done less with this much talent on paper? At least Collins won when he had some talent. His later teams had no talent and rightfully stunk. Howard Moore also couldn’t win because he had no talent. McClain has brought in some good players on paper (in reality, they lack basketball IQ and a clutch gene)...anyway he’s had good players but has done zilch with them. This senior-laden team never learned to close out a game. We even outshot Milwaukee significantly in FG and 3FG...FTs were a wash. How did we lose? TOs weren’t completely lopsided. They took 17 more shots than us.
I agree you may as well get rid of McClain now but I doubt any assistant would want to take over this group and have an 0-fer on their resume. All McClain does at this point is wave his hands for his guys to run when we get a rebound.

Nothing unusual here. As expected, two evenly matched crappy teams (RPI's of 249 and 257) played a close game. And also, as expected, UIC choked away another chance for a win.

Agree 100% with everything that was said on this podcast about UIC. Not bashing at all. Everything they said about the team and McClain is true. BTW, whoever commented " too long, didn't listen": the portion pertaining to UIC is only 7 minutes long.

After being #7 on SC Top 10 a couple weeks ago for an ally-oop, we reached #1 against Milwaukee yesterday, for their game winner, which featured bad officiating (where’s the travel???) and even worse defense (UIC has defended end of game situations like this the same way over the years...by letting the dribbler get a head full of steam and providing no resistance whatsoever...buzzer beaters by Valpo, Loyola, and now Milwaukee come to mind).
