Because he can score?

About time they called it lol. All day they've been taking 3 

[TheColonyEagle]

Bad call on Nolan 

[MeanGreen22]

Goldin gets away with so much crap

Noland and Golden both pushing off… Golden gets that home cooking. Both were pushing equally… should have let them play out the possession.

Feels like an offensive rebound gonna be the difference

Or a forced turnover.

Why wouldn’t you wait for the last shot 😞

[MeanGreen13]

Lucky... if rubin plays when we see them again, we're gonna beat them.

[GoMeanGreen1999]

WHY are we shotting another 3 after the miss?  Leaves them too much time.  As Emmitt mentioned above, why the hurry?

[TreeFiddy]

No Buggs, no.

Thought the same. I think FAU still would of still had 5 secs but better than giving them 17

[TheColonyEagle]

He’s so fing good. Man 

[3_n_out]

WTF was Buggs doing!!! Low IQ type play! 

[StealthEagle84]

You have to know the situation. We gave that game away by not holding for the last shot. So frustrating.

Whatever the outcome, we played toe to toe with them on the road.  This is a good UNT team.  

[CMJ]

I can understand Buggs' thought process, but he should have pulled it out.

[outoftown]

I don't hate him taking that shot as much as some of you. Yes waiting sure IS the better play there. But he is super open, and in rythm and has no reason to not be confident, chances an equally good opportunity to drain it will not be coming. Also this ball comes there very quick, its not like he has two seconds to think about it, as he gets the ball almost out of nowhere so freely at the arc. What is more, we on the screen always see the clock, the players do not. Yes they oughta have an idea about it, but in that situation I want 100 % of his cognitive resources on making that shot.

Yea - that’s my thought process, especially with how hot he has been lately. They were still going to have time on the clock either way. If anything, I would have preferred trying to go 2 for 1 since we started possession with like 45 seconds.

[TheColonyEagle]

This one hurts.
 

We led for more than 36:00 of the 40:00 minutes. 

[Andrew]

Need to see us play Memphis, but if healthy I have no doubt we can contend with any team in this conference come tournament time. Charlotte and Fordham are the only bad losses in my mind. (Although a few others could have been easy wins).
