Apparently, he set a screen for Ace Bailey in their game against Illinois and just laughed it off after the score. What a stud.I understand, but Collins was obviously trying to make a statement. He wasn't going to put up with that ref anymore. By the way, that ref Jeffrey Anderson is internet famous. He's known as "High Knees" and is universally hated because he's so bad.
Your 5’s have to have more than 1 rebound between them.Cats losing 26-16 on the boards, including 8-to-3 on offensive rebounds. USC must be baffled by those figures.
Really poor perspective here actually. Protect your team and show them you have your back. Not his fault the ref is inept.Well....not too much but I just didn't like the meltdown. This game is winnable and you just gave the other team 6 points plus got yourself a one way ticket to the locker room.
Um, what?The game is definitely winnable.
Collins was right to be upset about some of the no-calls on Martinelli, but come on, man, you just dumped a bag a crap on your assistant coaches.
Impressed with our fight. Let’s win this one!!Our boys just keep fighting
I mean really? That’s your actual take? We lack mental toughness? This might be the toughest team in our program history.Another loss. Just don't have the mental toughness they had with Boo.
Love the fight but just can't close on the road. So close its maddening.Not executing down the stretch. Same as it ever was.
Getting late here on East coast - will give you a pass on this .off base comment.Another loss. Just don't have the mental toughness they had with Boo.
Why? It isn’t about Wins and losses at this point. You try to get as many wins as you can, but it doesn’t matter much once you lost 2 of your 3 best players.Damn, this one was actually quite a big loss when you look at the standings. Sh*t.
Very strange comment.Another loss. Just don't have the mental toughness they had with Boo.
Um, your defense of Collins getting kicked out in this situation - on the road, lineup in chaos, young guys playing - the team (presumably) needs their coach to not get kicked out.Um, what?

Your take is dumb.
Understand now?
Why? This isn’t an isolated incident. We’ve failed to make the key plays in the closing minutes over and over this season. That’s not physical. That’s mental. We compete for 38 minutes. What’s different about the last two?Very strange comment.
Collins doesn’t control the idiot ref and his guys need to understand he fights for them no matter what. Not sure you’re appreciating the realities of high level coaching vs. just being a lineup/XOs game manager. There’s wayyyy more to it than that.Um, your defense of Collins getting kicked out in this situation - on the road, lineup in chaos, young guys playing - the team (presumably) needs their coach to not get kicked out.

Well, this time Jordan Clayton was on the court.What’s different about the last two?
It’s strange because we are out manned by a lot in terms of talent and are in games we have no business being in. The team fights. Plays hards and now has one go to guy that gets triple teamed. This isn’t close to the best team we’ve had over the last decade, but it is right up there with the toughest.Why? This isn’t an isolated incident.

He can't give Washington 4 free throws and get tossed.Collins doesn’t control the idiot ref and his guys need to understand he fights for them no matter what.

Oddly it was our best player who lost his composure down the stretch. An inexcusable turnover and then a heave against a triple team with plenty of time left on the shot clock and a teammate wide open on the left wing.Well, this time Jordan Clayton was on the court.
Last game it was Blake Smith.
Unfathomable to me.
Yes, it matters who is playing - if you want composure and execution in crunch time - I'd suggest not playing guys who never play.
Yeah but I'm sure you noticed that Washington was a hot mess.It’s strange because we are out manned by a lot in terms of talent and are in games we have no business being in. The team fights.

Right on queue. I guess coach Lowrey is just as incompetent as CCC. I keep trying to figure out who you would have in the game and still puzzles me how you can’t see that the Frosh kill this team when they are in there. Clayton played better than KJ. Smith played better than Gelo.Well, this time Jordan Clayton was on the court.

Berry had a couple dumb fouls and took a couple bad shots in crunch time as well.Oddly it was our best player who lost his composure down the stretch. An inexcusable turnover and then a heave against a triple team with plenty of time left on the shot clock and a teammate wide open on the left wing.
I think you overestimate our talent at this stage of the game. We literally have 1.5 dependable scorers. Couple this with our lack of rebounding and there is a problem.Yeah but I'm sure you noticed that Washington was a hot mess.
We should have beaten them.
