This game is just being played so sloppily. No real direction. At least 6 layups that should have been made. Zero adjustments.

This is brutal watching

For older school ballers hereā€¦ā€¦Pepp is running a lot of Flex O, just beat us on back to back flex cut layups.
Salt in the wound to get beaten by O popularized by Carrol Williams.

Once again playing down to the competition. This shows while we can beat anybody we can also lose to anybody. Better get going soon or the season is over. No NIT with a loss to Pepperdine and we donā€™t deserve an invite. Iā€™m disgusted. Kept them i8n the game in the first half and now itā€™s coming home to roost. Hope Iā€™m wrong but looks like another terrible exit in the tournament.

We canā€™t hit layups. And we leave players wide open under the hoop.

Why does Tilly throw up weak layups instead of jamming the ball? He is the smallest seven-footer Iā€™ve ever seen. Plays like heā€™s 6ā€™6".

Why do we do this to ourselvesā€¦

Again getting the least out of our talent. At least weā€™re consistentā€¦

Bal should never dribble. He is nothing more than a catch-and-shoot guy.

Why do we have Bal shooting there. Heā€™s had a terrible game and terrible looks all night.

Not even close to a tourney invite in the Sendak years. Other coaches get canned that made final four last year like nc state. We need to make changes. The fact we canā€™t win one game in the WCC tourney is brutal.

Herb gets outcoached by a guy in his 1st year who was last an assistant at GCU. :man_facepalming:

Agreedā€¦Youā€™ve got to get at least one tournament appearance in 10 years, and it hasnā€™t happened. Seen enough. Yes, we missed alot of layups, and thatā€™s on the players but as 92 pointed out, Schilling ran the flex O and we looked lost defensively. Credit his coaching and changes during the game!

I donā€™t know if we will make the NIT, but this loss is Sendekā€™s most deflating.

Horrible way to end his Santa Clara career. Makes through four years without injury. Cracks his elbow last game. . Shooting elbow no less!!! Messed up elbow and all - I still think he was giving us his all.

Go Broncos for years to come!

All the talent on this team, but no one to lead during crunch time.

They played 10 minutes of good basketball and 30 minutes of absolutely awful basketball on both ends of the floor.

Yet another disappointing WCC tournament performance.

While things have improved mightily since the KK era, Herbā€™s teams havenā€™t played well in March; I donā€™t think theyā€™ve ever won more than one game in the WCC tournament, and both NIT bids were one and done.

And while I donā€™t think the season is overā€” I think thereā€™s a very strong case for the NITā€” itā€™s hard to be optimistic about this team after watching tonightā€™s meltdown.

This is what Iā€™ve been saying all year: there is no floor general on this team. Itā€™s just a bunch of guys playing together. Pepp has a clear leader in Odum.

How the heck did Odum get looked over by so many other teams? Pepperdine was the best he could do??

BTW: Odum is from the Bronx. Maybe some of that big city attitude from the Empire State is what our team needs.
