Well, Charles Thompson gets thrown out due to a headbutt at the end of the game. Nendah Tarke goes 0-for-10 from the field.  This season couldn't end on a worse note. Towson turns the ball over 19 times. That pretty much explains it.

So, here are some post game comments without the officiating stuff from the radio/internet interview

"Definitely. We didn't take care of the ball. Too many runouts. Difference in the game. Guarded well in the halfcourt. Too many live ball turnovers. We're better than that. That did us in. Hard-fought game. Lost to a very good team."

"We victimized ourselves. Not a good shooting day. Felt it was going to be a 40+ foul game. That was a debacle. Two good team. Awesome crowd. Wilmington outplayed us. We have good people that study us and hopefully for the benefit of the conference, that they'll make sure...That's not whay we lost. We lost because we turned the ball over and paid the price. The free throw discrepancy doesn't happen often. Our guys had good fight.:

About tournament
"Get some bodies healthy. Prepare for both of them. THat game will be at 2:30 on Friday. Our first game will be on Saturday. Prep for both teams. Try and play a consistent game on Saturday and have some success."

Change the title of this thread to “Skerry led team collapses late when pressure is on”.   Competently unacceptable from top to bottom. Awful gameplan. Awful execution. Can’t act the way we did (but under pat it’s a given). Cue the excuses in 3…2..1.   FIRE PAT

That's why I write the headlines. And wait a few minutes before the game ends to calm myself, but was not shocked at the outcome. Even if we got the 4th seed, we're probably not beating them 3 straight times.

Not a terribly surprising result, which is the problem. Tarke 0-10. You would think he would have made 1 by accident. Any chance Nicholls State wants him back?

Look, we desperately need a PG & some guys who can score next season. Needing these things and getting them are 2 completely different stories though. 

CT with a headbutt? Is this the WWF? He’s got his name all over the TU record books, in no small part due to the volume of games he played, but it’s time to close the book on the CT era.

Honestly, is anyone excited/optimistic about our chances in the tournament? Maybe we win 1 game, though I certainly wouldn’t be shocked if we’re 1 & done

Tarke has a lot of negative plays.  Just too many.  Turnovers killed us in this one but Tarke just needs to not put up senseless shots.  0 for 10, wow.  There a lot of guys that played hard today.  Rebounding was great, inside game was great.  Turnovers and Tarke just making too many negative plays.  This can be cleaned up.

Need just 7-8 players and we are right there!

The lack of discipline in this program is ridiculous. New voice and leadership needed.. yesterday!

There is no new voice and leadership on the horizon. Just hope & pray he doesn’t get another extension, which as absurd as that sounds, I don’t rule it out

Then why after 30 and 20 games hasn’t it?  Rebounding is always great. Defense is average.  Offense and coaching are pitiful. Game in game out.

Coaches style doesn’t fit for a player to score 14 or more a game. (Which every other team in the league has except us). Lack of composure in late games is ridiculous.  Not making shots fine. But the boneheaded plays  and actions? Simply un-fucking acceptable. Sorry. Year 13 and a player in his 5th year?!

Skerry has always had “try hard “ guys, which has gotten us over a decade of early exits from postseason play, and a trophy case full of participation trophies
