Lack of offensive rebounding killed us plus the their rebounding was the difference.

Proud of this team. Our 2 best players were a 0 star tennis player and a under recruited under sized point guard. We shouldn’t even be here. All that matters is that we got the Acc Tournament banner. So rare for us tech fans to see a quality team in basketball.

That center was...unimpressive. Wright would’ve had a huge game.

Our guards clearly out athleted them. We were fairly constantly getting past them while they were struggling to drive for most of the game at all. With Moses we'd have exposed their big guy even more.
Honestly, going in I thought they had gotten screwed with the seeding, but after watching them against us sans Moses I can see why they are an 8 seed.

Great season. Usher was phenomenal out there. Jose really never overcame the injuries on offense the last month or so. Hope he returns and please god bring in front court help. I think we saw today the gap between Moses and the rest of the bigs.

Fun season when we weren’t getting absolutely screwed. Could’ve gone deep with Moses, even with the crap officiating we had today.

Problem is we let ourselves get killed from the perimeter.

Usually I root for teams like that against the bigger factory schools but after today I’m leaning to the little 11 school. They just got away with a bit too much for me to root for them. Beat us straight up that would have been one thing but 19-9 with curious fouls taking our only size out of game & horrendous no calls, etc. Nope

Illinois is one of the dirtiest teams in the country though.

Refs were ****ing awful. I hate to see a season come to an end because of refs. I love this team and what they did this year though! I couldn't be more proud of them and what they have accomplished!! I want to thank them for making GT basketball fun and relevant again.

No doubt. They hit us at least 3 times in the face and nothing.

And not saying its intentional, but a foul is a foul and the refs really stuck it to us this game.

Our best shooting of the season - 60% today. But of course Loyola couldn’t miss a 3. That’s the NCAAT!
Their center is a fat slow turd. No Moses and he almost wasn’t there.

We were a thin team really when any of the big 4 went out we would struggle ESPECIALLY Moses.

I have to diasgree. If your guards are breaking them down consistently, you score more than 60 against a team without an interior defender. I honestly thought they were our equivalent in terms of athletes. I think we may have won with Moses but that was a quality team that would have been a struggle even with our real #5. However I recognize that this is just my opinion after only seeing them once.

There was a big ACCT vs NCAAT back & forth going on here the last week. Now everyone remember why the NCAAT matter more?
