MBB vs California - Wed, Mar 4, 2026

TV: ESPNU

Senior night for Wacie, Lamar, and Chas. I'm going to miss Wacie. A great ambassador for the Institute. I have a good feeling and think we'll pull out the win for him.

I will be there and continue to support our guys to the bitter end. Missed only one home game this season (West Georgia).

See some of you tomorrow night. Go Jackets!

 

[AUFC]

Nice to meet you the other day @tdb. Hope to catch you and @Connell62 tomorrow evening.

We owe it to at least Wacie to be there nice and early for his ceremony tomorrow. I know he is probably disappointed with the season results of his time here, but he has given a lot to our program and has been a great representative of the school. Hope folks will show up early and give him a well-deserved standing ovation similar to the one we gave Lance last year.

 

[tdb]

Likewise!

 

[Connell62]

Connell Crew will be there. Excited to see Wacie off properly. He’s been one of the few bright spots.

 

[Connell62]

Since no one is going tonight, anyone got an extra ticket (or pair of tickets) for the Calloway Club?

Hopefully there is a good crowd for Wacie's send off, but I'm not expecting it.

From today's gameday email:

Go out with a bang or a whimper?

 

[GoJackets11]

I’ll be there for Wacie

 

[Home Park Jacket]

This is the worst P4 team I have ever seen.

 

[NewEnglandTransplant]

I’m numb with disinterest.

Good first half, played with intensity and active hands on defense. Shook up Cal up a little, but failed to grow the lead. Second half poor defense let them drive to the paint uncontested on multiple possessions. Looked like Cal wanted it more in the second half. With Baye in foul trouble they were able to dominate inside. Definitely a game that they could have won.

A loss symbolic of the whole season.

ugh.

ugh.

Actually they had a decent chance to win this game. Not symbolic of this season at all, other than they lost again.

Decent first half, horrible second half (remember we started this season 10-5)

 

[awbuzz]

Great first 8 minutes. Good 1st half.
then the lug nuts loosened up and the wheels came off the bus.

 

[BennyWheels]

The season is almost over everyone. Just be happy for that.

 

[AUFC]

A loss symbolic of the whole season.

ugh.

Including Lamar taking a baseball pass off the noggin in the final minute - thought that was poetic.

Decent effort tonight and guys looked loose I thought, but I think we took our foot off the gas at the end of the 1H and that was ultimately our un-doing. We didn't keep the margin large enough while they sleptwalk, Camden started knocking down some 3s in the 2H, and that was all she wrote.

Btw nice to meet you @BeeRBee - sorry we didn't chat longer. We had the biggest Swarm ̶m̶e̶e̶t̶u̶p̶ commiseration fest in the history of the basketball forum in 104 during halftime

 

[Ramble1885]

This is the worst P4 team I have ever seen.

Utah is somehow worse (10-21)

 

[tdb]

Loved how we started. Hated how we finished. I really thought we were going to win tonight, but I was wrong.

Was great to see the @Connell62 Crew as always, @AUFC, and meet @BeeRBee.

Postgame pressers are up. Damon:



Akai and Wacie:



Damon seemed extra chipper before the game. I know he has his guys' backs and was especially there for the seniors.

Talk about a rough season.

 

[tdb]

Not gonna lie, guys. I'm kind of in mourning over the season and the program.
