Tampa is a better city

USF is a better university 

We have a bigger budget

I just don't get how we can't pull out a win against third tier schools, it seems like we need a miracle to win these games

Frustrating 

I hope Amir can turn it around but more than that I hope USF can figure out how to dominate these ridiculous schools

Performance-wise, we are also a third-tier school.

This game was 100% on coaching.

Letting the team do their best Steph Curry impression will not win us the game.

We need our players to understand that points in the paint are important.

As everyone else already pointed out, at the end of the day free throw shooting of all things especially this season is what fully cooked us in this game.

Bro Kobe Knox needs to work on FT shooting like come on man it's called the charity stripe not the unobtainable stripe.

Just looked at the stats USF had 28 fouls called on them to just 18 for UAB and UAB went to the line 41 times compared to 19 for USF. Say what you want but that looks very one-sided and odd

This game was lost because we shot 40% from the line. Make 4 more and it’s tied. 5 more and we win. Very simple…lost at the line.

Didn't watch game but there was also a 28 to 18 personal foul difference not in our favor. Was discipline also a problem?

UAB has a proud hoops tradition. Best thing about today’s game is we NEVER gave up and went away. When they went up 10, we came right back at them. That’s going to keep us competitive in almost every game this season.

Our fouls were legit, but the issue was it wasn’t called the same on both ends. Refs showed very early that they weren’t going to let us play a physical game. And UAB had the right game plan - take it inside and don’t settle for jump shots.

I can’t remember a game when the opponent was in the double bonus earlier than today.

Outscored 30 - 9 at the line .... ugh

How long you been a Bulls fan? There is no emphasis on players who can make FT at USF. again, how can a person be a DI baskeball athlete and have awful FT skills? kidna like the nurse in the hospital that is supposed to know how to start an IV.

We're shooting over 72% from the line this year, highest since CBG's first year. It's one game .....
