(NCAA-WEST/Providence) #10 Arkansas, Sat., Mar. 22, 2:40p, CBS

Could have used a healthy Dunlap today. Or saying he’s a knockdown shooter but when healthy, he has the ability to get hot from three
Again, for the people in the back, WE DIDN'T LOSE TODAY BECAUSE OF OUR OUTSIDE SHOOTING. We let them get to the rim repeatedly on D and missed hella layups.
We didn't need Brady Dunlap today, we needed the Big East Player of the year to make 5 more buckets than he did and not sulk on defense when he missed a bunch of shots.
 
61-58 when Kadary picks up 5th on a phantom call. Completely killed our chances following that. I feel so bad for our guys.

Overall, I know expectations change, but coming into the season if you told me we finished 1st in the Big East, won the Big East tournament, and won our first tournament game in 25 years, I would sign up for that immediately. I know Rick will assemble a great roster for next season and time to set the expectations at making the second weekend!
 
We took the lead and had a chance to extend it right before the half. Instead we let them go on a run and take back the lead going in to the half. That gave me serious concerns right there. Then, of course, that carried in to the start of the 2nd half when they went on a run and opened a double digit lead. They gave us opportunities to come back, but we could never quite get over the hump. Every time we got close, we'd do something to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Great season no doubt, extremely disappointing ending.
