We didn't lose that game last night, ...

... Coach Jones lost it earlier this season in December and January. He failed to develop a bench, running his starters for record minutes against even scrub teams. Of course the players on the bench aren't as good as the starters, but they will never develop if you don't give them meaningful minutes on the floor.
That problem and the lack of timeouts are problems that Jones may improve on, but it seems very likely to be an issue throughout his career.

The bench usage complaint is not wrong.
As a college coach with a thin roster or just a lack of depth in his eyes, you have to learn to buy time for your starters in the first half of games. You use the bench guys and play to whatever strengths they have in those stretches that you use them. That usually happens between the first media timeout (16 minute mark) through the last one in the first half (4 minute mark).
Failure to do this is inexcusable. You can save enough time for your starters early so that they are fresh enough later (most of the second half), when most games are really won or lost.
Jones did not accomplish this during the season.

So do "we" get to keep playing? I mean, since JJ lost the game? Did JJ miss free throws? Did he fail to make a fg for 10 minutes?

Lost because they cant do the most basic thing in basketball, shooting free throws
They should be running wins sprints until next year

Did he not develop Tim Quarterman? Where pray tell did he come from? Did he not develop Jalyn Patterson? Where did he come from? Did he not develop Darcy Malone into a guy that could play 5 minutes without fouling out? You guys just need to understand that Epps can't defend and Bridge doesn't have size. Next year, both will contribute. Not everyone can be Jahlil Okafor as a freshman. Also, just because someone can't play 10 minutes during the SEC or the tournament as a freshman doesn't mean your staff can't recruit. High school guys need development. Remember Martin and Quarterman last year?
Some of you act like Izzo or Krzyzewski would make Darcy Malone into a Dirk Nowitzki clone.

The Bench didn't miss free throws which cost them more games than the NCAA game.....
