Great play call. Way to get to the basket. Go off two feet and create the contact he's gonna get that call.

That's the look you want. Great play by TCU.

Never should have been that close, though.

Nope. That one was clean. Just a great play by the TCU defender.

It's going to be tough making the tournament this season with this defense

You've got to finish. You're not getting a call there.

But credit to Cork. That was a great play.

No excuse for this loss.

This team is not going to a second round without a much better transition defense
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

Not sure how this teams going to win games… when you get out scored by almost 30 in the paint you'll lose every time… no lead this team builds will be safe…going to be a long long long season. NCAA hopes are going to straight up disappear if this team doesn't start winning and fast

We're in absolutely no danger of missing the tourney. Stop this silly narrative.

Getting to weekend #2 is an entirely different story.

No excuse needed. This team is just not very good, especially on the defensive end.

We have to start winning games. This conference is too tough to be losing at home.

I honestly believe it is optimistic to think this team makes the tournament. Completely lack "killer" instinct.
IowaBear

Happy? Hardly! I've said for weeks this team just isnt good. You and the "experts crapped on me" did your usual sunshine pumping … and now reality is setting in. Bears aren't good. It happens

Bingo. No call is gonna be made there. Most of those shots are gonna get partially blocked because you're gonna have 6-8, 6-10 guys in there. You win those kinda games with the rebound and put back. Josh O just starting falling backwards too soon and had no force to his shot.

That would be felony assault in 16 states.

I previously posted on another thread that if I was an objective gambler betting on this game, I would take the frogs and the points. So pissed I was right.
Quinton

Just a really poorly coached and poorly executing team. Not well conditioned and probably the worst high major transition defense in D1. Absolutely ridiculous game even if they would have pulled it out. That was a borderline must win. This could go downhill very quickly if they don't start running off some consecutive wins.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Am I? Does this look like an ncaa team? Maybe to you it does you're a sunshine pumpers no matter how we look. You have to win games. Can't lose at home and make the dance. We're 0-2 against 2 very winnable opponents

If you believe this you are either delusional or know nothing of the game of basketball. Where do you see 10 more wins?

You are a certified idiot..or intellectually challenged..I'm not sure which..you literally posted NIT BABY with three exclamation points...that obviously means you're happy with the outcome.

This team struggled with the nobody teams that hurt our RPI just by playing them. Hard to see us not starting 0-4 in conference. George is near total bust territory.

No time for a rebound. If he goes off two feet he does two things… 1. Has more body control and absorbs contact 2. Creates the contact. It's not a guarantee
IowaBear

No… means that's where we're headed as of right now. 16 games to change that. The only idiot is you for continuing to act like this team is elite. It's ok to be realistic
ImABearToo

Just feels like football and basketball have lost the will to win, both at the same time. The toughness has turned to complacency. Are we feeling the effects of the "one and done" curse? Used to build around 4-5 year commitments.

George is far from bust he played great tonight

If you think you need 10 wins to make the NCAA tournament out of the Big 12, I'm definitely not the one who knows nothing about basketball.

The roster has so many flaws. I think Drew needs to start Ojianwuna over Thamba and even experiment with a four guard line-up.
