I'm not sure we are better. We're a good team like most others in this league. We're not a great team.Yogi said:
Seems like we play down to our competition.
TCU is very good. No doubt. But, we're better. And, if we had a little killer instinct and a confident edge, we wouldn't have these late game collapses.

Nonsense. This is definitely a tournament team. It's just closer to a seven or eight seed right now than a three or a four.BUGWBBear said:bear2be2 said:I'm not sure we are better. We're a good team like most others in this league. We're not a great team.Yogi said:

Agree. At this point it'd take a miracle to not go to NIT

It's just a first weekend team for now. Potential for more but anyone on the couch can exploit our deficiencies

I really hate it when our fans give up before the game is over. Now we are in OT and we have some momentum.

You had momentum with a 10 point lead and gave it away. Now you are limping into OT at home when it should have been over.
It's frustrating because this team is awesome to watch for 20 minutes a game. But it's infuriating the other 20.Guitarbiscuit said:
This team is not easy o watch. One thing is for certain is they are way over ranked. Should have concentrated on defending OBannon.

How many 10 point lead late in games is this team going to give up
