Friendly roll
Turns out the clock was on our side.

Worst end of half team in the country. It's not close.

Will Drew please address it. It's clearly a coaching issue at this point.

Once again ball handling is sloppy, rebounding is inconsistent, and shooting is often poor. I just hope they show the kind of improvement they had on Saturday. The second half was so much better than the first. We need that tonight.

I muted my TV prematurely. What happened to TCU's last bucket? Did the clock expire before he shot?

TCU is so aggressive up top. I expect to see some wrinkles to get behind it in the 2nd half

We should be down by 10-12 points tonight. We've played terribly.

And yet at the same time, it feels like we should be UP 10-12 points for as bad as they've played.

What a weird game!

This does bring the 2nd half buzzer beater into play. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news

This is some BAD basketball the past few minutes.
This has been a really ugly game. Fortunately, we're defending pretty well.

Lmao. Hadn't scored in 6 minutes but miraculously makes shot at the buzzer
Unfortunately, it wasn't a miraculous shot. It was an unguarded 17-footer. You have to at least try to defend in that situation.

I'm perplexed. Sitting here and no feel for the game. If we continue at this pace, not sure the basketball gods wil cooperate.

We've repeatedly given up wide open looks in the final seconds of halves. It's weird.

Apparently moving screens are cool if other teams do them.

Giving up an open 30 footer isn't a terrible thing. Giving up an open midrange shot is. One is way easier to make than the other.

I'd say it's weird how bad our D is in those situations, but it's the same in most other situations as well.

Defense looking better now.

Now offense is looking a little better too. Can they keep it up?

That seems to be a bit of a reach. Sure it wasn't just the yelling?
