The next 3 possessions are going to be crucial if we are going to blow a big lead or hold them off

Back to the sloppiness. You cannot coast just because you have a big lead! Because that 18 point lead is down to 13 and if you're not careful it will disappear.

Nobody blows out anyone in this league anymore.

Razor thin talent.

We need to keep scoring. If we run good offense the rest of the way, our defense doesn't matter.

Don't get conservative here. Keep attacking.

someone get a wide receivers coach to help out these big men.

This little run should do it. It's hard to blow an 18-point lead in 4 1/2 minutes.

We made them quit. You love to see it, especially for a team with 10 seniors.

I've got to give the defense credit. Holding TCU -- a top 30 offensive team -- to 31.3 percent shooting on its home floor is impressive. Hell of a job by the boys on that end tonight. They confounded the Frogs with the zone.

really hope RayJ gets a triple double

Wait for the two minute mark. Don't want to set any records.

It's weird that home/road means almost nothing to this team.

I betcha TCU hits a shot at buzzer

That was a ridiculous pass by Dennis. That dude's vision is insane.

Great developmental coaching job by all the coaches this year.

3 true freshman, two transfers and a guy (Josh O) who is better every game.

Look at the cohesiveness we have developed.

Ask Calipari if it's easy to coach lottery picks.

That's a pro pass by Ray J.. nasty. Take the good with the bad.

I am loving this thrashing so much! Purple hate runs deep with me. Complete and total happiness! I am experiencing that JOY right now!

LFG!! Best defensive effort in a good while! Wish we'd exert that intensity on the defensive end on a game to game basis.

No sign of ZachTay either. It's weird how he only shows up when things are stormy.

He's closing in on a triple-double with only three turnovers tonight. There hasn't been much bad in this one.

Want to see a trend building. Sustained intensity is something we haven't seen yet.

Sounds like a broken record but with healthy Love not a team we can't beat outside of locked in UConn.

In fairness, that's three halves in a row now. Maybe we figured something out at halftime of the Houston game.

I'm not going to laud our defense too much..I will our rebounding and toughness.

TCU missed a LOT of open mid range shots.

Hate watching our late game antics. Should be an easy win. Still might be. But we get sloppy and commit stupid fouls.

Turning layups and dunks into midrange shots is improvement. We kept them out of the paint, which is a big deal.

TCU is also a poor shooting team. They do most of their damage in transition. That's great awareness of the gameplan. We wanted them to shoot jumpers.
