Huge turnover, but HATE to burn that timeout.
Didn't look like Drew was too pleased either.

This game feels like the kind of tournament game that will take us out early. Lesser team is all jazzed up, coming right at us. Mot gets in early trouble. We start turning the ball over but someone makes ourselves feel better because we have a pattern of winning the second half. Not sure that is going to work in the Big Dance. NOT AT ALL. Lots to fix or another early exit.
dude we are 19-1, give me a break.

also, NCAA tournament games are not played on the road.
Let me say it different way. Not ragging on this team at all. Like you, happy about their record. Really like the guys who make up this team. What I am saying is often the teams who get used to playing from behind get bit doing it in March. I would like to see this area to be something they same to be visibly working on. One of my favorite Tom Landry quotes was an answer he gave after the Cowboys won the Super Bowl. He actually said "we have potential". Time to fix this is when you are good, trying to be great.

NCAA tournament games, as I am sure you know, come with their own kind of pressure. Not on the road but a weird pressure (sometimes empty gyms in the early rounds for afternoon games. Just have a feel those necks are going to get a little tight come tourney time if we play the come from behind game. That is all.

Would be awesome if both Baylor & Kansas came back to win tonight. I don't want to see KU coming back to Lawrence w/ a 2 game losing streak.
