Smith slides his pivot foot.

How is that tha FIRST foul on Smith?

Here's the KU rule of late calls in a shallow attempt to hide the disparity.

I feel like the last call against Tech before this was at the 12 min. mark. That would be 9 mins. in a really physical game.

Still time if it's called fairly. Nevermind, if we can't hit FTs

Lackadaisical first FT by Motley. Cmon man. Game on the line.

2 blowouts on the road won't look good. Hope we can keep it close and respectable.

50/50 goaltending call goes against our way too. LOL, I hate the B12.

These refs haven't completely ruined any flow to this game this second half.

But which of the 20+ calls does that apply to?

Or what % north of 70?

Cant miss free throws

Sans Maston we are horrendous at free throws.
GoldMind

I rarely blame refs, but this one seems rediculous.
lancebu

These ****ing refs, wait till game is basically over before we get any calls.
BaylorBJM

Is that seven missed threes in a row?

Getting those late calls in to even things out after game over.
Bear15
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Lol...

The refs are evening out that boxscore at PF's

Maston had a nice game against Kansas and wasn't in down the stretch either

Probably should fire drew.

We are playing for second in the Big 12 now. Gotta beat KU and WVU at home.

This and the kansas game are just sickening.
lancebu
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We took way too many jumpers in the second half, but the refs handed that game to Tech.
El Mariachi
How long do you want to ignore this user?
When we try to foul...no call. Lol.
Chad 2 the Bone
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Refs didn't help, but we could have won this game in spite of them. Poor free throw shooting, bad 3 point shooting, and poor defense is really what did us in.

Gear up for the tourney, **** this conference.

Maston should have been in the entire last 10 minutes

Drew does need to get them extra FT practice time
Media Bear

Losing Manu was the death blow.

And that's the key right there. It isn't just the foul trouble or the gift free throw for Tech, it's the broken rhythm and flow. It's incredible how easy it is for a team of refs to influence a game.

We played like chumps tonight . Very disappointed in Motley. King played like old King tonight. Manu without the tech was good. Mason provided a spark.

We deserve to get beat
Yup.

Maston and Manu are the only ones that showed up, Manu got DQ'ed for being stupid. no one can't hit FT's.

Oh well, win at home.

King played like he's played the majority of our conference games.
