Sleep walking through a game against a team that is only ok and letting them stick around will get us murdered down the line if they do they their head out of their ass quick.

Brown has been a liability for two straight games on the defensive end almost to the point where keeping him in is to ****ing costly. No idea why he just not "in it" come game time.

I really don't know whether Flagler or Akinjo is player of the game tonight, they've both been super


If they were going to carry the game, would've been nice to know beforehand.

We're going to lose poll votes next week.

Right now, I just hope we don't lose this home game to an unranked middle of the pack B12 team.

FLOP of epic proportions... Akinjo was going one way and the OU player flopped the other on a graze... What the **** is the ref looking at?

Seriously who the **** is this abomination of a 3 man crew?

Mayer with he block and layup and follows up with a great charge as he was set and well out of the arc by maybe 2 sec, but guess what... Ref says nope that's a block son...

Been watching college ball since the 70s. That's one of the best plays I've ever seen.

I know it's a long season and you're not going to always play at the same level, but on the defensive end this has looked like a night and day different team from the one that strangled a good Villanova team.
CaliByWayOfKS
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Flagler isn't paying attention for *****.. He's passed the ball away 4 times this half alone into TOs and right there he isn't looking for the ball when he's the only damn man near the baseline and he screws them.
Jack Bauer

Blocked by Thamba!

This is the first time in a quite awhile I've seen us get outcoached and outsmarted. Hopefully we hang on for the win.

Man what a pathetic crowd from the looks on TV. Need a better home court advantage as we lay better teams

Flagler and Cryer need to be running laps and passing drills until the morning... They are an abomination this game with the ball.

They've scored, but their head isn't on straight at all.
