Spread is -2.5. Refs don't need to do anything. We suck.

Drew lost his cool. I haven't seen anything like that before. I don't think Fran has either. Not from Drew.

When's the last time we took a 30 plus point beating? Today could be that day

Yes, that could happen. We will have to wait and see.

Just did quick research.

Since the Tech game when the tailbone injury happened, Akinjo is shooting 24% from the field and 22% from 3.

I hope our new arena doesn't have windows like that. Poor design.

B12 runs through KU that can be put to sleep. Oh well rebound and hopefully find a way to get a W in Manhattan Wednesday

Weird that we suck now. I only see 3 or 4 wins left if we continue the level of play I've seen the past month.

You post has merit; however, i thought Okla St would have been the wake up call.

Said this in another thread and got drilled. Schedule was back/is back heavy. We could easily finish regular season with 9 losses. That's not being a Debbie downer either. We still have trips to Lubbock and Austin. Tricky road games at Okie St and KSU as well. I'll be happy with 23 regular season wins

The saddest stat of all is that we've actually taken 5 more shots than KU. And they lead by 27!

Man idk how anyone in our fan base can make excuses for today. this team is fading. We're going to drop out of the top 10 Monday and could be out of the top 20 by the following week. Injuries and inconsistent play are doing us in

This team has absolutely quit on Scott... any way we don't make the tourney? Watching these quitters, I could care less ,, let them go cash their nba paychecks ,,,

Anticipated a loss today, but I never thought we would literally look like we have no business being in the same gym with KU. We not only don't look like a Top 10 team today - we don't even even look like a NCAA Tourney bubble team today.

Will make the dance, the seed is anyone's guess but it definitely has the feel of a team who could be out R1

what are we like 1 for 20 in the three point attempts?

At this point, get Loveday some experience. Does it really matter whether we lose by 31 or 39?

It's obvious Kansas has wanted this game way more than us since the tip off and we can't hit the blind side of a barn with a bucket full of marbles. Get home, regroup and salvage the season with better effort and shooting

Put in the subs and start jacking 3s.

Sure feels like it. Seems like that's the case most games though. We insist on firing up from deep but we're an average to below average 3 pt shooting team

Thamba fouled out and it was an easy call, just like Fran said.
