There's really no excuse to lose this gsme. At TCU or not. They're down 2 key players one of which is arguably the best guard in the league. Pick it up bears

It's frustrating watching us let a team that can not shoot the ball have the lane every possession.

TCU is good at getting to the rim, but come on. At least make it difficult.

This team is just laughably bad defensively. It is what it is. It's hard to see us making a run in March with a 2 pt defense this horrendous

It started TCU 3 fouls and BU 0 fouls. They called 1 foul on TCU in something like the last 13 minutes of the half.

6/17 from 3 another poor night from deep. Have got to get into the lane. Get east looks, create offensive rebound opportunities. And for the love of god, force TCU into something other than a lay up drill.

We need to run some zone in the second half. Make them hit jump shots.
IowaBear

I agree but I don't see it mattering. They'll just blow right by us collapsing the D leading to easy 3s. Don't see us winning this unless we go scorched earth from 3 this half because we aren't keeping them from the paint.

I thought our D was supposed to be much better with JTT

10 layups / dunks. Lol
Johnny Bear

It sure seems like something that impacts our defense a lot is we so often end up with one of the opponent's bigs being guarded in the lane by one of our short guards, particularly late in the shot clock. Leads to giving up a lot of easy points in the lane.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
It's the guards. None can defend worth a crap. Just calling it what it is. They get blown by regularly, we've seen it all season

Need to turn up the intensity. Can't afford a lackluster effort here. We are in the hunt for big 12 championship and we play low key in first half.

There are no such thing as easy 3s for TCU. That team is shooting 28.7 percent from 3 this year.

You can't keep letting a team that is incapable of hitting outside shots get to the rim.

It is..but he doesn't have the same lateral movement.
