I don't believe it!!!

Shouldn't have been this hard, but incredible plsy in the clutch!

I agree with you Fran. I was only able to watch the 2nd half but Bridges has been a key.

Up 6 with 47 seconds

Why are do many people willing to surrender to the Frogs so early????

We have a lot of self-loathing people in our fanbase.

Are you new to this board? This is every game thread.


There are people who give up if we lose the tip.

They can't shoot. If they could, they'd be a Final Four threat at full health.

Defense really picked it up when it mattered most! Arguably the most impressive win of the season imo next to the UCLA game

Did he grab Flag's nuts??????? LOL

It's not over yet. We need to hit our free throws.

Good examples. Gonzaga & Kansas were impressive too.

There's 30+ seconds to go, not 3. Gotta still play D.

This is the first time his lack of mobility due to the injury has been very noticeable.

He's not quick enough for this TCU team. None of our bigs are.

This really is a tough matchup for us. TCU was built with long, quick, athletic slashers. Those guys give us fits.

Huge miss at the line by Love. Got to make free throws.
Fre3dombear

Make those free throws and game is mostly over. Now we got this
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Make your free throws fellas!!!

We got really lucky there. That looked like ball.

I hope we win so tcu can beatch about that for a year

Perfect example right there. Baugh just whizzed by Jonathan with not even as much as a step slowdown.
bear2be2
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Just get the ball in, get fouled and make your free throws.
Fre3dombear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wow how easy do we want to make it lmao
Fre3dombear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
No timeouts

Now it's set up for a referee makeup call after they've called a horrific game all day

The bigger issue is we keep switching our bigs onto guards. This team switches way too much.

We're not built to switch everything this year.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why do we struggle inbounding the ball so much this year? It's always been a strength of Drew's teams.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Don't throw it in near TCU's bench. Dixon basically serves as a 6th man on D for TCU.
historian

It changed direction after bouncing off the Frog's thigh. That looks pretty clear.
