Why do we struggle inbounding the ball so much this year? It's always been a strength of Drew's teams.
We have trouble getting the ball in and then dribble straight into traps.

Should have thrown it 90 feet to Jon under the bucket. Easy layup, no question.

They were never up by more than nine. And that was with like nine minutes left. This was just a standard basketball game. Teams make runs.

Basketball game comes down to 1 possession. Just another day in the Big 12.

I wish I knew as much about basketball as most on this thread. I never even realized how slow our guards are. It's amazing they can even get off a shot.

Another gritty win for the good guys. This team doesn't always play well, but it battles.

Nah. Total choke. Horrific last possession. Had every gift given to them

It's a choke

The references everyone was making were to defense, not offense. We're as solid offensively as any Baylor team under Drew.

They're pretty sow and ineffective on defense

Wow that was close. It's amazing we can play such bad defense and still win - TCU got away from what had been working for them. But we never gave up.

Yes. Noticed same thing. Thought he would come in on the last inbounds play that we lost, but he didn't.

Can keynote get into the stat sheet this game?


One of the big reasons we won today. Flag and LJ both got hot and George kept himself from throwing up bad choice shots. Must always feed the hot shooters, because there will nearly always be at least one.

Surely there has to be some rule against a TV broadcast being asked to provide additional views of a replay by officials? Very bizarre. Fran bending over backwards to get that call overturned...lol wth.

This. Our guards get blown by consistently, forcing our bigs into situations they're not athletically equipped to handle.

I wouldn't be shocked if tcu plays us for the big 12 title and tcu finally wins a conference championship in the big 2

Saw that in a game last year, can't remember who. It sure seemed like it was off fkag but idk how you overturn that call. And Fran 100% was advocating for that to be TCUs ball. Maybe he saw something we couldn't on TV

I didn't have a problem with it. We got really lucky on the O'Bannon foul call, and that ball did look like it was off Flagler.

I'm sure LJ couldn't see anyone else open but it wasn't a great idea to inbound it into a trap by the TCU bench with Dickson standing there as well, basically trapping Flag in all directions and essentially creating the effect of a 6th defender. As I said, I'm sure he only threw it there because no one else was breaking open away from that area.

They owed us 3 or 4 at that point so I feel zero sympathy
