Throw in the 6 point swing on the wiped off 3 and the Chuck in at the half for tcu and there ya go

27 layups for tcu

We need to go zone. Like now.

Sick of watching the layup drills again.

Lay up drill for TCU, 3 pt shooting contest for us. Wonder why we're losing. Have to adjust the defense

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.


Not if we get swept by tcu

I'll get flamed, but right now Dixon is badly out coaching Drew. They're mustering us with back door cuts. Adjust the defense!

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.
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.


This. Cmon Drew. We have no game plan to
Keep An atrocious 3 point shooting team from getting 15 layups up to the under 16 TO in the 2nd half?

One of these days Baylor is going to start taking TCU seriously in sports.

I repeat - ZONE!

We are taking them seriously. They're just better than tBaylor currently.

the reality is we have some of the worst interior defense in the country and the first team that exploits that + gives our guards a hard time is going to bounce us out of the tourney

It's a bad matchup for us. Our guards can't stay in front of their drivers. And they don't even try to shoot from the outside, so our slow/lazy defenders are kept constantly moving.

Missed 3, tcu layup. Rinse and repeat.

People can make all the excuses they want, we are just a BAD defensive team.

We gonna let tcu B team steal one from is

If Miles was playing, this game would be over by now.

Does anyone dispute this at this point?

Right now we have no answer in the paint. Should give Josh a try
Stefano DiMera

Defense stiffened up a little lately..drew a charge..and got a block..other than one lapse it's been ok last 4 possessions...stupid turnovers have to stop..does look like they went zone when Bridges stole the ball.
DanaDane

Unfortunately, yes. And for the life of me I can't figure out why.

B team did blow out Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse.

We should switch to the zone. Put some bodies between their drivers/cutters and the rim.

Tcu just flexing on baylor as always.

They got zero hardware. But own baylor

It's hilarious

This is awful. I mean really awful.

Why do we not improve our defending in the paint? The whole basketball world sees it. Every commentator points it out.

We seriously don't deserve to win this game. No Miles and no Lampkin and we can't find a way to take advantage.

Seriously disappointed.
IowaBear

This is a bad L if we lose.This team didn't turn any corner, TCU is nothing special without Miles. We still can't defend and we still rely way to much on the 3. I'm really hoping Drew goes to the portal for a big who can create his own in the paint
