I've been positive on this team all season, but I'm starting to come to grips with the fact that this is not a good basketball team.


Better than 2021? No.
Not good? Not even close.

They don't play defense...which has been apparent since the Auburn game. Either the coaching staff can't correctly see opponent tendencies from game film, or the players are too dumb to understand what the coaches are trying to tell the in the game prep. Take BYU: they shoot like 35-40 3s a game. So what don't we do? that's right...guard the 3 pt line. That BYU had a poor shooting night from outside doesn't mean we were playing good defense. This team also can't defend the ball screens...too many open looks because the ball defender goes under the screen and the screen defender doesn't make as much as a feint step towards the ball. And the lane is usually open for either a driver or the post down there by himself.

This team is going to be lucky to get past round 1. round 2? whatever the round of 64 is called now.

That's it. Ref fueled win for Kstate. Home cooking. Sure we could have won it but they gave us too much to overcome

And if we could even hit 50% of our FTs, we'd be undefeated still. You can't blow winnable games. This team straight up blew this game.

It's only going to get much worse with the #1 strength of schedule remaining

Classic case of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

With all the good / highly ranked conference teams still on the schedule. This baylor team won't be competitive against Houston or Kansas...or hell, maybe even Oklahoma or Texas.

KSU is mid. By seasons end they'll be under .500 in league play. We're 3-1 and could easily be 0-4
We aren't a very good team. I'll get ripped for that. But it's painfully obvious this teams ceiling is incredibly low compared to recent seasons

He needs to just give up on dunk put backs and just tap it in or lay it in.

we have one bad game on the road in the big 12 so were gonna get upset by a 14 seed in round 1. ok
