Horrible shooting, ridiculous free throw shooting, and pathetic mental mistakes.

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.
ok

You have to play near perfect on the road to win in the B12


We better start getting some homecooking at foster

Can't beat the refs.
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

We were a very stupid basketball team tonight. Missi's court awareness was horrible in the last minute or so. Lousy free throw shooting didn't help. I hate hate hate losing a game you should win.

Absolutely pathetic.
If the Big 12 wants to be a basketball conference, they better fix their officiating. It is unbearable to watch.

We deserved this loss.. pathetic shooting, pathetic free throw shooting. Just sad. We are not the #9 team in the country. We have a LOT to fix.

We lost this game in the first half. K State can score fast and we never took control.

Tang is a really good coach, but this was winnable.

That's it. Ref fueled win for Kstate. Home cooking. Sure we could have won it but they gave us too much to overcome
You can keep telling yourself that. We shot 19% from 3 and 47% from the line (with not a huge FTA discrepancy). Those aren't ref problems. This team has a laundry list of issues...officiating isn't in the top 10 of those.

Disappointing performance. Free throws. Turnovers in the first half. Dumb fouls. You're gonna have nights where the shots don't fall, but I thought we took bad shots more than we did all season.

Not tonight. If we had even played poorly, we would have won. Instead, we played like dog*****

It is literally impossible to lose a game when you get 20 more shots than the opposing team, except maybe in junior high basketball.

Wide open three missed at the buzzer to win in regulation...wide open three missed by LL to go ahead with 10 seconds left in OT....it was there for the taking. Just didn't finish.

Then a guy who hasn't scored a point since Dec 2 knocks down a huge three for KSU to keep them afloat. Funny game.

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


I guess the season is over. Okay, Iowa Bear has packed it in. He'll see you next season.

No, you don't need to play perfect. 33% shooting overall, 25% from three, less than 50% from the free throw, a few missed dunks and it was a four point game in OT. Mediocrity or luck would have won this game. Nothing near perfection was needed in this game. We could have really taken control of the conference tonight. Oh well. On to the next one.

Couldn't believe what a non factor Walter was tonight. Missi needs to get stronger and hang on to the ball. All the missed free throws is a real indicator of a team without much confidence. Losing to this KState team is very concerning.

Tang 3-0. KSU in basketball and TCU in football. PURPLE is an automatic L for the bears. Just mark it up.

Ok, we lost a conference game. The lucky win streak with Nunn starting is over. Make Love a starter.

Can we petition the Big 12 to move all our remaining road games to Foster Pavilion?

We have not looked good since before the Michigan State game (disregarding Mississippi Valley State, who is quite literally the worst team in D1).

We've gutted out some close wins, but we are decidedly not "fine."

we're gonna lose games. we play in the big 12. the fact we didn't lose by 20 tonight with how bad we shot the ball from 3 and the line is a positive. the defense and rebounding was great tonight. this team is still good and if y'all wanna overreact to 1 road conference loss, more power to ya. but im not

51 missed FG. FIFTY-ONE.

22 more shots than K-State. 6 fewer turnovers. Make it make sense.

Just a Butt ugly game by both teams. Burn the tape.

Calls down the stretch were very one sided. Definitely in the top 10. With that said we found a way to lose it.

Kstate is not very good.

The fact we didn't win easily, as terrible as KState played, is inexcusable.
