Walter trying to force way too much. Just keep the ball moving.

Ugh
Three live-ball turnovers in five minutes. Might as well give them the game.

Great pass by Missi for the dunk.

Miro is playing well. Staying within himself and hustling.

Little playing his best game of the year. Great energy.

RayJ's got to make his free throws. His struggles from the line are weird.

And Dennis continues to suck at the line in critical situations. Pathetic

RayJ has gotten so much worse at the stripe. It's mystifying.

Huge momentum swing. Could have been down 1, now down 9.

And just like that our run is a memory.

Dribbles balls off his foot, misses a textbook layup, and can't hit a FT to save his life.

Man...Dickinson should start a moving company that also sells screens. He could make a mint.

Today we are playing like a 6 or 7 seed, not a 4. And the free throw issues are getting old. There was a time we were lights out at the free throw line. This team not so much. Thing is, we can still win the game not because we are so great but because this Kansas team isn't that great.

15 turnovers so far pretty much tell the story.

Walter just looks lost. The poor guy has lost all of his confidence.

He's a mediocre player at best right now.

He's been mediocre for gigantic stretches of this season. Fans just refuse to call it what it is because he's a freshman. But in his defense he's not alone

Walter's not even freaking close on his 3-point shot. What the hell happened?
