Missi is not going against a statue like hunter

We need to try to get it to six by the 10-minute mark. We need to find a way to put some pressure on them and get the crowd into it.

That's hard to do when you start the game down 10 and never get closer than eight after that.

Texas just can't miss. They have to be shooting above 60% from the field…which is just crazy!

Missi is perfect for the NBA. Does not play even the least bit of defense. Looks lost under the basket on the defensive end.

I love Missi, but he's trying to do way too much on the offensive end right now. Stop dribbling.
He's open on pick and rolls, but guards don't trust him enough to give him the ball.

This team is just piss poor defensively. Go get a defensive specialist Drew. Or recruit guys who do t play Olay defense. This is just embarrassing

We could easily play our selves from the big 12 tournament 3 seed to 6 if we decide to not show up against Tech as well.

We've made several guards look like 1st team All Americans. It's what we do best

Maybe Rodney Allen Rippie just has Scott Drew's number.

We just look completely overmatched on the defensive end. Completely.

We're not dropping to a 6. We've got seven Quad 1 wins. Our floor is a 4.

We get a stop and then can't rebound

That was just a great shot by Abmas. Little defended him well there.

We get a stop and then won't rebound

BIG 12 tournament...

If we go 0-3 I could easily see us dropping to a 5 seed though.

Read his post I. Full before responding… he said at B12's and he's absolutely correct

8/8 in the second half and down 1 more point than we started the half. insane.
bear2be2
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We're in it. Keep chipping away. Put some pressure on them and remind them that they're a 7 seed.
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
We're scoring at will. Just simply cannot string any stops together at all. Abmas is doing whatever he wants whenever he wants.

Fair enough. I don't give a **** about the Big 12 tournament.

It's meaningless in regards to any of our goals.
