Well, this season is done. Disappointing.

Missi no show today.

Really wish we could put together a roster with experience and maturity


Portal and NIL have eliminated that possibility

If we don't make a run over the next six minutes, we're probably cooked. We'll find out what this team is made of here.

We are going to lose by 20+

We'll be down by 20 but come back a little at end.

We just don't have the defensive competency to stay up with very good opponents on a below average offensive night.

Would be a five-point game if we could make our free throws

Why are our guys fighting each other for offensive rebounds?

No team makes all of its free throws. Especially ones that are typically around 70 percent.

This is the score we deserve with the effort/performance we've given.

We may have to stop boasting about the Big 12 being the best conference. Out of 8 teams we're going to at most get a whopping 2 teams to the 2nd weekend - and that's only if UH wins what may well be a teally tough game against the aggys.

For our part, we get the best first two round draw we've had in I don't know how many years and we blow it. Three years in a row and counting of going down in round 2.



I've been saying it all year that the big 12 wasn't the best Conference in basketball this year. We weren't good, KU wasn't good, Iowa State is a fraud but disciplined, Houston is not impressive when you watch them play.

My problem is drew three years in a row has put together teams with attitude and or effort issues.

3 straight top 3 seeds and looking and 3 straight rd of 32 exits. We have made the 2nd weekend since 17. (Excluding our title team)

I've sensed it but haven't gone all in. The talent level definitely isn't there.

You'll look like a soothsayer if A&M pulls the upset.

If our offense was even below average we'd be right in this. The offense is the problem. Full stop

The talent level of our guards is incredibly overrated. Top level guards are consistent. Ours are not. We have solid guard play. But far from what it takes for deep March runs

Fundamentally sound teams are our worst match up.

All these fouls are doing nothing if they keep missing them.
