I just wish Manu would look interested.

That's about it to me. Haven't been able to stop them much on the defensive end.

I've had it with these calls. This looks like a KU home game.

Ain't happening. As usual too many blown offensive opportunities and the refs have been ridiculous, especially in the 2nd half.

Robinson has always been a dramatic flopper. He gets a foul called every time he drives.

When we do, there's a whistle. Every time.

Seriously, are we even touching them on half of these fouls?

This is just a flawed team. I'm not watching the NIT.

Lecomte should've been benched long ago. When he can't hit a shot, he's a liability everywhere else.

Embarrassing! NCAA Tournament invite was right there for them but nope. NIT instead.

I just hope next year we have some better guards that are more consistent from the outside.

20 wears me out. And for some reason we haven't had the energy we had on our winning streak the last two games. Maston has to play out of his mind for us to win and he didn't today. 20 wears me out

Who would those be. ?

Lecomte couldn't hit anything, McClure's lost confidence in his shot, Lindsey was in foul trouble, and Nuni has been a non-factor the last few games. Production from the outside was minimal and none of our big guys are looking to go inside out. Losing Freeman and Mitchell, plus Jolly missing half the year, we just don't have any depth for outside scoring. At this point, it's pretty much Lecomte or bust, with occasional spurts from McClure or Nuni.

Fans give up so easily. It's why they are fans and players are players.

Both teams fighting for a spot in the tourney. Huge game tomorrow, it's time to see what we're made of. TCU is recovering from losing Fisher, so it'll be a tough one. We need Big Jo and Maston to dominate again. Our guards couldn't possibly shoot worse than they did at home against TCU...
In the aftermath of this game, please present any credible evidence in support of your opening statement. Thank you.

Plus I'm 55.

Since my detached retina surgery 5 years ago I can't hit a shot. Guess I would fit in with our guards.

Unfortunately, I have zero evidence to support my opening statement... Our guards managed to prove me wrong today.

Interesting all of the crowing towards me last week, when the comeback was far from complete
whether this team makes the NCAA tourney or not, you are a fool
