If we pull this out and Lindsey & King get all these minutes it might be a blessing in disguise down the stretch. If not, Freeman should feel really bad.

Can you review the restricted area call? I didn't realize you could call for a replay this early in the game.

The stat line on fouls is a mess. We are literally on track to foul out the whole team. Tech on cruise control. Two of their big scorers have no fouls!!

Screw it.

It's 8 on 5 right now.

Won't bother me that much if we do lose.

Hard to overcome that kind of blatant officiating bias.

Not just officials.

It's an entire CONFERENCE against Baylor.

FACT.

It's mostly been us. Lindsey, Manu and Motley with four fouls in a row that were uncalled for.

We are seeing live why Kansas wins the Big 12 and Baylor can't.

I'm still hoping we can step up, but we need King or another guard to get some buckets and attack or create. To much standing around the perimeter while they collapse in the lane.

I can't remember the last time we made a 3.

Refs have nothing to do with it. Play defense like we did in the first half and we win this going away.


And stop shooting 3s
