Go on the road and let the other team shoot over 50% is a recipe for a loss

Refs can put this one on their resumes and point to it with pride. They earned their paycheck .

Kansas gets their B12 title @ Tech then Baylor loses their chance @ Tech so Tech can get into the tourney. I liked Tech's team this year but this 2nd half was absolute BS. We sucked the last several minutes but before that we got jobbed.

Whatever makes you guys feel better. In a game we had control of, But decided to change the way we played in the second half. And again go away from POST first offense. Just don't blame the refs for motely, king and wainwright playing like crap tonight.

We played like chumps tonight . Very disappointed in Motley. King played like old King tonight. Manu without the tech was good. Mason provided a spark.
King played like he's played the majority of our conference games.


True. King has been a liability more tha n an asset

I don't believe Manu & Ish have fouled out all year, and somehow they both foul out in the same game? What are the odds.

Obviously some fouls at the end to put them at the line, but Tech shot 45 free throws that game.

We shot a grand total of 5 free throws in our last home game.

The schtick is old and tired. Shows up any time he can bash or criticize Drew. He has gone more passive aggressive though.

So much for a conference title. Just have to be satisfied with a 2 seed come tournament time.

Could be a lot worse. I guess.

Damned Tceh tards...

I'm not disagreeing with your point, but the fact you only post when we're losing makes you come across as a giant ass-licking chode . Why don't you just sit on the sidelines for a bit and let the real fans vent.

If we were going to win the conference , we would win games like this. Yes we played a scrappy team who needed to win on the road but dammit we have better players. A lot better players. For the most part , our Big's were too soft and Manu is the only guard who can consistently shoot. Essentially, the game was over when Manu fouled out.

Well Kansas is your Big 12 champs and a big part of that is due to crooked officiating.

I'd bet on a respect level from refs we hover around the 100's.

Reason for the 2nd half is because the refs decided to make the game all about them.

If you go on the road and take 27 and miss 20 three-pointers, then you weren't up to winning a road game.

At the end of the day we went 3-1 vs OkState and Tech. That's great.

We foul some of the least in the NCAA.... yet Tech shoots 48 free throws. The 4th and 5th fouls on Manu were ridiculous.
