Heat check a little short
-
Score was closer than this game ever felt
-
still a chance. An unlikely chance, but still…
-
So we tied for lead in conference now with 2 left barring any miracles?
-
Braun had Och in the corner…athleticism hurting him

1/2 game down now technically. Equal losses now, but Baylor has one more win.
-

-

-

-
Why was the clock running on a made shot?

We lost like 10 seconds
-
Gotta hit FT.
-
natives getting nervous
-
2 poss. Game
-
Can we get those 10 seconds back?
-
Good foul, KJ. That was going to be another dunk
-
Jamie spends more time on the floor than Weber, and that’s not easy to beat
-
Lets see if TCU starts to tighten.
-
Yesufu is down
-
You couldn’t ask for a better look for a 45% shooter
-
Wish we would have played them in January instead
-
Oof.

This isn’t the postponed game, that’s Thursday nights game.
-
Micah Peavy can come play here next season if he wants
-
Man oh man.
-
Baugh kid is clutch from the line.
-
@approxinfinity he’s still the best shooter We are getting beat and they are shooting 20% from three
Tcu just grown man’d us just like usc…we will go 5 losses in a row in the ncaa tourney by double digits at this rate.
2020 obviously screwed us
When Bill brings back McCormick and starts him and Juan next year might as well not watch because Och will be gone and this team minus Och is scary to think about
-
Blew it
Good night
-
In the immortal words of Lloyd Bridges, I picked the wrong time to stop sniffing glue
-
@Kcmatt7 won’t know the system or defend properly so he won’t get but 5 minutes a game
-
Well see ya next time around.
-
I just don’t see much toughness with this team. Gonna have to win our last two now. Put ourselves in a difficult spot.
-
Back on the treadmill Thursday. RCJH
-
Not sure the content we get is worth paying for espn+ anymore.

You sound like parrot, get some new material. All of your posts are 1 of 3 things, find something different to bitch because that’s all you do. Dejuan sucks, Self screwed the team up, round of 32 exit, that’s all you ever say.
-
KU shot like shit tonight period.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 let me know when it’s not applicable
-
Goodnight, all. Should be a much better result Thursday.

If you say so Toucan since you’re the greatest basketball mind walking the earth.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 about time you got something right

To summarize… Dave missed more bunnies than TCU made 3pt shots.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Put him on ignore. He only shows up to troll.

that’s cause there isn’t any toughness on this team. A big part of rebounding as one aspect is all about want to - -who on this team wants to - -cause it get’s pretty physical - -who on this team likes physicality? - Tell me

You’re right.
We had a brief discussion yesterday about what sorts of teams we’d like to avoid in the tourney. Some mentioned athletic bigs, others mentioned a big PG. For me, it’s all dependent on how physical the game is allowed to get.
We saw it against Texas and against TCU last night that when we get pushed around we can’t or won’t push back. The only fire I saw was the :26 seconds of Zack when he got in the face of the TCU player that raked him across the face. Then he had to leave to get his wounds tended to.
Other than that, I saw lots of pointless dribbling, even from Och who I suppose was trying to create his shot, but still. I saw CB almost afraid to take a shot and Harris was unable or unwilling to drive among the trees. Wilson seemed a bit aggressive, but you can’t do it alone. We were timid, no doubt about it.
I don’t want to make this a referendum on Remy, but he’s been back two games and we’ve lost both. I’ve gone on record that I like Remy, but coming back this late in the season when we seemingly had found a groove is more of a distraction than a help, IMO.
Anyway, I hope Zack gets rewarded for his :26 seconds of aggressiveness with some substantial PT on Thursday.
Two winnable home games coming up and we can claim another title. Hope we dig deep and fight for it, because I didn’t see much fight in the game last night.

I’ve mentioned different kinds of toughness before. Mental and physical.
I thought we were pretty good in both areas in Waco, but we went cold and lost.
I missed the second half of last night’s game (lucky me). But I imagine we just played flat and without inspiration. The first half was flat.
I’m an old fart. A baby boomer. We come ready for everything. I’m even psyched to go to the dentist.
I will never understand college basketball today and watching players not prepared to leave blood on the court. Do they not realize that this is the legacy they will leave behind? Imagine carrying this all forward in life where people (and you) talk about your playing days and what will they say?
BTW: I’m not just directing this at our guys. It’s a phenomenon all through college basketball. I like our team and think they do better than many teams out there… just not enough to be consistently dominant.
I’m holding onto hope for March… just hoping this all clicks inside of them and they figure out how to come out with a burning, relentless desire every game!
-
@tis4tim @drgnslayr All great points. To my simple brain, it seems when we play a team that really defends aggressively, especially the 3 pt line, we struggle a bit.
Even more so when Och is bottled up.
To me, that’s when we really need a guy like Remy to step up and break down the defense.
-
I don’t know enough psychology to dispute what you say. I don’t think we play flat but we seem to play tentative and confused about how to score. It’s not being inept but more like a lack of aggression. We seem to lack sharpness in our passing and forget the fact we are supposed to score. Don’t bemoan a trey attempt early in possessions. I thought CB passed up several open looks and Daj says I ain’t gonna take a shot and chance a miss. J3L is an example of just let it fly along with Och. Harris needs to keep driving down hill and chuck it up all the time. I don’t see them acting discouraged but maybe reluctant to play freely. We seem on the brink of being blown out tooooo much for my liking. The Kentucky and Texas games show that many teams can smack us around and make us like it. I don’t see an answer at this time.
YUCK!

Now I know you’re lying! J/K, @drgnslayr. Thanks for the chuckle. I needed that this morning.
