I wish we had Boozer right now. This game had his name written all over it. Ugly for scoring, but he doesn't need to score. He would have provided athleticism and yet more hustle. And more breath for Scott.

They got in some trouble and either had to go to a short bench or be less aggressive. Depth matters. Especially when you don't have a bunch of studs in your starting lineup. They get away with it because there starting 5 can make up for other deficiencies. We can't.

Just watching him try to hobble into the huddle, he really wanted this one, too. I felt terrible for him.
And that marks yet another time this year that I've been all about Charles Boozer. I never thought it would happen, but the improvement and heart this guy has shown really grow on a fan.

There were lots of empty seats in even all of the occupied sections, save CA and the students behind them. In the west end parquet, there were more empty seats than occupied ones...

Normally at Hilton if a top 10 team came in the place would be packed, loud and good for about 8 points for the good guys. This is sounding more and more like McCarney's last year.

Outside of this website, there really isn't a lot of complaining, or as much as one would think after reading this site. It is posters on this site over estimating talent on this team, and I've said on here before, it's also posters on this site with a low bball IQ. Honestly, would Ham and Lucca or Scott C be starting on another Big 12 team?
Pieces are coming together, it's just not all there. We will probably have a more complete team next year, even with the loss of CB and Gilstrap.
Quit complaining for the time being and support this team. I agree with this, but don't really expect big things next year. Don't get me wrong, it could be a decent year next year, but I believe the following year is the one.
CC will be the PG and will have played a year with Oliver, Phillips and Ejim, another year with Hambone and Scotty, plus a more experienced Railly, and this is just who we 'know' will be here. Who knows who follows, but I really like the guard depth being assembled. Reminds me of how Baylor turned the corner.

That's not necessarily normal attendance anywhere these days. Most every team nationally is struggling with attendance, no matter the opponent.

The Students didn't even fill up the lower bowl. Not a knock on Cyclone Alley, just as many season ticket holders missing. It's just easier to see in the Alley because everyone moves to the front so the empty seats are all in one section.
