Way too easy.... should have never allowed a layup after playing great D for the last couple minutes....

That would have been sweet. He should have taken the first time... he would have been fouled.

That sucks... that would have been awesome.

Good to see the hustle... but shouldn't have lacked it for the first 30 minutes. You could see we wore them out once we picked up play. Had we done that for the first 30 minutes we would have won by 10+ points.

That game was really disappointing. They did not play like a well coached team.

First win at Hilton since 1978. We missed winning by less than a tenth of a second. Glad to see Dodie rise to the top. The final lineup is our best lineup. We have no bigs holding their own. Too bad we could not have a transfer come in at mid season as a big. Gray is a backup, Jiri is a backup, and Marden rides the bench on an average Big 12 team. Taggart would not have dressed.

13-14 win team at this level of play. No NIT. McD better take the reins. Notice that Jiri did not fire up threes like last loss.

Really good game by Dodie; maybe he will start for Taylor next game.

The story in our 2 losses: experienced players vs. inexperienced players. Nice to see the guys not quit though.

I honestly think he should. Taylor is not playing team ball, and I'm starting the believe the only way McDermott can get it through is skull is if he takes away playing time.

Don't be so quick to bag on Taylor, he won the Minnesota game for us. He just needs to calm down.

And even in that game, I knew he was going to be as much of a curse as a blessing. I remember posting something to that effect. :)

He's out of control, turns the ball over way too often, and takes awful shots at the worst times. Something's got to change and I don't care if it means benching our best player to make it happen.
