Don't feel good about Saturday

 

[tim_redd]

Completely unprepared and not ready to play a game for the 2nd game in a row.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Poor games from Niang and Ejim. Not likely to happen again so just gotta move on and get ready for a big one. Our turn for senior day.

 

[isuno1fan]

We are going to limp into the tournament it appears.

 

[ISpyCy]

Better for Ejim and Niang to have their worst games of the night tonight, rather than in the tournament.

 

[Skyh13]

LOL. Did you watch the game? That was sad.

Yeah, I gotta agree, this was pretty bad. Both the KSU game and this one were really pathetic for what is supposed to be a top 25 team.

 

[CycloneErik]

LOL. Did you watch the game? That was sad.

I watched every bit. Two key guys struggled, we had a shot, didn't get it done on the road.
It's not exactly something to be alarmed about.
That said, y'all carry on with the freakout.

 

[Rabbuk]

Cyclone alley should issue an apology to people with eyes for this.

 

[Stewo]

Solid fail tonight. Really impressed how they sucked in every aspect. Well, except for leaving Heslip open behind the arc.

 

[Althetuna]

This 3 game bubble team tour is getting old quickly. Pathetic loss, shouldn't of happened.

I'll catch grief for it, but I agree with you. Don't feel good about KC either.

I am optimistic about the NCAA though.

And Cherry with the doosh dunk at the end

 

[besserheimerphat]

Baylor is a Top 50 RPI team before this game, and 2/3 of our best players couldn't hit anything tonight. Niang only played like 5 minutes of the 1st half. We had the worst start of probably any game this season, committing like 5 turnovers in the first 7 possessions. We were still in it right up to the end.

 

[F5cy]

The easiest solution to our losses is to figure out how in the hell to start the game with more than one bucket in the first 5 minutes. We start games so slowly and are constantly digging ourselves out of a hole. We'd have a poor record this year if it weren't for our comeback wins.

It's alarming when the team plays like this more often than not.

 

[Cyzmatrs]

Even though the 3's where falling, still the worst game we played all year.

 

[Thomasrickj]

I want to know how we win a single game in the tournament when we can't seem to play D or even play normal on the road? Hopefully we get a high enough seed that we avoid a 12 seed or lower, because if we do watch out ISU.

EDIT: When I say high enough seed I am talking about the team we are playing. If we are a 5 seed or lower I don't know if I like our chances to win.

Honestly, a 5 seed is a stretch now. This team is playing like a bunch of idiots and doesn't seem to care.

 

[atlantacyclone]

Playing like we have lately we have three games left this season... Let's hope this is a wakeup call!

 

[cyclonespiker33]

After that dunk and the near intentional goaltend at the buzzer, I pray that we play them in KC.

 

[CyArob]

Missed opportunity but certainly not the end of the world. Really need to win on Saturday to stay in contention for a 3 seed in the NCAA tourney. Right now ISU is a solid 4.
