16-3 run. Wow.

 

[Rogue52]

Can the Prohm “Give the other team a chance to set their offense” timeout just die a long cold death?? I bet it is an 80%+ efficiency of ending in points for the other team in the next possession.

 

[Cardinal2001]

Catch and shoot, Donovan!

 

[ISUChippewa]

4 consecutive turnovers, or close enough to being consecutive, after we got up 10.

Grrrr....

 

[CYDJ]

Can't fault the effort, but Beverly is not a P5 player

He's playing with whiplash from the Osetkowski bumps. Which no one seems to have the balls to call.

 

[scottwv]

Really missing solomon. His absence has been more noticeable than NWBs.

 

[FinalFourCy]

I’m surprised we had Lard and Beverly in on the last possession.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Hope I'm wrong but I think Texas wins by 10. Had our chance to put them down 15 and pissed it away. Texas isn't going to shoot that bad in the 2nd half.

F off. Hate this **** attitude. And I am posting from Sprint.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

What is displacement IF NOT what the hell OSETKOWSKI is doing down low. Are you allowed to knock the man out of the way anymore?

If you're talking about the play where Beverly got boxed out out of bound with the ball in his hands, and saved the ball into the Texas fans behind the bench, I have no answer to your question. If that's not a displacement foul, I'm not sure I know what one is.

Unfortunately this team is this team, for better or worse. Remarkably impressive alternating with really bad stretches.

We have the ability to win this game, but we need to completely stop the turnovers and have to hit the boards way way harder.

 

[67CY]

They go on a 16 to 3 run, we blow a 10 point lead and the only time out Prohm takes is after we score

Amazing how bad this team always is in last minutes of every first half.

And to start the 2nd half. Right now iI fully expect a big TX run to start out.

 

[BeneventiCy28]

Final 3 minutes of the half --- seems like we've seen that movie before.

Maybe we got the bad mojo out of the way so we don’t play nonexistent basketball the first 4 minutes of the second half.

 

[cyclonedave25]

Beverly is getting destroyed.
DJ needs to shoot more.
Stop turning the ball over and grab a defensive rebound.

 

[IASTATE07]

4 consecutive turnovers, or close enough to being consecutive, after we got up 10.

Grrrr....

Absolutely brutal. have 3 seconds on the shot clock and we foul 70 feet from the basket.

 

[cyclone87]

Same thing, forced shots/bad decision making in the last few mins.

Beverly needs to just plant his feet on the post feed. He’ll get blasted with a shoulder and draw a charge.

Agreed. I tend to credit Texas with hustling to collect those turnovers, but that has definitely been the difference maker.

All Jeff needs to do is flop and they'd call it. Osetkowski getting away with murder in the last 10 min of that half. He is on my personal Big 12 1st Team All Hated list.
