Who the **** is this Baugh guy? He's killing us.

And basketball is just really hard when you can't make shots. I don't even this it's TCU's defense. We're just really off today. Hope it picks up soon because this 11 points looks like about 20 right now.

Yikes this is one of the games we absolutely can not lose. To be fair, TCU has made some end of shot clock contested shots. I don’t think they’ll keep that up. Plus I think our guys will at least be less sloppy with the rock. I’m guessing TJ is tearing them new ******** right now lol

To have a chance we’re going to have to force turnovers to get some transition baskets. I don’t see us shooting our way out of it today.

Way up there
They know exactly what we are doing on both ends. our defense has played well, most of their points were on easy, open buckets. They are getting the shots they want. We are getting open looks but can't hit them, a recipe for a bad day.

This game is a turning point for Coach TJ and the team. You can see the players are frustrated with their inability to score. He is going to have to really find a way to keep them together. I'm not faulting the effort, defense is hustling, but after multiple passes and 25 seconds of defense, three different TCU players get an open look from '3' and they nail it. We have nobody making those shots. The offense needs to change.... as in what we're doing. Brockington is pretty much going one-on-one anyway, which he can do in any offense. Get Enaruna and Kunc down by the basket and forget the non-threat pivoting for 5 seconds high post.

This offense SUCKS. Hard to remember ever watching a worse shooting team.
How did TJ look at this group and think he could compete on offense in the Big 12? I get the culture thing but you still have to put a decent shooting group together.

This offense is genuinely terrible. How many more turnovers come from the high post action with the 5 than easy buckets?

This statement is just me being a dickhead, but if I hear again about how hard the team practices when they're short 3 scholarship players, likely wearing down, and haven't looked sharp on offense in a month, I'm going to lose my mind.
