The three balls not falling were killer, but seven steals by one Frog was almost as disappointing.

He’s a freshman.

Without someone to really take the pressure off. He's being asked to do a ton.

 

[CyberJJJ]

4-5 not including the times he was fouled. And the first time he went to the line he was 0-2. Brickfest.

hit his next two. Higher scoring percent than the rest of our offense

 

[IFA Cyclone]

Why is no one talking about the fact that our “Bigs”. (GC, TE, RJ, and JK) had only 6 points and even worse a combined 7 rebounds! Does anyone else see the problem with that?

The worst performance of the night goes to Gabe.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

It’s a race to 5 more conference wins, I think that get us in, unsure where they come from.

Needed this one to get there

 

[clonedude]

He’s a freshman.

Thanks for the info….. who knew?

He definitely has a lot of potential, but he isn’t having a great season…. and there are plenty of freshman around the country that are.

He’s fine…. just not as great as some have made him out to be. He still has NBA potential though, so he will be a lot of fun to watch grow up.

Is Grill better the second time around? I don’t see it. Got burned on d, one time no idea where the ball was and can’t hit the broad side of a barn as a shooter.

 

[madguy30]

Well, there's the random loss at Hilton I was predicting when everyone thought we'd go 8-1 at home.

.500 isn't happening now unless they can pull off a win at Okie State this week. This team is NIT bound unless something changes we'll be lucky to get 3 or 4 more wins.

Kind of a victim of success since that result would be terrific vs. preseason expectations.

Missouri playing Alabama at the moment, if anyone wants to do some scouting on them before our game next week. Missouri is holding tough against bama on the road, so even next week looks like it’ll be a grinder.. So don’t let Mizzou’s losing record fool ya

 

[Cyrealist]

TJ needs to draw up plays to move the ball inside. It sucks having zero inside threat (I'm sorry Conditt and Jones are ass), so we have to work to get the back court inside. Every single game we've lost this year is because we've relied to heavily on the jump shots.

Jone and Conditt aren't dominant offensive players, but they're not going to put up any numbers when they're limited to setting screens. They've both been effective at times. But I agree with your main point: passing the ball around the perimeter and then putting up a contested three never works. We had some good inbounds plays. We need to have some designed plays in the halfcourt.

If they lose to Missouri next week then time to shut it down for the season. They are one of the worst Power 5 teams in college this year.

 

[cyclones7]

This team will be last in the big 12. We can't score. Not going to change. The other teams are just better...

Have you seen Missouri lately. They will beat us.

We don’t need set play offense from the bigs. We need them hitting the bunnies off the pick and roll and putbacks

that halftime show sucked

I will take either. Just a semblance of movement besides jacking 3s.

 

[Cyclones1969]

I hate the look when we don’t have either Hunter or Jackson on the court

what I don’t understand is I why they don’t run more through Kunz.

he’s skilled enough to facilitate from the arc in

 

[ca4cy]

Shooting/lack of driving was bad but that makes it even more crucial that we take care of the ball. How many times did we get our pocket picked or throw it away 25'+ from the basket. That **** has to stop.

I've definitely got a bit of a "we are who we are" feeling at this point but we need to keep improving. It ain't gettin any easier.

Been searching twitter trying to find out what the heck it was
