I’d love to be wrong, but I don’t believe they win another game, barring a really fortunate matchup in the round of 64. Just an endless string of lazy, panicked decisions for weeks in a row now. They are missing leadership in the worst way. The KU game in Hilton was fun, but an anomaly. Even the TCU win in Hilton was a really sloppy effort outside Jaz going off for 70%. They lucked out that TCU was even sloppier (and down two starters).

Oh well, this group has been fun this season. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for a miraculous recovery.

maybe some new lineups or rotations. you have nothing to lose. more tre king. tell watson and kunc to go score some buckets. see what eli king and ward can contribute. rest a couple guys who have been playing big minutes.

Rest may help but they also have 3 days off between games.

Otherwise just 'mixing it up' doesn't really define a good 'in-game' coach.

Texas shooting an insane amount from three, we insane amount of turnovers, and down a starter. I have concerns about this team, but not sure this first half tells us any more than we already know.

You need Sling orange and the sports add on.

there is a 3 day free trial, but the deal is only available if you sign up on your phone it appears. You can then sign in on TV etc after you get acct set up.
Thanks. I already had that trial and didn't bother to fool Sling with another ID. I downloaded the Varsity app and was rearing to go for old school radio. First sentence from Walters, "well....you got to chip away." 18 pts down at the time. Great.

Well that's an overreaction. There are no road games in the tournament

doing the same things that arent working sure does define a stubborn one though

Its not like teams having all-season nights from 3 against us is a new thing though. That's become a trend, which indicates its something in our defense making that more likely.

Would love hear why our coaching staff disagrees with this.

Because he's not a center? And fouls a lot from the 4?

I'd imagine from their perspective of months of working with the team they have a rationale.

Well - At least after this one they can’t say ISU blew another double digit lead on the road.

Somehow I can see ISU coming all the way back, get a double digit lead and then blowing that in some epic way. But I've been drinking tonight, so that may be driving those feelings.
