Even without seeing the rest of the box score, I'd bet 100% of the time on the team with six more threes, shooting a better FG percentage, taking more shots, and outrebounding the opponent. Weird game that it didn't work out this time.

Doubled them up on TO's. Glad Hield got stripped by Burton after the unecessary dunk in the final minute.

Loved the Prohm technical, way overdue IMO. Hated the Nader charge call, even Miles Simon knew that call was trash. Respect, but respectfully HATE Buddy Hield. UNrespectfully hate Ryan Spangler, always have and always will. That Woodard character is a close 2nd on my unrespectfully hate list.

End of the day, really too bad nobody could hit shots toward the end besides Georges. 4th foul call on Georges on Spangler with 4 min. left was total BS and sort of nail in coffin. A healthy Monte probably the ultimate difference in this game. Please be ready for the NCAA's, guys.

I thought Nader's 3 when it was only a 4 point game sealed the deal. Really only needed 2 and a stop. Instead, rushed things for 3. Not surprising, but still amazing in its own right.

Yeah, it's almost like something else besides those things decided the game.

Played hard, just not always smart...that makes us 3-8 against the top half of the Big 12 this year. Hope we can string a run together in the tournament or it'll go down as a very underwhelming season.

Not playing smart is maybe the most consistent thing this team does. Just a weird group.

People are complaining about the refs...there were iffy calls, but being disjointed on offense, and OU punking ISU to open up the 2nd half may have made a difference.

Well played, but you can't beat the Best player and worst officials at the same time.

We repeat our M.O. that we can't win against good competition outside Hilton.

i predicted this loss, and I also predicted a lead 32 loss in the NCAA tourney. Please let me be wrong about one of those, I want to have something to root for after the opening weekend is over.

Hard fought game, I thought the officials could have been better, but we just didn't make enough big plays to come through in the end. Same ol' same ol' all year long. I think we'll be a 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament. We'll win one game but won't make it out of the first weekend. Just don't have the depth and/or luck this year.

I don't post often, but seeing McKay out at the cowboy bar in Power & Light after the game really ****** me off. Is that unreasonable? Was the whole team out there blowing off some steam? Because if it was just him....

This must be the rest everyone is raving about the team getting.

I'll assume this to be BS

He had nothing to hang his head about, and I don't expect the whole team to just sit in their hotel and cry about it.

Jameel is a social guy. If I was in that spot, I'd love to go out and hang out around so many loyal fans.
