All that matters now is NCAA tourney matchups. Unless they get an incredible run of good matchups, I just can't imagine four wins in a row to make the final four. Could happen though, you never know... But there's not much else to look forward to in the regular season, just hope for 10-8 and go from there.

Monte's last shot decision making has become very bad. Either drive to the basket or get it to your All-American Niang to let him create a better shot. So frustrating to watch Monte settle every time at the end of regulation to win it.

Last year Niang would have the ball in his hands at the top of the key for the mismatch. Why Prohm doesn't try that baffles me!

Defensive game plan and effort was the worst all season. No idea what the hell we were thinking. We had a blue print that worked last weekend from Texas Tech. But instead of allowing 66 like they did we give up 100. Lol.

Baylor doesn't deserve to have good athletes, especially bigs. Those "fans" are pathetic. Real Sun Belt level attendance in Waco. Put a Prince or Gaithers esque player on our team and we win by double digits. McKay was brutal and the starters did everything they could. This has to be killing Naz to see our bench drop 0.

I wish there was a stat on 2nd chance points allowed per game because it sure would be interesting to see. I guarantee we would rank in the 200s nationally. Infuriating to watch us get one, two, three, and sometimes four stops in a possession before letting the other team burry a three. You'll win very few close games doing that.

The deficiencies and weaknesses on this team are obvious. Lack of depth and zero post play (on both sides of the court). Unfortunately those things can't be fixed at this juncture of the season. This team is what it is (we'll be hearing that quite a bit from here on out).

1st Prohm needs a tailor...

Once he passes the eye test... I'll start to belive I'm him...
Until then we are in trouble as him in charge of our basketball program.

Just looking for an NCAA tourney bid at this point, and when it ends, it will be fine.

Likely a sad/abrupt ending for Niang's career, but this group just isn't good or smart enough for something like the tourney where handling of late game situations is just a tad important.

Seth Greenberg ripped on McKay for not buying into Prohm's system in the post game analysis. Does this light a fire or just fuel the flames of the meltdown?

This team has the talent and character to overcome the critics and make a deep run in March if they choose to. Coach Prohm is not the problem, this team can either choose to unite and prove they are the team everyone thought they were to start the season or just lie in the fetal position and make excuses. The character of this team is in front of the jury right now and how they respond the rest of the season will determine their legacy.

I would have put Carter in.

Told him to hack the **** out of Motley. Swipe the nuts. Make him work for position and then swipe the nuts again. Then hack his face when he goes up. Get Motley twitching real good. I like that strategy better then letting him baby hook from 5 feet.

Matt Thomas 1-6 three pointers.....so sick of the commentators saying he is a "good shooter" just because he is a honkie.
He did play good defense though....not bagging on him. just miss Naz or what this type of team needs. A shooter.

I agree with this. We should talk about the real problem, his suits are terrible.

I'd rather watch a less talented team that actually works hard on defense and the glass than this group...

If we would've worked at all on the defensive end tonight we would've won that game...same could be said for the game in Hilton against Baylor...what an underachieving season.

Ernst doesn't even suit up.
