His back might be acting up. He's also had a tough time getting open the last 3 games and you could see the frustration in being blanketed even then (which I think contributed to the Texas undercut which was 100% avoidable).

Hard to attribute how much of his difficulties are due to the back, or to know when it started, but I'd say it's definitely bothering him today.

Ok now you're just trolling.

KU loses by 23 to TCU after losing to KSU.

I've broken down the film and understand what we need to get over the hump against KU - purple uniforms. One of you in Central Iowa can let the staff know.

Holmes has been fine, he took a couple shots that I thought were a little early in the shot clock but he did well running the point.

Watson hung him out to dry on that turnover also when he got caught in mid air.

You could call a foul on every possession in college hoops.

A game between any 2 good to very good teams should never have a foul discrepancy like this game or the first half of the TCU game.

I'm okay with a home court advantage getting some calls for the home team, but this is ridiculous.
Disagree, foul discrepancies should be expected. Style of play will always dictate number of fouls.

He’s made some great assists, shots not going down, +13 for the first half. Mixed bag on shot selection.
I have that moron in ignore. Did he actually say Holmes wasn’t doing well? That poster has proven they have no basketball IQ. Swear they look at fg percentage as the end all be all.

Ok wtf is going on with Kansas getting embarrassed like that at home?

They don't lose often there, but 6 of their last 7 losses are by double digits.

Goes to prove the line about having to be 10+ better than KU to win there. If you're not, refs will jump in to save them.

You saying he's a dirty player because he's getting frustrated he's not scoring as much? This is a stupid take.

I didn't say dirty player, but you could see his frustration (on push offs trying to get separation) the entire game. When you watch the play it's obvious Grill KNEW he was there. Now, I don't think Grill wanted him to go down like that, but if you were to ask me if I thought the contact was avoidable and if it was purposeful my honest answer would be yes.

Does that make him a "dirty" player? I don't think so, but since you like putting words in my mouth maybe I should be asking you how I feel?

Yeah, pretty much.

Probably ignoring is the best option
