Niang just told Eric they came into the game thinking they wouldn't have to play hard to win. That says a lot to me.

2 thoughts.

First - that's the second time they said that this year. Not cute or funny.
Second - let's shut down CF after a big week so their heads don't get too big. I'm 100% serious.

Combination of poor defense, stupid passes, and Baylor shooting lights out. Bet $10 that Baylor doesnt hit nearly that many threes in their next game or two.

Yeah, because the next team they play might chose to defend the 3 point line.

This site is great, we lose 1 game to a ranked team, and everyone thinks this team is done and wont do anything the rest of the season. Then, we get a win or two, and we are championship contenders. Basketball is a crazy game everyone. Baylor was on, we werent, its as simple as that. We all know we are a really good team, but like every other team in the nation, we have our weaknesses, and Baylor did a great job exploiting them and capitalizing on them. Everyone just go to sleep, and you will feel better tomorrow. Its just basketball, not something that should ruin your day/week.

End rant.

(Im upset as well, but Im not going to overreact to this game.)

Love the rah rah, But realistically we will probably lose Saturday on the arguably 3 hardest court to win on in the league.
2 losses and we drop to maybe 20-25 this week.

then we get to play TCU on the road in a HS GYM and then OU on short notice at home.

I agree kstate will be tough. But you are basing this on a ****ty game where 20 year Olds cracked when a lot of pressure got put on their shoulders all of a sudden. just like ku did the week before after we showed up on the road. It ain't easy when one team has a ton of pressure and Baylor is just playing for fun.

If we continue to refuse to play defense, especially on the perimeter and we face a good shooting team in the first round, we'll be one and done.
sure could happen but to say it will is stupid. It is still a very unlikely scenario.

I have had more rational conversations with a teenage girl that just got dumped by her boyfriend. I am not sure why I bother. It is absolutly mind blowing how reactionary people are.

this is on Hoiberg....what the **** was he thinking with that ********* lineup at the under 8 timeout. I don't know what he was thinking.


I was saying same thing my friend at the game. No primary ball handler and your best post player out at the same time. I get that Mckay had picked up his 3rd foul, but with under 8 minutes you trust to keep him out there until he picks up #4.


Very disappointed in Houge tonight.

I once enjoyed your posts but the last month you have turned into a complete jerk. You Ok? Maybe you should get some help I mean if this is your outlet cool. Rather you be a **** here than beat your kids. But I am guessing you act like this beyond CF. Anyway, whatever is going on with you that has you acting this way hope it gets better. Because I really hope it Isnt college basketball because if it was, man that would just suck to have your self worth defined by a bunch of 22 year old kids.

I don't think it's so much the line-up as it is Fred's confidence in the guys to just play through runs. To me, CFH's biggest weakness is the usage of TOs. When we got that lead, we knew Baylor's only chance back in the game was with 3s, and being they were at 50% at that point in the game, after they hit the 2nd of the 5, we needed a TO and needed to change up the Def. Even in the few time we actually guarded the 3, most of the time our guys were still standing at or behind the 3 point line, giving plenty of space to get the shot off. At that moment, considering how they'd shot the 3 throughout the game AND the first game in Baylor, it was time to face guard and give up a few drives. This has been consistent with CFH, look at the KU and OU games when we had early leads, didn't adjust or call TOs and the other team got on a run. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's a bad coach, he's been awesome, just pointing out one of the weaknesses I've noticed.

I'm bumping last year's BU@ISU game thread.

Lots of the same themes:
Poor defense
Lack of focus at the end of the game
Lack of crowd
Outcoached
Poor game management


My point: Maybe there's nothing wrong with this team. Maybe Baylor just has our number
