It really seems like we need a big who can score inside with regularity. Once adversity hits we don't have that go-to player inside to get us buckets. It puts a lot of pressure on our other players to maintain composure the entire game which we just can't do right now.

Losing because of talent is one thing. Losing because of lack of focus/effort is another whether you're team is great or terrible. Embarrassing performance tonight.

OU busting out the 'hey hey, goodbye' chant, don't hear that much this side of the 90's.

Exactly, either u make them or you don't. This isn't middle school


I don't know, maybe something like making them shoot free throws until they hit 30 straight with a bunch of distractions in their face. Even if it takes them all night to do it. Sooner or later they will get the message that they need to fu@@ing concentrate and use technique on the free throw line.

Based on our road performance, MAYBE we win at TCU? We need to make major improvements to win any more than that.

We will win out at home and win at Texas, KSU, and TCU. I choose to believe this because I still love this team, and being negative makes me feel more ******.

THis game was lost due to rebounding and horrible defense inside in the second half.

Deandre Kane or Melvin Ejim would have punched someone on this team in the face by now.

We're no match for KU...just hoping for a 3 or 6 seed in tournament now. Pressure is off for rest of regular season. Hold serve at home, win at K-State, show up for the BIG 12 Tourney, and avoid Kentucky in the NCAAs. Maybe we squeak out another Sweet 16. Could be worse...but it doesn't feel like it.
