Yeah, that's unexplainable. It's not like they're spreading out the defense, since the D knows what we need.

Oh, I think it's pretty explainable. :skeptical:

4 years under McDermott.

0 post seasons.
0 Big twelve tourney wins (0-3. Will be 0-4 when we play the #2 seed)
0 winning seasons.

In order for that to happen, we have to win the opener.

 

[Ciclone]

What sticks with me in this one are two plays down the stretch. SC missing an unbelievably wide open three and Brackins deciding to take a poor one a couple possessions later. In both cases we miss, they get the rebound and are at the line shooting free throws again.

 

[CycloneErik]

I think it is more on the FTs. No excuse for how bad those have been this year.

In most of our recent games, those have been much better. Our 3-pt shooting collapsed with that German dude.

 

[gocubs2118]

In other news, I smashed my first beer can on my head after DG missed the 3. I'm pretty sure I won't be doing that again, as I have a spliting headache right now.

 

[Final42b]

no kool-aid here......... need a new coach and some one who can get Big 12 players

I dpnt know Gill, CB, Ham, and DG all looked like legit Big 12 players. We are just freaking cursed thats all there is to it.

 

[lomashad]

Cant wait till this dreadful season is over!!!!!! Who actually thought with 5 min left we would win? The guys played hard, a few bad calls and another player having a career game against us. With all that, FT's would have won it for us.

 

[cstrunk]

I will give credit, we did play 40 minutes today.

Yeah, the sad thing is it wasn't enough to beat one of the worst Big 12 teams. That's how bad WE are... :no:

 

[Wesley]

We've allowed how many 30 point scorers? Pathetic.

DG did not pursue Higgins very well. Ultimately the poor defense led to the loss.

 

[marothisu]

Our 5th conference loss this season by 5 points or less..7 overall for the season. Also our 10th single digit loss of the season (8 in conference play).

ugh? out coached in those situations usually

What? Did you watch the first 8minutes of the game when Colorado reeled off 23 points on 9-11 shooting, where every single shot was wide open, and we were beat down the court repeatedly for easy buckets?

 

[IcSyU]

Guards win games. Our shooting guard is in Ames.

Just because they make some doesn't mean we're not playing. They were just playing gooder. Effort seemed to be there.

They weren't better today and were a clear difference. We can also "blame" Lucca for the 3pt issues, but FTs have been bad most of the year. 3 pointers are a risk-reward. FTs are free points.

Either way, we need to hit more shots.

We agree. But today was abnormal for our recent FT shooting, although we found a way not to make them.

 

[Clone_12]

End of the first half was HUGE! Brackins throws a lob and we get bailed out with a foul but only make 1 free throw, then somehow give up an uncontested 3? Not to mention our effort on D the first 8 minutes, and free throws...yet another winnable game goes to waste...

 

[cdekovic]

Whats sad is, we probably wont make the NIT

Seriously?

 

[IcSyU]

Look over the last few games. Look at who was taking the free throws. Look at the percentage made. You'll see a direct correlation.

I think today was Gilstrap, though. Dendy misses plenty, we all know, but Quez was bricking them over and over and over today.
