Way up there
Gotta make free throws, the refs have shown they are calling it tough, FT's will be huge. Luckily Kstate has been just as awful.

Bubu really didn't bring much to the table for us in that half. I don't understand why he saw as many minutes as Tyrus that half.

Gave up a ton of points from missed FTs. From the point Weber called timeout when we were up 9 things went way downhill.

I'll never ever understand how guys miss free throws....

I can understand it. I empathize; I always struggled with consistency (long, long ago...)

Some players just don't do it well, and even good shooters can be off. What blows my mind is when several players in one game can't drain anything. Not missing just front ends of 1-and-1, they're missing 2-shot fouls.

thought bubu did okay for first time out, helped get some open 3's his first time in

liked that they are trying to get to Percy even though he muffed them all

missing free throws blows

no problem with the refs, they made up for their bad call

Echo the FT complaints. Gibson has been a blackhole on offense thus far. He should limit himself to getting position, drop step, then shooting a layup. I only trust Niang to produce any post scoring after putting the ball on the floor once or twice.

This is a tough team to watch. There just seems to be no urgency at all. Everytime they score, we lob it in and walk it up. And we never seem to pressure the ball. I was hoping we would be deep enough that we could press and run, but maybe we just don't have the players yet to play that style.

Where is Booker? And free throws are a joke. We have no confidence, we take to long. It's like standing over a 2 foot putt for 30 seconds.

Don't like how this is going. K State played as bad as they can and gave us a chance to run out to a big lead, and instead we shoot 3-10 from the line. Now K State leads after playing terribly.

We really seem limited offensively all of a sudden.

McGee has to play more minutes, just can't afford to not have him out there anymore.

Officiating is horrid again. Bad both ways. Game never gets into a flow.

I agree, I get that he plays a high energy game and maybe wears himself out but we aren't as good without him out there... that's pretty simple to see...

Percy just can't seem to lighten up a little on those lay ups. He works hard to get open and just clanks it off the board. I swear he missed 3 in a row. Wow.
