Blow would imply that we end up losing. That hasn't happened too often. We've given up some, but that's when our toughness really appears.
I'm very happy to see Watson have a big game. Huge to have him playing with confidence towards the end of a season. His athleticism is a great weapon off the bench. Lineups with him and Ward can cause absolute havoc for any team in the country.
I was surprised when they said that we haven't had a Big 12 player of the week yet. Just goes to show how deep this team is, and how a different guy steps up for us nearly every night.
He's so good at defense and rebounding that if you add just a little offense to that, he will be hard to keep off the floor.
What’s the last 10 point lead we blew? I’ll tell you, it’s TX A&M. The last lead of any sort we blew was Baylor.
People will disagree, but the way is to finish out the regular season and then sit him in KC for the Big 12 Tournament. Now this also is only if rest would help. If any injury is nagging but won’t fully heal until the offseason and he can’t do anymore damage, then let him play.
I meant games have gotten uncomfortably close after being up a fair amount. I’m glad we haven’t lost them.
Frustrating how close we get to losing and win, isn’t it.
Iowa State: “Our team is stronger than your team. Just look at our coach for crying out loud”
He still played great D. He's never been a great offensive player.
Our first ncaa game is almost guaranteed less physical than typical big 12. Second who knows, could be. Third never is. There’s a lot of time in there.
I get you. It has gotten a lot better lately, though. It went from 17 and 19 point leads getting to 4 to 12 point leads getting to 7 before we open it up again.
I always gravitate to versatile guys like Watson in the 6’7” range that have enough athleticism to guard just about anyone and kind of a Swiss Army knife of skills on offense too.
