Our problems have come against teams with several big men. Not sure where they come from

Yep - it's been a big reason for Hoiberg's teams losing over the last years. Usually when we can't hit a shot and they have dominant rebounders larger than us - it's a loss. Niang had a really bad game - missed a lot of shots he always makes.

The tank ran out of gas - good season but poor NCAA tournament showing. Good god..

Really don't understand Fred's decisions down the stretch in this one.

Maybe someday, fundamentals like closing out, and boxing out will matter.

Played with fire too many times. Feel bad for the guys, with 1:00 left to play, I think UAB had been called for 6 could the entire game.

Never believed in the outside shooting, to begin with.

Zero blocking out and *****-level effort on defensive boards makes NCAA defeat inevitable.

Predicted a 1 or 2 round loss for this team right after South Carolina and Maryland.

Was Freddie even there today, btw?

Unreal, that was one of their worst games this year against a team they should have beaten easily. No heart in this game it seemed.

Why should we have beaten them easily? Pretty even imo.

We don't out-talent teams as much as we out-play teams. Sometimes you won't, and you get games like this.

Not an accident after its happened so many times. Have to take every game and every opponent seriously.

I'm almost glad this season is over. I couldn't take any more of these games. Tomorrow is a new day and the next season is another season. We still have a lot to look forward to, but today is going to sting for a long time.

Almost spent good money to fly to indy, drive to Louisville and watch that crap. Glad I didnt. I am taking CWs advice and going to the Big 12 tournament next year instead.

Good season. Bad ending thanks seniors. Not sure why our only hot hand today had to sit all second half. I'm sure everyone cares about the big 12 tournament championship now.

I don't get why Thomas sat so much either...
