Up 5 and you turn it over the rest of the game with 2 minutes left. Gabe it away. The offense and the players are just sloppy! It’s lost us 3 games and almost blew Baylor

2/8 from the free throw line, our coaching staff outside of Blount and TJ are horrible, Jefferson can’t dribble still, lipsey and Nate can’t shoot, toure sleeping, whatever. Pathetic
Nope. I think we overachieved and finish closer to the middle of the conference. Team is inconsistent and horribly coached sometimes.
We're going to beat Kansas by 20. Focus will be alot different come Saturday.
Oh come on. This was not on the refs. Be better. This was on piss poor effort and very sloppy passing.
If I’m honest I dont think the cost of wearing g ourselves out to win the conference is worth it. Get a top 3-4 seed often and we will be fine
Have all these people who heap accolades on Jefferson ever watched him play? I know the stats and analytics are good but he might be one of my least favorite Cyclones to watch in a long time

We figure out how to absolutely blitz teams and then we play out of our minds and forget all the principles that got us those incredible performances.
Unfortunately, it comes down to two things - Jefferson and whether at least 1 person not named Milan is making threes. When we get Bad Jefferson handling the ball and turning it over every time (all the losses plus a few of the wins), we have basically no chance unless someone gets streaky like Batemon or Heise. Good Jefferson is a distributor first. Why he is being asked to handle and drive, or why he’s being allowed to, is the difference between this team peaking and ending with another Pitt-like thud early in March.

Statistically, TCU wasn't even that good tonight: 40% FG, 28% from 3, 65% FT. The Cyclones just could not handle that high ball pressure and JJ was a TO machine. 55 points is beyond inexcusable.
There's a higher chance they lose by 15+ to each than them winning
