We just aren’t good on the road. 70% of the conference has sleepy road environments

BB gets my hopes up, now and then.
Eod, he mostly disappears.
I miss Rob. Never thought I would

I mean when you look at the makeup of our roster compared to others that are fighting for 1 and 2 seeds, they have way better athletes than we do and it's not really close.
Put him in different offensive sets or sit his butt on the bench
Just got home from the game-or whatever the hell that was. All I have to say is I hope we find out the entire team had the flu. That is all. Peace out
I did too, but did in game. Just saw our lack of focus, sloppy play and knew it was the Bearcat game again. Shot totals were to low cuz of all the turnovers
TCU is a really weird team. Wins against Florida and Wisco are good and should have won at Kansas and maybe even Michigan. They also have won lots of head scratchers. They do have a cake schedule to end the season and as long as they don’t drop a few more should be a tourney team.
Despite that, I’m frustrated because TCU didn’t play, this game was just a lot of the usual self inflicted low mental plays like unforced turnovers and inability to make a free throw. I still don’t get why TJ teams struggle so much with basic fundamentals
Nah....winning at home doesn't mean a ton really. All it would do is make up for this mess.
I mentioned they were like TJ',s first couple of teams. Muck it up and hope you can get a few key buckets
It’s just maddening because it’s every TJ team. If you don’t get turnovers and transition buckets it’s going to be a slog.
This isn’t a great team. This is a good team. Unfortunately, that means that it’s a 50/50 shot whether you get the good team that played like the last few weeks or the team that played like tonight and at Cincinnati.
I’m not sure what it is. Lack of focus? Lack of preparation? Great teams don’t lose those kinds of games.

If they beat Kansas and Houston it means a lot.
Houston is the best team in the Big 12 IMHO.
I mean a red-hot Illinois team was up double digits at home in the 2nd half. Lost to Badgers.
Winning is really hard at home and on the road
Its really hard to predict what the heck is going to happen.
You are correct. I’ve been thinking the same. I was worried about KU before they beat Zona and this fiasco. I’m afraid we pick up two losses at home . These could be some beat downs.
At 21-3 there's no reason to lose our minds. But lack of outside shooting from anyone not named Milan is the biggest sticking point with this team and I just don't know where the consistent answer to that comes from as ISU enters it's toughest stretch of the season by far.
I am a big believer in letdowns after emotionally draining games
Happens all the time
UNC beats Duke loses on road tonight to Miami by 9 or 10
I think KU has a letdown
Defense gets you on the floor in TJ’s system, pros and cons to that but ultimately what we have to live with. Lack of adjustments is what kills us in these games, I think the offensive struggles should’ve gotten Batemon more playing time in the second half, 1 shot from him is unacceptable.
I don’t think it’s losing our minds, it’s the frustration of losing hope that maybe THIS year we’ll get to the next level.
UConn on their run to a national title lost to a couple of very pedestrian teams that year. One at home
Great teams can lose games against questionable teams
