Pretending like Burton made the team lose by himself makes you look stupid. Bad game plan, bad line ups bad effort. Sure refs didn't help but when you don't even try to make adjustments for their 1 big you are going to lose.
I want to know what burton's +/- was

I never said he was by himself, but if our coach doesn't have the awareness to sit him before he has the chance to go 1-10 on offense while giving up 30 points on defense, it makes him look stupid. It has literally nothing to do with the 4 guard lineup. And I was hoping for more Solomon today. He at least tries.

This felt like our annual loss to Tech in Lubbock. Frustrating game even though TCU is probably a Tourney team this year. I bet we knock them off in Ames

He was by far our biggest contributor in losing.

The only good thing I can say about this game is thanks to Rabbuk for providing a link to watch it. Now, just go out and beat Kansas on Monday so we can all talk about our run to the final four again.

Have to knock the coaching in this one.. With the poor shooting and effort that Burton displayed tonight he should have been riding the pine. Not many big 12 coaches would put up with that effort and still play a guy 30+ mins. (Do you think Bill Self would have left Burton in?? - Absolutely not) Also, why wait until there is 12 mins left in the 2nd half to play Jackson? He is one of our best on ball defenders and he was on fire in the first half (16 pts). Maybe I just saw the game differently from my tv than from the bench?

Out coached and out played

Reffing? Terrible
Announcers? Garbage
Burton? Lazy as hell
Prohm? Clueless

Okay, everyone gets their own opinion. But explain 'specifically' how Prohm was "clueless" please. They blocked 8 of our shots, 7 in the second half. I didn't know he had a Tim Duncan on the bench to put in there.

I'm hoping for a 500 year ice storm personally. But you're welcome.

Well, if you would have told me we would split the @OSU and @TCU games I would have taken it. Now, lets beat KU Monday and all will be well again.
Don't see this team keeping up with KU for 40
Screw that. That's why KU wins the Big 12 every year. People except ****** performances and lazy ass defense, just because they are on the road.
yep.

Scary good chance they come into Hilton and do the same to us too

Need to shoot really well and hope the bal bounces our way.
