[Doc]

They can make 3s, we can't. That's game.

Did pretty much everything else as good or better.

More assists.
More rebounds.
Better total FG%
Better FT%
Less fouls

Just about the only thing was 3 point shooting. Neither team played great.

We corrected our TO and rebounding issues but they started shooting more of their usual %.

 

[CySmitty]

Thats crap

 

[isuno1fan]

That was clearly off us. Correct call

 

[CysRage]

So..many..opportunities!

 

[CycloneErik]

When a team wants to gift you the win, you take it.

 

[fsanford]

Big time let down. Just once I'd like to lose a game by 6 or 7 points.

You happy?

 

[dirtyninety]

NOW referees enforce inbounds plays when the defender is in the other guys face......I remember in Lawrence times where the KU guy was allowed to give our inbounder a rectal exam causing a turnover.....

OH well....game over. This team just gives up too many 12 point runs where there is no defense and bad shooting.....pretty simple.

 

[IcSyU]

Wigginton and Jackson were awful tonight. We have no chance to win when they're both awful.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Just not one of Donny J's finer moments. And by moments, I mean games.

 

[Die4Cy]

Donovan just couldn't get it done tonight. Lot of credit to KU for keeping him from getting anything open.

 

[Doc]

Almost identical score to the one in Phog.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

KU tried to give it to us but just couldnt hit that big shot.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Really executed down the stretch better. Just got lost in the middle ten of the second half. Really could not afford to have any key guys have a terrible game. And we did.

Not a step back for these guys. Not the step forward we wanted.

 

[CloneGuy8]

This team is so ******* frustrating

 

[isuno1fan]

Blew a huge opportunity

Oh well. That’s how this year has went.

 

[Balls]

We had our chance, make our shots at the end and we could have won. I'm very impressed with this team. Our returning core is very strong.

 

[RonBurgundy]

Ugh. No way we can win when DJ and Wiggy go 2/12 from 3 and combine it with some terrible D. Disappointing.

 

[HFCS]

Maybe we'll steal one on the road now, it was almost a guaranteed loss if we'd have won this as up and down as they seem to get.

Shoot anywhere near decent from 3 and this is a W. Great to see Babb back and almost get his averages in limited minutes.

 

[LindenCy]

Next year should be very, very good, but this year's growing pains are frustrating.

 

[madguy30]

Wigginton and Jackson were awful tonight. We have no chance to win when they're both awful.

You don't think KU had something to do with that? They were impressive on D out front.
