Can you imagine those 2 dunks in Hilton. The roof would have blown off
Anyone who was around to watch the Fizer-Tinsley season... games like this are the games they gutted out also. I'm starting to get a really good feeling about this team.
To be fair, I will give you credit for sticking around.
Most of the others haven’t had the courage to comment. They will be here in force when we lose again though.
Roger that. It seems like that's Prohm's approach too. In any of these cases, I didn't seem him jump down Cam's throat. I'm sure it's a delicate balance of wanting that fire, but needing it directed at the right things.
Tough road win against a desperate team in a weird environment. Awesome. These are the kind of games where they can't afford to stub their toe if they're going to make a serious run at the Big 12 title.
I was wondering about that. I finished up my workout right around 8:00 and had to stop at Target on the way home. So I fired up Tune In radio on my phone and started listening. I didn't know if it was a home game or an away game... until I heard that crowd. (Or didn't hear it, in this case.) It sounded so pathetic.
I still haven't seen any vids or photos from the game, but I'm guessing the place was nearly empty?

Exactly, these types of games are where KU always made hay in winning the Conference. Nice to see us pull it out through the adversity.
So wait - these chatboards are NOT the official bible of basketball wisdom?
Yeah, Coach Prohm has said over and over that he wants his guys to have fun and play loose. This goes along with that, though I'm sure the staff may subtly point it out on film if the delay led to a defensive breakdown.
I’ve seen worse, but you would definitely expect better with the #17 team in town and considering OU it’s still seen as a tourney team.
What I love about the last few games is that they haven't even played great and they keep winning. That is the sign of a good team.
I have no issue with Cam's celebrating but I can tell you the coaching staff was on him right away when Roach hit that 3. From what I recall his block led to a 3 on 1 runout where Hally got the layup. Cam was looking into the student section celebrating, as he wasn't needed on that end of the floor. Texas inbounded in right away and since we had 3 on 1 going forward we were outnumbered coming back. By the time Cam noticed he was late in closing out on Roach. I know Coach Robinson let him have it a bit.
In any event, love the passion and love seeing Cam engaged. Man he is a fun player.
I couldn't help but think watching last night that even some of our best teams lose that game by double digits. No crowd, no environment, riding a win streak, playing a desperate team. Really everything set up for a let down and they found a way to get the win.
Agreed. Aside from maybe the KU game at Hilton we have yet to see this team firing on all cylinders. If they're peaking in March then watch out.
When OU tied it late the announcer says something along the line of "The arena has come alive!" Meanwhile in the background on TV there is about 8-9 people sitting in the stands. I'm sure it was absolutely deafening in there...
I like re-reading game threads to see the roller coaster of emotions going on.
I could have done without the pre-school slap-fight that was woven throughout, but otherwise, this was an entertaining read.

Those dead environments seemed to be kryptonite to some of those Hoiberg teams. I've always thought we played better in road games with a good crowd, our teams are used to playing with the noise, even if its a team cheering against them.
