list them, coach
1. Careless, unforced turnovers.
2. Giving up dunks and layups in the half court, not to mention the run outs after turnovers.
3. Giving up wide- open looks to the opponent’s best shooters.
4. Not blocking out.
5. Taking guys in the portal who have no business playing P6 bball.
6. Stupid, pointless fouls putting teams in the bonus 10 minutes into halves.
Is that enough?

The officials aren't paying it directly to the other team however.

Time for a big come back!

So far, we’re getting whipped on both sides of the ball by a better team. When our guards aren’t hitting, we have almost no offense beyond IB.

Let’s just get matched up with UVA in the NIT and see how many years we can set back basketball.
Isn't Bennett sorta what TJ wants to coach like? I know I read something about that but I genuinely hope it's not true.

Tired of the Q1 wins BS have you watched this team in the last month? A couple of close wins and......................not much else.

We'll be 4-4 in our last 8 games. With 2 of those losses coming to top 10 teams and another to a team (OSU) with a top 10 defense.

Idk what people want this team to do differently. Have Gabe and Grill chuck up a ton more bad 3s? We are who we are and if we win it won't be pretty. We can win but it won't be because we force bad shots, it'll be locking down on defense and taking what we can get on offense

Any chance OU replaces us in the tournament? Why would the committee take a team with an inept offense that is lucky to score 20 points a half? I also believe TJ’s bull headedness not playing Enaruna and Jackson is hurting the teams’ chances to do anything

We won 20 games with a team that barely has more talent than last year's 2-22 group. Looking at how Bolton and Harris are performing this year, you could argue that basically this year's roster is the same as last year's, except we have Brockington. With that in mind, the job TJ and the staff have done is incredible. Do not forget that. We look atrocious tonight but just enjoy how much we've overachieved this year. This team has hit their ceiling and given us some great moments, and reignited the Magic. The talent level on the roster will rise in future seasons and this is just the start of the Otz Era.
I think last years roster was more talented. Getting 20 wins is incredible, can still be frustrated with late season adjustments or lack there of. Will hold my concerns on future for after the season but still happy TJ is our coach.

Just not athletic enough or tall enough to really compete in this game. Hope we have some 6,5” plus guards coming in next year and more athletic bigs!
