It's wild Watson got 15 minutes in a game Ward returned.

I'd guess it was his length.

ISU really doesn't guard the perimeter very well. I don't know if they can just play straight D and still be effective or not. We'll see if that changes.

We will be hungry after tonight. Home crowd. We will shoot better. I'm not a betting person but if I were I'd wager on us winning outright Tuesday night.
Houston has the number 1 defense in the country. We do not have the fire power to overcome that. If we suddenly do then the season drastically changes, but we've played poor on offense against anyone with a heartbeat

Huge disclaimer that I have not been able to pay super close attention to this one, but so far it feels like the difference for me
It has been the following.

Pav- not being quite ready for big 12 or at least him getting less minutes.

Lipsey - being out for while for foul trouble.

Mom - defense and not hitting his shot at his average rate.

Gilbert - bad night offensively. He will be fine long term, but not his best night.

Thoughts!
First Big 12 road game for several guys and first true road game of the year.
Not a terrible performance, need to hit more open looks.

I love BRE, but he is a soft big. That’s just facts.

You have a deep hatred for me, and anything I post, which is fine. Life’s too short for me to waste my time hating on you. Have a nice night!

How is a soft big, and how many bigs do you see that dunk the ball every time? How many 6'10 5s do you see doing this?

How do you think you would dunk it every time?

This game does not hurt the resume at all. It's a missed opportunity. There will be LOTS of other opportunities in conference. We'll see how much this team can grow. They looked like they belonged, just need to figure some things out against good competition.

First real crucial game is against OSU on Saturday. Lose that one then I'll be concerned.

You know when Darius likes your post you made a stupid comment.

If you pay attention in the threads any time someone makes a negative or disappointed comment it gets an instantaneous like from DB.
