should keep us ranked
I think we stay where we are. Maybe even move up if BYU wins at Tech. TCU will drop out with 2 losses. Tech won’t jump us unless they beat BYU. Ole Miss could very easily drop out as well. I expect 23-24 next week

Considering big12 teams win at less than a 40% clip on the road, I don’t think we move much, maybe go up 1 or 2

Matchups are going to be different but with TCU, we really needed Watson and they came back a bunch with Pav in.

C. Jones and Gilbert came through, but seemed a little dicey down the stretch.

Watson and Ward just seem to have a more extensive skill set than some of our other guys. Not sure we pull that game out without Watson’s block.

As others have stated - loved Watson out there. He continues to show why his athleticism is so important in Big 12 games!

Shooting 33% from 3 today (7-21) - by far our best in conference thus far - was great to see. I’ve been openly skeptical that this years squad is actually a “good” shooting team (as I just don’t see them being any better than any other of TJ’s squads). I’ll take 33% every game with this squad!

If that clean blocked 3 was a make…

Both of them had one that was total bs and another iffy. It was definitely manufactured more than a fault of the players. No way TJ goes over film with them and criticizes Rob’s 3rd foul that was nothing.
BRE’s third foul and no foul call on obvious from the get go eye poke were just bad

When we got the rebound up 4 with 40 seconds or so left he was so far out there one of our guys almost ran into him. That's what lead to my all caps post. He takes it WAY over the line.
Need to run a play where a player runs into him when he’s on the court. It would be a T on their bench

Crazy stats...40-24 rebounding adv for TCU, 26 -14 FT adv for TCU, 27-13 TO adv for us.
We had like 14 more shots, so the rebound differential makes sense. I hear ya but the rebounds are misleading today.
