You do this at practice in November, not during the game mid way through the conference season.

you at practice?

Sometimes players need to hear it during the game, guys like Izzo, Self, Huggins and other very good coaches will blast their guys during the game if they are not putting out the effort.

Edit: Just saw SG's post, so did not mean to pile on but he is absolutely right.

Talk about a team that plays position less basketball. You've got Brodziansky, Miller, Williams, and Noi who are all big, physical presences, but also all have some element of finesse to their game, whether it's driving into the paint or knocking down a 3. They could all be guards or forwards, they all rebound and shoot well. Dixon has a very well oiled offensive machine down in Ft. Worth. He has taken the discombobulated roster that Trent Johnson created, and turned it into a diamond in the rough. They were down an offensive weapon yesterday, but I think it's safe to say that TCU is finally talented enough to overcome such deficiencies.

Really the salt in the wound is that even when TCU was at their worst, during the Hoiberg era, I can't remember out-classing them quite like they did to us last night. Felt like a major kick to the stones.

Your post is pretty much spot on, but I will say that we handed them their ass and could have named the score at the B12 tournament last year.

Oh, we did. It was pretty much an expected easy win, and usually was. Credit to them that they've clearly improved.

The good news is that we've got two of those types of guys on the way in THT and Griffin.

I can predict with 100% accuracy when Beverly is getting his shot blocked down low (spoiler alert: it is whenever he has the ball in the post, usually right after getting a rebound).

It looks like Kenrich Williams might have gotten part of that growth removed from the back of his head. Wait... That was his hair?!
I've always maintained that between Williams, Fisher, and Robinson (Raffy from The League), TCU has some strong candidates for Big 12 All-Ugly Team. Honorable mention for Brodziansky too. Unfortunately, for us, these players are also quite good

Robinson had 17 assists? Please. Call me when he only had a few turnovers. 1 turnover? JFC, we might just want to guard him closer than 10 feet away.
