No way. I don’t know how someone watches this team (even with Halliburton) and thinks we are one player away. We just got drilled by 30 at home against a rebuilding Tech team. And we’ve lost by 20 points to the top Big 12 teams this year. That’s not going to change with one other good player.
Last night was a result of one team that's looking to improve for the NCAA tournament (Tech) and one that's taking on water (ISU).
Remember how bad they looked a year ago and then all of the sudden looked good? Momentum and confidence play a part.
Give Haliburton a go-to for scoring and make the defense have to account for more than one player especially one that can be as dynamic as THT (when he was reaching potential) and it would be a different story.
Not saying they'd be some sort of high seed but good enough to make the field.
