Baylor is just built exactly the way you need to be built to expose our weaknesses.

Guys played their butts off. We just got no breaks at all and like I said, they are strong exactly where we are weak.

The guys did not play their butts off...when Taurean Prince is grabbing a rebound under the basket, then dribbing 94 feet down the basket past everyone for a dunk, they are not 'playing their butt off', when Baylor is getting layup after layup after layup, without really having to work the ball around on offense, we are not 'playing our butt off'.

We gave another half*** effort on defense, and we got the result that comes with it.

This is on Prohm, we had 5 guys play really hard and really well and the coaching was just awful. Prohm is so bad it's comical at this point. Guy has no clue, no clue. His in game coaching is awful, some of the worst I have seen. Timeout selection horrible, game plan horrible. Lineup selection just awful most of the game, refuses to work the refs, horribly disorganized, horrible defensively.

I am done with this guy, he is weak, and overmatched night in and night out.

Wow... I wouldn't want to hear your opinion of Hoiberg's teams... because it's pretty much the same record and results in close games.

Hard to get outrebounded when almost all of bay lord shots were lay ups, and they didn't even have gathers

We have 3 "easy" home games left. Win those and one of the road games and I'm satisfied. But, this team...

The season has not turned out the way most of us thought it would, true.

IMO, it's a sign of our improved status that "fans" are complaining about a season where we have been ranked the entire season, have beaten three top five teams, and are fairly assured of another birth in the NCAA's.

How quickly some forget that just a few short years ago we were thrilled to make it to the NCAA's after an extended drought.

We're a ranked team, however, I don't even look forward to watching this team play anymore.

It's such a horrible display of basketball. John Wooden would literally get sick to his stomach having to watch us play the game.

Glad to see we ignored Niang towards the end of the game once again. That seems to work well.

Im starting to wonder if the players and coaching staff is incapable of actually learning from previous experiences.

Do you udnerstand basketball at all? baylor's game plan was to faceguard him tight the rest of the game. He wasn't open Passes to him would have been deflected or stolen.

We were out rebounded by 1.

Not going to say we're effective defensively though.

ESPN says 4, but I think Baylors need for offensive rebounds is pretty minimal when they can repeatedly pass to their post players a foot From the hoop and we are forced to foul or give up a dunk.

Well we already have as many losses as last season with a better and more experienced team. Every loss came down to a last second possession. Seems like we haven't come out on top in that situation since Iowa.... That is on coaching...

McKay is not much more than a warm body to foul. He doesn't jump and has no offensive game besides dunks. Seems like he could care less if he is even there. Without him we are toast. No depth or height

This team has a good chance at really, really blowing future recruiting for Prohm. no matter what the next few games happen, it will be prime time embarassment at Lawrence.....name the score. Commentators will be mocking us. Then if we are one and out of Big12 tourney, we are a 9 seed and will probably get mocked in the tournament. We all have our *******.....the free throw problem started of course early and is attributable to directly about 4 losses. Another thing I don't see is Matt Thomas hitting clutch threes.....hell, he won't even shoot them in the clutch. He is like Nader and Monte both....might hit a three now and then, but in clutch is absent. Maybe stats tell us otherwise....but would like to see him hitting those last minute threes that Naz would get. Instead, we get Monte chuck ups which worked earlier in the year in close games....not so much lately. How can we not have another Center on scholarship? If the big white dude is on scholie, then put him in damn it.
