Each needs to be quicker w/ a decision (in many cases), decide whether to go or kick out before reaching "point of no return."
Alot of Jefferson's TO issues seem to come when he gets it and holds it too long by dribbling in the paint.

Not too many seem to come from him passing out of the paint, he's a hell of a passer.

My concerns from earlier are validated. It's pretty obvious he has the kind of injury that isn't going to get better with some rest. He couldn't even get through 5 minutes today.

Sweet 16 is the absolute ceiling now and likely a 2nd round exit.

Twenty point win, but glad you could find a bowl of cCheerios to p!ss in anyway. Chase your joy!

We just beat a bubble team by 20 with Curt, Keshon and Neise going for a combined 16 points. Let's take it easy a bit.

Gilbert could not play another minute & this team's ABSOLUTE CEILING would be further than the Sweet 16, FFS. Momma/Jones/Lipsey/even Heise/Jefferson could come out & hit 70% from 3 & beat anyone.. Or the defense alone could force 20 TO's on any given night. To put any ceiling on them because 1 of the starters isn't 100% is ridiculous.

Not exactly sure.
Think I just saw Keshon in a Wendy’s baconator add, lol.


Rather have the guys rested and as healthy as possible for the show than win the big 12. What I was hoping for was a fairly easy win today, win tomorrow and then a lot of bench use in the next game and whatever happens happens.

This isn't the game thread genius. You think we'll make the Final 4 without a healthy Kesphon?
I wouldn’t even be certain we would make a final four with a healthy keshon. That’s how the tournament works.

There's a difference between thinking we WILL and thinking we CAN. This team absolutely CAN reach the Final 4 without Gilbert playing a single minute.
I dont think so at all. How far did we go when Niang broke his foot? You think you can just replace an all Big 12 player?

You're completely right, we "could" do a bunch of things depending on matchups and getting on a run like NC State last year, but not having am All-Big 12 guard makes things that much more difficult.

I am sorry but this is an appropriate time for JFC.

I don't think we will make the Final 4 regardless. It's possible, but I would put it at 10%.

You are just the most relentless negative poster on this board. Have you ever been happy? Eaten a piece of chocolate? Made out with someone?

We are +400 on DK to make the Final 4-- the 7th best odds tied with MSU and St Johns. That's really not bad.
