The two home losses followed a less than stellar showing against Texas at home. That is 3 poor home games in a row. They really need to figure out why they are playing so poorly at home. We don't want home court to become "Hilton Tragic".

They proved something all right.
Triple poop emoji. Team let us down once again. I will now have zero expectations for the remainder of the season. This weather isn't helping, getting owned by Drew is annoying, and once again, why do we get excited for conference titles?
They will not beat Tech at home. They'll have a revenge factor and give up 15 offensive rebounds as Tech will want it more. So let's hope for an 11-7 finish.
I would say this is the fourth failed opportunity to prove it from the team this year. It seems to be about the only thing they do consistently.
Surprisingly strong start to the season with all the guys we were missing, then they get absolutely destroyed by iowa.
Surprising B12 start with a road win and then a historic beat down of KU. Then drop games to BU and KSU.
Win 6 of the next 7, strong showing in the loss at the Phog and we are looking like a title contender, then drop a fame as a huge home favorite to TCU.
Get a surprising bounce back on the road at KSU to revive title hopes, come back and lose again as a big home favorite.
At this point I expect this team to string a few more wins together before dropping another absolute head scratcher just when it looks like we have momentum. Seems like winning @TCU, OU, and @UT, getting everyone excited that we will win out, then getting shelled by a bunch of walk ons at WVU.

Spot on. Seems like each time Clones have had a chance to show they're for real, done the opposite.
This loss was the worst of all, like Stanz noted in his article. Nevermind the fact this was in Hilton, Baylor was effectively playing with a hand tied behind their back...and won. No McClure, no Clark, and Makai Mason at maaaybe 75%...some guy from D3 made our guys his b**** last night. You can come back from things like this, but honestly, like many others have mentioned, my expecations for this team from the remainder are about nil. NCAA Tournament bid seems like a lock, but I don't even care to speculate what their seed will be or how far they might go.
