i mean, we can still talk about it like it's theoretically possible, but i think it's unfair to everyone to be serious at this point, barring elimination of the team's negative tendencies in the last two games.

By forcing himself into the lane with his forearm, and then getting a low post screen, which was usually pretty set, but not all the time.
WTF you talking about? You are saying they are only comfortably in if they go 11-7 in the league? That’s idiotic. If they go 11-7 they will be a 6 seed or better. 8-10 in the league gets them in.
Harmon was getting to the rim at will. I don't think a zone was going to help tonight. About the only thing Spatola said tonight that I agreed with was the Harmon was in a zone driving the ball to the rack. He was doing it with his left and right he was pushing Lipsey around, he was pushing grill around, he was pushing Gabe around. Those matchups really were men vs boys
If your going to rig a game like that you might want to start before 10 minutes left to leave chance out of it.
The free throw shooting is weird. Gabe looks off balance, falling forward and barely hitting the rim.
Yeah I'd feel safe with 2 more wins, though it would be very disappointing after the start

This team is a lock for the tournament already. It's just about getting things right and being as ready as a team can be for the Madness.
I agree with a lot of this. And had we lost by 3 normally it would be fine. But the blown lead is pretty bad. And it is a trend with this team. They can't get out of the spiral. They need to figure out how to get out of the spiral when they lose the lead b/c teams are going to know they can be mentally tougher than us.
For the “corrupt refs/league” crowd can you give me any possible explanation why the Big 12 would want 0-8 Texas Tech to win tonight? What possible incentive could there be to screw us over? And only in the second half?
Get a damn drip people. We lose on foul differential every game because of how we play. Tonight was about having no offensive identity, handing them the ball and not guarding the ball.

that's the problem with those replays, they can only change possession and not make foul calls.
Am I the only one who doesn't understand bringing in a guy like Ward to sit behind an obviously overmatched Jones?
I know Williams got hurt but man if this team couldn't use another competent guard comfortable with the ball against even the slightest pressure.
Makes me sick that they held an open scholarship instead of just making room for Green if he wanted to come given how late he was deciding.
Still though, a lot to play for in conference and overall. Gotta cook up some counters though as it feels like we're gonna see a lot of what should be token pressure that slows this team to a halt until they prove they can exploit it.
