All thought this loss stings it proves how good we are when we can hang with a top 3 team on the road with a starter out

Man, that play toward the very very end where Kansas needed to get a shot off, the ball was ping-ponging around, then on the floor, then out to Wilson...
I watched it all in such slow, serene fashion. I felt like the great wizard Merlin, looking at how the future would unfold. Was there any doubt that somehow, some way, the ball would end up bouncing to a KU player and that he would make it right as the shot clock expired? My superpower appears to be "knowing when the nut kick is coming". I'd assume many Cyclones share this power!

Did anyone else notice the yellow wrap on lipsey’s hand at the end? Hope it’s nothing too bad, would be killer to lose him for any length of time.
Right. This is the series of the god damned dead ball 3. It's the series of the block. It's the series where some guy not even near the foul got called for the foul instead of a good player fouler out. It's the series of the goal tend and Grill's 3 pointer.
It was normal garbage officiating today. Not the criminal officiating that can still make my blood boil 20 years later.
I was very pleased with the little twist Shon put on with the pull up layup. That could loosen things up for the team if he can be a threat from 8' like that.
Heck of a game and we are for real. Would have loved a win, obviously, but we proved our start is no fluke. If we get that Shoon consistently we will be a tough, tough out.
Yeah. Having him on **** would have been good. Needed a bit more height from the defender to challenge some of those shots.
Mannn, just brutal. Great acting by Grill, but rather just have him look at the rim and hit the shot. How many bunnies did we miss tonight?
Protect Hilton, and keep the road dawg mentality rolling strong. We’re good.

Agree on this. Doesn't feel like you can call that, but prob was a foul
I’m over blaming the refs. They were fine. Game was probably lost in that section where we didn’t value the ball.
Man tough that we couldn't pull it off, but if we're being honest, we were doing pretty well to keep it that close.
On to Texas!
On to Texas!
Agree. I have zero issues with the officiating. Not happy with a couple calls but overall I thought they did a nice job. Total fouls were 16-12 and I think in the second half it was 5-3. Hate to lose but I really enjoyed watching that game.
It pains me to think what a win today would have done for us. Having won on the road at OU, TCU, and KU.... holy s**t would we have been in the drivers seat!
Two things can be true at the same time:
We absolutely could have won if we didn't make several key mistakes.
We also would have been pretty damn likely to win if the refs didn't swallow their whistles for the final 14 minutes of the game for KU.

Not so much lucky, but good enough to keep ourselves in it.
We definitely showed that we belong, and we're no fluke.
