Honestly I’m just hoping to walk out with a W, never an easy place to play, particularly when they’re letting the contact fly.

Something suddenly seems wrong with this team. Ball movement has been poor, keeps sticking. No back cutting, no obvious plan other than getting CuJo the ball and hoping he can do something on his own

The only thing wrong is they haven’t made 3s. Make a couple and they will loosen up inside which changes how they can play offense.

They are getting fouled. Constantly.

Not calling anything when our guys drive. I guess they are letting things go on both ends, but to what extent? It's taking away our inside game.
Yep. It’s turning the game into a contest of contested threes. Gross basketball.

Wonder why we just cannot shoot well in that building? Doesn’t matter the players, coaches, etc. None of our players ever show confidence shooting there, and never have.

Honest question is it one of the places where the students are on the sidelines?

Really missing Milan today. But where the heck has Gilbert been lately?


When Milan went down that killed Gilbert’s style of play. They just pack it in. They don’t have to guard Heise . Heise has made as many threes in the big 12 as me. So just pack it, Gilbert can’t drive and they are ok with Heise shooting bricks

The lack of Milan is certainly part of it.

This is the worst we've looked in weeks, probably since Morgan State... Yet we lead, on the road, against a really good team, and a brutal building. Plenty of game to go but I'm slightly encouraged
This. It is fine. Games aren’t won in the first half.

We should be winning by so much more. Too many wasted possessions.
Yeah just not strong with the ball, and players are getting frustrated. Good opportunity for Jefferson to show some fortitude and fight through the frustration.
