Yeah what was with constantly switching between bigs and guards. Terrible scheme to have Lipsey and Toure under the basket so much on D.
We just lost to a team who got beat by New Orleans at home.
Colorado beat TCU by 30.
But sure, we’re beating Kansas by 20.
The lack of self-awareness about his own weaknesses is astounding.
Not if Jefferson dribbles this much.
I'm astounded he has possessions where he dribbles for a lot of the shot clock - turns it over. And then TJ allows it to happen in the next half. We need to have the offense flow through Tamin and Milan.
My point is we rarely have the talent to win the conference and the last time we pushed to do it we flamed against Hampton.
How long have you been a fan? Id sign up for a 1-4 seed every year.
Just beyond disappointing, up 5 and TCU ends on a 10-0 run because we continued to dribble around or turn it over, this team is full of frauds just like last year and will get bounced second round or sweet 16. Not sure Iowa state will ever make a final 4 tbh. Might as well just try to enjoy making the tourney
That was the easy part of our schedule?? People were mad they had six days of rest. Now look what's coming up. Imagine how exhausted they're gonna be.
TCU has been in most every game they've played. They are not GOOD, and we should have beat them, but they are not BAD.
Well our noncon SOS was ass yet again this year. Yes Purdue and St John's are good teams...Iowa is decent but outside of that we didn't challenge ourselves at all.
Look at Arizona's noncon schedule. They prepared themselves for the gauntlet that is the Big 12.
Looking ahead is such a lame ass excuse. These guys are on jets flying to cities to face a big 12 opponent. They are not thinking about Kansas on Saturday.
As tempting as it is, I’m not sure the Joshua Jefferson 9 post dribble, almost lose it twice before throwing it away offense is a winning plan.
I mean, we blitzed Purdue and looked pretty good against some lower-level league opponents. But we struggled against Iowa. We eked out a win against St. John’s. Against the good teams, we haven’t clearly been better with one exception. We got smoked at KU and didn’t look like we belonged. The tough part of our schedule wasn’t supposed to have started, yet. The way they played tonight, finishing 11-7 or similar in league play isn’t out of the realm of possibility. That would be a huge disappointment.
Just trying to decipher how TJ was out coached by Jamie Dixon. I'm completely vexed.
I hate to pile on but if you look at their big wins, they shot the lights out against Purdue like out of their skin good to pull away, they caught St. John's early, Pitino teams usually gel later in the year, and the Iowa game was a slog until the end. Every time they've been punched in the mouth in conference play they've wilted, the 3 road losses and just about against Baylor. When they've won they didn't face much adversity. I'm just really questioning the mental strength of this team right now.
