For some reason I won’t fall asleep tonight! I really thought that this team wasn’t the kind of team that could lose in the first round … I was wrong. Sure everyone is injured and it looked like they weren’t trying … but with normal free throw shooting they still win…

The only way to save this season now is to make a deep tournament run and that’s looking less likely by the hour
Yeah, the problem is we are going to fall into the 4-5 territory at this rate and that's likely a Sweet 16 ceiling barring upsets. That's not what I was expecting a month ago at all.

Starting to wonder about this team. Obviously injuries have been tough luck. We just don’t seem to have that killer instinct as of late. Pretty late to still be figuring things out. Hope we aren’t falling apart.

I hope someone tells me that these guys are sick because the alternative is some of them aren’t good enough for power 5 level basketball.

An effort like that should drop us to a 4 seed. Reminds me of the old saying "mess around, fool around, and before you know it, you will not be around."

I didn't see the WV game, but that was the worst effort I have seen all year, no energy, chucking up 3 point shots left and right, not hustling after the ball. Cannot make a free throw and just playing like this was a pick up game in front of a few fans.
OSU has to get some credit, they took us out of our game, and hit some big shots.
Welcome to fourth place, we will be lucky to go 1 and 2 the rest of the way.

Not that it would be good if the reason for poor performance tonight was illness or flu, but at least that is correctable.

Sick, injured, whatever, the weird turnovers are also really correctable but there they were again.

Auburn, Houston, Alabama, etc don’t lose stupid games like this. They are legit we are frauds. Idc that we started getting attention these guys are clearly mentally weak and broken and I still firmly believe it was the Arizona game that did it.

I only disagreed because you included Bama. I agree on the other 2.

I love CW and this forum, but he will never bad mouth a TJ led team.
They’re already starting the we are so hurt narrative. I get it, but there isn’t a team in America that doesn’t deal with injuries. You want to be a top 10 team with a shot at the Final 4? You figure out a way to beat a ***** team like this. This wasnt about injuries, this game was 1,000 percent about getting out worked

By the way, what happened to our transition offense? I get Gilbert has not been playing but haven't seen it since the Arizona game.
We keep trying to force transition even though teams are dropping and we either turn it over or take low percentage shots.
