Pocket picked, hurried passes, dribbling into traffic when it's not there.
Repeating but these are things from the whole season, just only worse the last monthish despite winning.

From a 30,000 foot view, it seemed Ok State was double teaming/trapping Jefferson anytime he touched the ball, especially in the first half. Jefferson was slow to react, resulting in the ball being stolen many times. It’s not necessarily Jefferson’s fault; the offense needs to communicate when the double team is coming so Jefferson can make a decision on what to do before the double arrives
Just my armchair coaching. But I’d be curious to see how well the team is communicating with each other on the court

Ok well it’s happened about 4 times this year"Unacceptable! That's not going to happen again!" TJ not happy on the radio show right now.
Give us our 3 seed and let’s just get right for March
Jefferson will absolutely get some huge offers this offseason if he is not already.
Feel like it needs to be Lipsey. But he just doesn’t seem vocal enough as a player.
Worst is hyperbole. Of course he isn't that. But he is often times the most frustrating.
Not a single NBA caliber player on this team. A few really good college players. The NBA is the elite of the elite.
Blum said a few of our guys are getting double the money offers already this season. Guessing he’s one of them
I really hope this happens, but we have two tough games coming up and momentum can be a *****. Trip up and it may be hard to right the ship.
I don’t care that other teams can win these types of games, even with injuries. We’re a last second tip in from being undefeated at full strength. If we get everyone healthy we’re good enough to make the final 4. If we don’t have everyone back we’ll get bounced 1st or 2nd round, regardless of seed.
I think this is a very legit question.
I don't see any arguing but they just kind of wait for someone to do something or try to do it themselves.
Still only one loss when we are fully healthy. All I care about now is getting everyone back and getting these last 3 games. If we do that, I think we still get a 3 seed.
I still think we get this right. But right now the energy is off and we are not building the way you want to build come tournament time.
One thing I think is missing compared to last year’s team is the tenacity and effort given consistently each game start to finish. We imposed our will consistently last year on teams and made them play the game we wanted them to. This year it seems, though our ceiling is higher we have these moments of shelling up and not drawing a line in the sand as often. We seem to have more moments of the other team imposing their will on us. Hopefully we can flip a switch, I know this team is capable.

For road games. There's several quad 3 home ones this year.
In the past it probably was tho with 10 teams at certain points.
Really poor passing team. And lot of holes defensively now. The three guards are all best to hell.
Tj basically said they going to go back and practice hard. He gets the big bucks to decide, but those three guards need rest.
Yeah, there was a sequence where Nate passed up an open 3 and gave it to Milan, and I was like "WTF are you doing?!?!" and then I immediately laughed thinking about how much has changed since the start of the conference season.
It’s one game. It’s a long season. The world isn’t ending. Maybe lower your expectations or start dishing out some big $$$. Road losses happen. You’re not going to make it as a cyclone fan very long if you think this is as bad as it gets.
