Again big time trouble at guard play for the future. Naz and Thomas are awful away from home. Heck even at home.
Wer're not getting very far in the tourney unless the shooters start making shots and the bench starts contributing. The tourney, unfortunately, is not in hilton
I've never seen Fred throw up his arms like he did when Thomas passed up that wide open 3 with about a minute left.
He was clearly frustrated he didn't shoot that since that's why Thomas is in there.

The fact that Ejim got a technical does not really bother me so much. He is an under-sized player for the position he plays, and is an emotional player. He probably plays with a chip on his shoulder that makes him the player he is presently. However, the fact that he got another technical tonight after just getting one the last game and missing a good portion of the game because of it is disappointing. He has to show better leadership than that and be a smarter basketball player than that. Unlike the last game, he was the leading scorer and at the time leading re-bounder for his team. You don't pull a bonehead play like getting a technical again in an important game like this. I'm sure he feels bad, but then I heard him say after the last one that it would not happen again. Won't believe that any more.
At least Hogue hit the boards. Long and Thomas not hitting shots would hurt a lot less if they brought great defense and rebounding. I know shooting is their role, but is that all they can do? Given that is the only manner in which they are to impact the game, it puts a lot of pressure on them. I had hoped they would be showing more all-around game by now.
His pine time may have been the key stat; that was the beginning of the 4 minute drought.
5 seconds after that Thomas made sure to show Fred why he didn't take the first look though.
This. They are undefeated at home in conf WITH A WIN OVER KU, can't win them all. Time to buckle down take care of business next week.
Almost 4 years of bull-**** calls leads to a lot of frustration. Probably more ****** than ever that scrubs and freshmen get more benefit of the doubt than he does.
