Having 6 seniors isn't an advantage to some on here.

*raises hand*

There's a difference between having 6 seniors with lots of talent/versatility, and having 6 seniors that have basically had supporting roles their whole careers. Especially when none of them are post players or go-to scorers.

There's also a difference between TCU now and TCU 2012-16.

And in today's college basketball, experience means not much.

That said, I'd like to know if Burton gets high before some games.

Bowie with 1 rebound. Let's face it, we have an unbalanced team. Very good guards but weak in the post. We are still a solid team but games like this will happen.

90% of the reason we lost this game was because it was on freaking Fox Sports Midwest... WTF.

I'm assuming Burton, Monte, and Prohm were all looking ahead to Kansas and will expect them to show up on Monday.
JP was asked from the Big 12 if we wanted crappy officials today or Monday and he chose today. Monday will be better.
We beat KU on Monday, Monte and Burton both have double doubles.
You heard it here first.

This reads like a GTO poll. I approve.

Lolz at all the talk earlier on this thread about competing with Kansas for title. We cant even compete with some middle of the road team.

I wont even mention West Virginia and Baylor got key road wins today.

TCU is better than expected and they shot well today and exploited our biggest weakness in the post.

I like Prohm, but I am confused why Young and Jackson did not play more. Jackson was hot and then he was gone for long stretches.

Next game in a crazy good conference.....

Well, if you would have told me we would split the @OSU and @TCU games I would have taken it. Now, lets beat KU Monday and all will be well again.


Screw that. That's why KU wins the Big 12 every year. People except ****** performances and lazy ass defense, just because they are on the road.

Frustrating to lose that game. TCU played really well and our defense didn't have an answer all night. Refs didn't cost us that game, but they made it frustrating to watch and it looked like our guys were getting frustrated as well. The refs missed a lot of calls both ways and there was zero consistency on the calls they were making. Both teams seemed confused every time a foul was called.

Shut the **** up. You've been very clear that you don't like it, but it wasn't the problem tonight. Burton decided he was too cool to play basketball tonight, and yet, Prohm played him for 30 minutes. That's the problem. Not how many guards we had on the floor. You were wrong, and you are wrong.
Pretending like Burton made the team lose by himself makes you look stupid. Bad game plan, bad line ups bad effort. Sure refs didn't help but when you don't even try to make adjustments for their 1 big you are going to lose.

0 minutes for Holden tonight even with TCU killing us down low. We've probably seen the last of Holden playing any meaningful minutes in a Cyclone uniform.
Is that a bad thing? The only time I remember seeing him play well was in the exhibition.
