Throw away the play book. Time to start chucking threes. Ole Miss is only taking shots with 5 sec left in the shot clock, so they are eating tons of time. 2-pointers are not going to get it done. Start trapping defense to speed them up.

Maybe I’m imagining things but I am dubious that Mississippi has NIL money to burn.

They are the Iowa of their state though (medical school, lawyers) so maybe? But that state is really, REALLY poor. Arm wrestles with New Mexico for 49th/50th in most economic/educational metrics.
Might have the #1 coach in the country though.. Beard can coach against anyone.

His last Texas team was so good that Rodney Terry made the E8

Can’t wait for CW to shamelessly defend this coaching staff after the absolute mismanagement the last 60 days and a completely pathetic plan tonight

This isn’t CW’s fault. But I hope we are able to have a frank conversation about why these dud games continue to happen, especially offensively where our game plan WAY TOO OFTEN turns into heroball (we lose almost every time it does).

This one stings and in TJ I trust but he needs to take a Matt Campbell post-Ohio game approach to our offense and why we are so damn inconsistent.

Disappointing game. It’s just one of those games where we can’t make a basket and the other team can’t miss

Enjoyed this season. I’m just depressed we are now entering the off season.

@CycloneRulzzz - when will the first offseason tournament thread start? I need something to smile about and to look forward to

We’re coming back. I can feel it. Prepare for magic.

I was hopeful too until seeing Curtis' interview with CBS' sideline reporter. He looked shell shocked and his tone didn't sound like someone who felt they could win.

Sure injuries were an issue the last couple months. But this team lost the mojo and defensive focus they had the first 2 months of the season.

It's one game. If both teams are 100% healthy we'd probably beat them 8-10 times. If they had 2 of their best players hurt (1 out, 1 limited), do you think they'd be beating us or even have advanced this far? I doubt it.
If we were healthy, it would be competitive. But just look where their guys come from. Other p5's including one from Duke. Iowa State isn't getting these type of players.

I'm completely baffled by this performance, they just didn't show up at all. Horrible way to go out with a ton of questions that need answering
Agreed it’s pretty bad - a 3 seed shouldn’t get destroyed in the round of 32. But, here we are. I also appreciate you have many questions, as do I, but they will not be answered.

It’s another season that falls into the ‘what could have been’ bucket.
