Not sure what happened to our perimeter defense. The WVU game could be just what we need to put things on the right track. Most teams are going to go through bad stretches. We are in the midst of ours.

THT and Wigginton are sooooo inconsistent. It's either 1 for 10 or 8 for 10. I thought we just needed one of the two to have a good game to win, but that's not enough when you give up 89 points.

For a month though?

Perimeter defense this season has either been decent or not even around.

They can still get to 22 wins before the Big 12 tourney which is what most would have signed up for in November but this past month has been wonky.

But on a bright side it gives us a reason to type 'wonky'.

What has this team done to get an eight seed then? They'll end up 9-9 in the conference, with wins against KU, @TTU and @KSU.....They have four losses against BU and TCU. Now they have one against UT, a bubble team. They got ***** slapped against Iowa, the only decent non-conference team they played. Please tell me, outside of your precious computer rankings, how this is a decent team....

Your profile name suits you. You're a complete Gomer.

We played hard defense, moved the ball quickly, and made shots earlier in the season. not sure what changed.

Teams are guarding us better and when they go to the rim this team is sloppy. Another thing is this team goes from playing one on one ball to passive and back more than any team I can remember . When the run the offense, pass the ball around, and TAKE good shots this team is at their best. They don't do that well at times.

Name the teams better than them. Michigan state lost to Indiana again today.

I think too many people expect us to win all of our games and downplay our opponents.

Lard situation is an unfortunate one, it can cause a division in the locker room with guys taking sides on the issue.
The coaches and players are around each other 24/7. It's not like us fans. We are surprised and these things come unexpectedly. There's only 13 guys in the locker room, they know everyone's business.

Also I think the absence of babb in second half did not help.

The only time I yelled today was when the med staff left him lying on the floor for like a good minute before running out to tend to him.

From having the best road to win the Big 12 to arguing about how bad our seed could possibly get... disappointing. We should expect better results out of this roster. Season isn’t over, but something really seems off with our team. I’d be interested to know what it is like in the locker room right now.

The engagement of the players seems to be trending down and we keep seeing poor in-game adjustments, rotations, and game plans coming in. Our defense has been trending worse for awhile. Yet, I wouldn’t trade this roster for another in the big 12. Would you? All of that considered, this presently disappointing season is on the coaches. I am not saying fire Prohm or anything, but some of you need to get real with some of these issues we are seeing.

So no reasoning, well done....

What's the point? You've clearly made up your mind. You're in full on meltdown mode.

He is giving you facts and what the criteria that will be used explaining how ISU will probably be a 6 or 7 seed, .Selection committee likes teams who have good road records, because they know how hard it is to win on the road.

The beauty of computers they take emotion. and bias out of it, which is what you want

I’ve been converted fire prohm.
I'm not sure you're being serious, but nobody should feel that way today.
Didn't anybody feel extremely confident about getting a win today? Then Lard is suspended. Was Iowa St even favored?

Majority of people said there's no way they win their last 3, so why are they overly upset when they lose arguably their toughest remaining game? Should they have been blown out? No, but that's what happens when a team gets hot from 3.

They lose in Morgantown, and get blown out at home against tech, then we can all start sharpening our pitchforks.
