Looked like DeAndre was really struggling with cramps down the stretch. That certainly didn't help as he was carrying the load for most of the game.
You can't say that with a straight face. On the road or not, the Cyclones are not executing consistently and that is a major concern.
I'm much more upset about our turnovers.
P.S. Baylor should be upset because Cherry made the dunk instead of giving it to a senior (Jefferson) who was right there.
This is kinda meltdown worthy. This team had every opportunity to beat a very average team on the road and played terribly.
Interesting, when did we ever make a final 4 regularly? Name me teams that get to the Final 4 regularly? Amazing insight there.
Totally agree. If you don't want him to dunk there, don't play like **** for 39.5 minutes.
I was hoping to be a 2/3 seed for Big 12 tourney so we don't have to leave Des Moines early in the morning on Thursday but looks like I should be making arrangements to do so. That with playing #1 seed in 3rd round if we win doesn't bode well...worst position possible given we were in sole possession on 2nd place 4 days ago.
Well I agree with that. I include the coach as "team problem." I was ranting on here with 10 minutes left to sit Ejim and Niang.
Baylors length really affect the game and the fact they played in our guys face most night really affected the outcome. They just struggled moving the ball. Hats of to Scott Drew for figuring out how to use all the talent he has.
Bad time of the year to get into this type of a funk. We had numerous opportunities to get back in this game tonight but our inside game was so horrible we just couldn't open up the offense even though we were pretty good hitting 3's. Fred just couldn't find the right line-up but I don't think Fred could of done anything to get these guys going. Ejim's birthday party last night just kicked everybody's legs tonight. I just don't get how bad we sucked tonight and this was a game we needed to win.
I don't see this team doing much in the Big 12 tourney or the NCAA. I really don't.
We have to realize they are only 8-7 in their last 15 games. Nothing much to get too excited about.
Even with a win against Okie State Saturday, I don't think they will be any higher than a 5 seed at best and more likely they will be a 6 or 7 seed. They are not a very good team away from Hilton.

Major? Lol no. These games have been huge for our opponents and not real important for us. Fred is certainly going to try to win them, but the real games start in a couple weeks. With that said, I think OSU is very important to get back some swagger.
It's not like we were standing around letting them run out the clock. Don't be a pusscakes.
Hate to admit it but you may be right re: coaching. We looked we never practiced against that zone. No one seemed to know where they were supposed to be or do.
on the bright side, looks like Long, Hogue, and Kane have found their stroke from outside. Even Thomas looked good.
I don't have a problem playing Baylor or K-State on KC. We will beat them on a more neutral court.
I think a lot of people had hopes that this team would separate itself from the pack a bit (KU aside). But we're right in the middle of the pack like we have been the 2 previous years. Look really good in some games (home) and look terrible in others (road). That's fine, but we have all seen this before.
