Anyone in the know - what the heck is wrong?!?

[Capel's Mustache]

Someone please make me feel better about this dumpster fire. What is going on behind the scenes? Any reason for optimism?

Starts at the top

They can’t shoot anymore

 

[OUSKINS]

They literally don’t do anything well. They have no strengths. And I also think it is fair to question their effort/heart. It’s actually kind of hard to get beat that badly against a so-so team like they did tonight. This is really, really bad. They are a horrendous basketball team.

The difference is at 16-2 they were shooting 41% from 3

Team sucks. Coach sucks. Punch our ticket to ncaa and go back home with a 12-30 point loss, no doubt

 

[Capel's Mustache]

Thanks guys, but I can see the same things. I’m looking more for any info regarding what the heck is going on behind the scenes. This team looks like they can’t stand each other.

 

[coolm]

it's team turmoil man. they are gnawing off their own legs. they lack discipline and leadership.

Can't wait to get run out of the gym in a few weeks by a MAC or Mountain West team while Lon claps.

we'll be a 12 seed playing a 5 seed Houston team coached by Kelvin Sampson because the NCAA loves to do crap like that.

they will beat us within an inch of our lives.

Hard to win when you cant/wont/dont play defense.

I'm seriously doubting that they make the NCAA tourney.

It’s way more than that and you know it. Even when why shoot well, they struggle because they can’t do anything else well. Their defense is terrible. Their basketball IQ is terrible. Their movement and execution on offense is terrible. Their rebounding is way more terrible than it should be. They have no toughness and apparently no pride. They don’t enjoy playing together and the team is fractured to the point of being terminal.

Uhmmmm... I think you are prophetic sir because that's EXACTLY what I can see happening. No doubt. The NCAA, if it's possible, would love to pair us against Houston. Evil bastards!

The Big 12 is a meatgrinder this year, but this team seems to have lost any mental toughness that they might've had earlier in the year. They totally lost any ability to win on the road - - their last road win was on December 30th against TCU, one of only TWO on the year! Think about that: their road record for the year is 2 wins, 9 losses.

In the last 10 games, they’ve only had 2 games where they’ve shot over 40% from 3

And those were the 2 wins, Baylor and KSU

Yep and both are necessary to be a team.

 

[cvangild]

It's pretty simple. When we DON'T shoot it well, we struggle and will most likely lose. Our defense isn't consistent enough to win us games!!

For those of you saying we have no chance to get in the tourney....that would be WRONG. If we win Friday, 100% lock. Even if we lose Friday and lose in the first game of the Big 12...we still have a decent chance, due to the things that have been discussed numerous times (SOS, quality wins, BPI, etc)

Having said that...we could easily lose first game..and most likely will unless our shooting touch returns.

SEVERAL of the missed shots in the 1st half we good shots. 5 of 25 for 20% will NOT get it done. Simple as that.

It’s amazingly simple!

I think the score was 10-10 last night and I said this one was about to get ugly. I saw our wide open 3 attempts were way off. We weren’t going to rely on FTs all night.

Maybe Kruger has open practices hoping some fans will come and help out with his game plans?
