Regardless of what happens, these guys fought like crazy the last month to make the tournament. Left it all on the floor, showed incredible improvement, and didn't let the mid-season losing streak impact their attitudes or effort. I hope we make the tournament, because we're going to have a shot to beat quite a few teams.
 
As an example of improvement -- our defensive rating at Ken Pom has improved from 165+ in the beginning of February to 108 after tonight's game. Playing at a really high level the last 11 games.

I can't argue with this. I'm neither a sunshine pumper nor a pants p*sser. I'll always root for the guys wearing the OU logo.

They indeed left it on the floor.

exactly, i will never bring myself to cheer for losses. Just for a bad season to end soon enough. Wish this season had 1 more game to play tomorrow for sure, it was fun cheering for this team the past 3 weeks.

After the 9 game losing streak, I expected us to slump into Nashville with a very low seed and for Porter to be fired backstage on Wednesday afternoon at Bridgestone Arena.

Now I expect it to be in a Monday morning meeting in Norman with Roger Denny after a heartbreak on Sunday's selection show.

I’m sad tonight, but proud of their effort. We gave them a real battle and it took an elite effort by a future NBA lottery pick to eliminate us by a basket. I think we’re a tourney team, but the nine game losing streak may be too much to overcome.

Don’t tell that to some on here man they’ll ask for your credentials lol
 
I'm all for giving the team credit for the last 3 weeks because they played their asses off and fought like crazy. But where in the hell was this effort/execution for the first 2/3 of the season? And that is what drives me crazy. We could have been a 4 or 5 seed if we would have buckled down from the start. And yet as always under this coaching staff, we are fighting to be even semi-relevant. Hope we sneak in....but I can't in good conscious support more of this crap moving forward.
