I can't even force myself to say "a win is a win" right now. UGLY doesn't do justice for the game we watched last night. It would have to rank right up there with some of the worst exhibitions of basketball I have ever witnessed at the college level.
The biggest disappointment for me is that it came on the heels of what may have been our best performance of the season on the defensive side of the ball against K-State. I kept waiting to see that same intensity, but it never came. It was like the team expected to sleep-walk their way to a win, and that's exactly what they did for at least 35 of the 40 minutes.
I'm happy we got the win. But there is no way I'm happy with the preformance. I said last night that if the opponent had been any team in the conference except Texas Tech, the result would have been a loss on our home floor in a game everybody who knows anything about basketball expected us to win.
Coach Kruger has a lot of work to do before we play in College Station on Saturday.
