Worst Loss under Kruger

[SoonerBred]

Sorry but with a 20 point lead and everything that was riding on this game, this is the worst loss in the Lon Kruger era by far!

 

[MercedeSooner]

Creighton was worse. ISU is a different animal.

 

[JBaker]

By far.
And this one is on Kruger.
The lack of adjustments on defense in the second half was absolutely inexplicable. If they're going to just iso all half, you can't keep putting 6-2 guards on 6-9 Niang possession... After possession... After possession.

The Creighton game meant nothing. This game meant the entire conference.

It's maddening how Bipolar this team can be

What a waste of a season to let an undisciplined player ruin it for us with trash talk. The sad thing is he knows better and has been playing great, but in one comment went all the way back to his Freshman days.

Kruger is a good guy and can build a good team... but he's an average at best coach.

Doesnt make the Team block out, take good shots, or demand effort sometimes..

Guess my expectations are different then, I think it's pretty clear this team is what it is at this point for better or worse. This isn't the first time ISU has done this on their home floor against us and a ton of other really good teams.

Two points! The Cousins T cost us TWO POINTS.
The whole team let the next 20 consecutive points without us scoring one happen.

This is their biggest comeback in 30 years.

The cousins T got into this teams' head including Cousins who was helping to dominate this game!

can't solely blame him, but it was his T that got it started, and then he kept getting exposed on defense by Niang. Also the offense went into the worst drought of the last decade it seemed

 

[OklaSooners]

By far worse loss. This one is on Kruger and bonehead cousins.

 

[SoonerBred]

The Cousins T unbalanced the officiating. Up until that point we were getting the benefit of the doubt on some calls but after the bad sportsmanship the officials were not going to give us any 50/50 calls.

Sure it is but ISU at home is a great team. We have given up some terrible leads in games over and over and you had to know ISU was coming regardless of Cousin's T or not. It sucks but given our overall play this year and our lack of toughness in close games and games on the road I just don't think we should be that surprised at what happened.

Niang has 3-4 inches and 40+ pounds on Cousins. Are your surprised he could take him by manhandling him?

You don't give a team like this any reason to get back in the game and then give the Jayhawks another big XII title. What a ****ing joke!

No, I was surprised at the lack of a ****ing adjustment. ISU made one at half, we didn't counter, we got exposed as individual defensive players, and we give up 59 second half points

I agree - it was a bad play on his part but if we had some leadership and guts we would have easily overcome it. The fact that we continually let them spread us out and get layups was worse and the fact that we puckered up on offense was worse. That said, I also give them a lot of credit as well.

That is on the coach.
