We shot 33% from the field, 25% from 3, turned it over 9 times, and got the short end of several whistles. I like our chances in the second half.

Just checking in...I'm still ticking.
For sure. Its a good reality check of "is this **** ******** or am I just wrapped up in the game" if the neutrals are or are not feeling the same thing.
Has Greenburg watched Kansas this year? Just no.
Love how they present that as Lunardi’s top 16. The dude is just regurgitating the bracket reveal from the weekend. It would be idiotic to not have it be that until this week’s games are done.
We are still in it boys!!! Really that’s all you could ask for after the way that first half started. Hope the officiating balances itself out, but we will see.
Curtis Jones continues to be so important. Milan got a feel for the game late. This game is winnable.
Don't care all that much about the outcome at this point. Getting punched in the mouth by one of the top 5 teams, on the road, with all the whistles going against them, and they continue their relentless effort and have fought their way back into the game. This team has shown they're going to be a contender in March.
It’s just all down to how the refs feel on any given day. They are all so bad at their jobs and they’ve gotten a pass for far too long as some kind of like unassailable Supreme Court Justice.
Huggins always was the same. Play 'cant call em all' defense, and then still complain about the calls so the refs might subconsciously think they're treating both sides fair if they're both unhappy. All part of the psychological battle with the refs. And it usually worked for Huggins. We had a bunch of games we somehow had more fouls despite them being all over us
It was a weird thing to say. He has a National Championship contender but his offense doesn’t work because ONE guy is on the bench?
He said the same crap pregame! How great Kansas is. The blinders are amazing! I know our offense isn’t elite, but it’s not been bad this year!!
If you go look at the game flow of the first meeting in Ames this is going about exactly opposite.
They started really slow and slowing crawled back in it. Then it was anybodys game in the last few mins.
But they were down 10 at half, although had it closer just before. After half it just tightened.
So lets hope the flow continues to match and our few extra points at half lead us to a close win in the end.

Had it been like football with league specific officials I would definitely be concerned. But hoops officials officiate so many leagues these days, I suspect many have crossed paths with ISU and Houston
Extremely fortunate we got so many minutes out of Ward in Gilbert without picking up their thirds
