I suppose it's a good sign for the condition of our program that I felt like we had a mediocre half and we're up by 12 on the road in a Big 12 game.

Tech is awful.

Defense is playing well most of techs trips is one and done which it should be.

This. I'd be so frustrated if I was a fan on their Bball team.

I don't think they are..they really showed up today. I'm impressed we've handled such a wild environment so well....

Frusterating first half even though we are up by 12. White doesn't look like he is trying and isn't looking to score at all.

 

[Nihawk]

Really need to get Royce going in the second half.

I agree!

 

[cymaniac17]

i would love for the lineup to be like this:

mcgee
scotty
babb
booker
white

bench:
6th man Allen
ejim
Gibson

that starting 5 is the most productive lineup we could have

 

[HFCS]

He gets starter minutes so who cares?

He'll be pretty natural for the starting lineup next year next to 2-4 players who can play point.

Just got to make sure he gets his minutes this year because he is our most consistent offensive scorer and it's not even close. Royce does a ton for the overall offense and is clearly our best rebounder/shot blocker, but if we need points, McGee is the man for now.

Oh yeah.. and a big

If we can continue to grow this lead, I will start drinking the kool aid. I want to see a killer instinct this 2nd half that we haven't seen. Don't want to fall asleep and let them get back in it

 

[Ry4Cy]

I fully understand the sentiment but I have a feeling he's going to have a big game for us in a clutch game this year. Just a feeling.

Hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while lol.

Big 12 News: Tyshawn Taylor just got hurt...looks similar to the J'Covan Brown injury, would help us with that game if he isn't 100%

 

[Cyclonepride]

McGee is the spark this team so often needs off the bench. Who starts in college ball does not matter much. Often starters do not get the most minutes.

Why mess with something that works so well? Leave him as the 6th man, please!

Agreed

 

[scyclonekid]

We need to put this game away early in the second half.

Come on, White looks to get his teammates involved before he looks for his own shot.

Is there a sixth man of the year award in college basketball?? If so, Tyrus HAS to be in the discussion.......

 

[cyguytillidie]

Not a big game so White didn't show up.

Missouri's is pretty good.

Team play is bad play. Wake up and smell the coffee. Or something.

 

[CycloneYoda]

Over half the season is gone. Those who are still trying to tinker with the lineup on CF are now considered broken records and should be put down like the worn out horses that they are.

 

[Cyclonepride]

He really does, and while that took a while for me to get used to, I think he helps just as much going about it that way.

However, the concern is on the defensive end. If he can turn up the intensity on that, and in getting moving in transition (both ways), he will be all conference.
