This. Also why did TT get the ball after we shot the free throws?
I think that's just the rule. It goes to possession arrow or something.
Used to be two shots and ball back.
Depth. It's the depth that makes us so scary for opponents. And it's what *should* protect us against an early round exit in the tournament. Using their example, if BRE has foul trouble and lipsey has a bum knee. We have Ward and Pav.
Watson barely sees the court and could fill in 15 minutes pretty easily. We have a deeeeep team full of + talent.
I've said it before, but our biggest fear should be that a team just goes off from 3pt land. We can survive just about anything else.
Rule changed years ago. Team gets 2 FT’s and team in possession keeps the ball. Tech had possession.
That was great. Thanks for sharing. I have to find more from these guys.
What we're witnessing this season is something to be remembered. There are several different guys that can step up each night and Lipsey is going to be solid every game. Gilbert has been so good lately and the defense has just been so solid.
Let's keep this up and looking forward to a top 10 matchup Monday night!

Kansas lost as well to a team we recently played.
Right, they will get the typical KU/Duke/UNC Discount on losses along with (i) road game, (ii) they were missing McCuller and half of Harris, and (iii) recency bias from beating a ranked-but-overrated OU team. I doubt we overtake them.
I am excited to hopefully see Wisconsin drop out of the Top 25 after losing for the 5th time in their last six games with three of those losses to NIT/CBI/not-in-any-tournament teams. No idea how they stayed in last week after losing to the worst team in the Big 10 then getting their doors blown off by Rutgers who is #84 in NET.

Keshon has been LTFI (locked the f*** in) lately, he's so good. Scoring, hitting jump shots, making great decisions/assists/hockey-assists, and lockdown D. He Little Brother'd Pop Isaacs very badly yesterday, he was a non-factor in that game.
Wow! Somehow I missed that. Apparently with most technicals I've seen recently they have occurred when the opposing team had the ball, which makes sense it would be more likely to happen that way.
What were the students chanting at Isaacs yesterday? Sounded like Isaacs is a lier?
I don't want to hear any nonsense about discounting this win because Washington was out.
Injuries are part of the game and affect all teams.
We didn't get any bonus points when we were missing Ward against every non-con team with a pulse, nor for playing a Big 12 road game without Lipsey who was our only reliable player at the time, or for the many games after that where he clearly hasn't been 100%.
I'm sort of joking with this last point but sort of not, Omaha was out with a back issue. He barely plays but we could have used some minutes from him, Ward was in foul trouble and only played nine minutes.

Edit… apparently not as wholesome as I was making it

I'd like to see the % of teams that made deep runs that had at least one game that required some good fortune to even win in the first two rounds and/or Sweet Sixteen.
I'd guess it's 60%+.
1 seeds get beat now. It’s actually a ****** way to decide a champion, but it’s also a great way to decide a champion.
Contrast that with the CFP, a more “proper” way to find a champion. Which of the two is more beloved by the fans?
Pretty sure it was a bit less family-friendly than that ("She's a minor").
Yep it's not the massive money maker because it all goes according to plan.
I'd have to look up who the last 5 NCAA champs were but I can remember the bigger upsets although even those are less and less memorable.
