Not trying to start another negative post but man this team is frustrating! We have the most under rated pg in the country in man man. We have niang an All-American. We have athleticism in burton and nader. We have a sharp shooter and defensive specialist in thomas. And when mckay has his head on straight we have a good rim protector. I know the b12 is tough but come on! This team has lost 2 times in hilton which just shouldn't happen anymore especially to teams we are more talented then and we lost to tech on the road. It has to be something mental. Its not like techs crowd caused us to lose. How can you win vs ou and ku then lose to tech? What can this team do to get going from here on out when it really counts?
 
At least we can count on the fan support to really put their heads down and stick with the team when the going gets tough.
 
Depth, depth, depth.

McKay was out, Naz missing really hurts this team as well(See: Depth). Forced to play players who are not ready to contribute in the first half (See: Depth). Refs called a tight game which put our starters in foul trouble, which caused us to have to play porous defense late in the game (See: Depth). Bone headed plays, possibly caused by fatigue late in the game (See: Depth)
 
These guys have struggled some this year remembering how to do these things called "winning games" and "putting teams away". Pair that up with being currently down two starters, and what you have is what you see now.
 
This team really Misses Naz Long and the coaching of Fred Hoiberg..................I will say it again This Team Peaked Last Year in Kansas City.....

Really missing a lot of easy transition baskets that we had last year...This Coach and Team need to look in the mirror...And then look at Tapes of last years team...................
 
Missing that hard nosed, not gunna fuking lose this one, kind of player.

If you honestly look at this roster, it really hasn't upgraded since Kane and Ejim graduated. No doubt there's talent, but it's not better than that year, and its not better than last year.

So that puts us back to Clyburn's year, and they were middle of the Big 12 and a 10 seed.
 
Need more aggressive play from Ashton and Cooke because they are just ball passers when on the court. They need to make more plays when they are on the court.
 
Nothing is wrong with this team. Your expectations need readjusted. This is a good team but not great. Hopefully they can make a good run in March but don't expect it.
 
Nothing is wrong with this team, lost a team leader, playing without a talented headcase, got no grad transfer this year, thus creating a short bench because they have not sniffed a high end high school player for a couple of years.

We lost to a much worse Tech team last year.

As far as the road goes, we lost to KSU and beat Texas last year, this year flipped other than that nothing has changed.
We have 1 more home loss. That is the only difference
