You just can't get blown out like that so many times in late February. This is a tough league but it can't be an excuse anymore. His X's and O's are good and our guys don't lack motivation or grit. Rebounding and defense are good. His recruiting on paper is fine. The problem that has been consistent is the guys he brings in can't make shots to save their lives. Our 3 point shooting has been atrocious, and now mid range shots are bricking like crazy, and even when we get to the rim I've never seen so many underneath put backs just roll off. I've been chalking it up to bad luck or bad situations or slumps but it has been consistent, year in and year out, we just can't make shots. And many of them are wide open, so the sets are good, and the guys are doing everything right except getting the goddamned ball to go through the hoop. Just clank after clank, brick after brick, often multiple times after successful offensive rebounds. It's been really, really hard for me to blame the head coach, but the buck stops with him, and it's not improving, its getting worse. As much as I hate it, I think we need to move on and find a new head coach. You're probably right. He did a great job responding to the mess Underwood left him, but he hasn't taken the next step.

March 4, 20232 yr Last day of the regular season 11am - ISU @ Baylor - BAY -7.5 1pm - KSU @ WV - WV -5 2pm - TCU @ OU - TCU -2 3pm - KU @ Texas - TEX -3 5pm - OSU @ Tech - TTU -5.5
March 4, 20232 yr It needs to be pointed out every week or so. The off-ball draw of a charge is a pathetic rule and should have been eliminated yesterday. If you're an on ball defender and can defend well enough to get a charge, great. More power to you. But simply standing in the way of a offensive player to draw a foul is ridiculous. Always has been.

March 4, 20232 yr 25 minutes ago, ClubWhatever said: Keonte George seems like a cancer who makes Baylor worse. He doesn’t play a lick of defense
March 4, 20232 yr Clones up 15 with just over 5 min left This would be a huge gift for Texas’ chance to grab that 2 seed

March 4, 20232 yr Baylor’s defense is going to kill them in the tournament. If they get the wrong matchup in the second round, they are done.
March 4, 20232 yr Author The Keyonte George thing couldn't be more obvious. Texas would be playing for a B12 title today if he didn't get hurt in that game. Anyway - beat Kansas and Texas should have a really nice shot at a 2 seed. Edited March 4, 20232 yr by ztejas

March 4, 20232 yr Clones pick themselves off the mat and get a huge win on the road in Waco. Baylor will be the 3rd or 4th seed in KC We will see if this drops them a seed line in the NCAAs too
March 4, 20232 yr So what’s our tie break with KSU? Can we get the 2 in the Big XII tourney if we both win?

Texas (12 - 6) Below Kansas St based on winning percentage against #4 teams [Baylor] (1-1). 4. Baylor (11 - 7) 5. TCU (10 - 😎 6. Iowa St (9 - 9) 7. Okla St (7 - 11) 8.

March 4, 20232 yr Gee. Look at that. A tiebreaker screws us. /Irish Festival, beer-fueled response. F Kansas
March 4, 20232 yr [mention=1238]Al_4_ISU[/mention] may have been right that Grill was just a cancer. Team maybe bought into TJO more for that move A rare instance that someone I hate actually is a shithead.
March 4, 20232 yr Took my godson skiing in BFE Wisconsin and missed the whole thing. Looking forward to rewatching with breakfast and Bloodies tomorrow

March 4, 20232 yr Yeah, the great thing about college basketball is that today’s game against KU still matters even though we can’t get a piece of the conf title. Win today and get a couple wins in the conf tourney to solidify a strong seed. Plenty to play for.
March 4, 20232 yr With baylor & k-state losses, I believe Texas will get #2 seed with win or #3 seed if they lose??
March 4, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, LTtxfan said: With baylor & k-state losses, I believe Texas will get #2 seed with win or #3 seed if they lose?? Correct. KSU has that tie breaker over us bc of their 2-0 record over Baylor in the “mini round robin” of all 3 teams being 11-7 Edited March 4, 20232 yr by Js1
March 4, 20232 yr You guys are burying the lead. OU is likely the greatest team ever with a losing record! Ever!
March 4, 20232 yr Tech in a must win tonight, plus needing at least 2 wins in B12 tournament for shot at "March Madness"
March 4, 20232 yr Fuck Chris Beard and Rodney Terry and fuck this team. Could have won the goddamn conference if you didn’t piss down your goddam leg 2 of the last three games.
