    I used to go play pick-up in that mega gym they have on campus. It has something like 6 courts all in a row. There were some really good games there. I never understood why they would force their students to trek all the way to Chinatown to watch the hoops team.

    Not getting good shots. This is a tough opponent here.

    Good grief. This is the absolute last thing we wanted to see happen.

    It'd be nice if we could hit a wide open shot

    We've had cold streaks in games for as long as I can remember. I wish we could solve that.

    That said, Kansas is good.

    That was a cold streak on steroids. Trading turnovers for 2s and 3s by Kansas.

    It's in those moments (and we had it vs. BYU as well) where we show our youth and miss Loverage.

    This reminds me of the TCU debacle. Hyped game, national TV, total team fail. Ouch. Maybe we can make it more respectable in the second half, but we don't have the offense to narrow the score much.

    I wouldn't go that far...not even close.

    We're showing some fight here.

    Yes. I gave up too soon.

    Well, even so, there's a ton to learn from this game. No matter the outcome, it's a net positive for this team, especially heading into conference play.

    Maybe I should keep giving up. It seems to help!

    Thankful I missed the first 1/2.
    This team at least does not give up, & they are growing up.

    Had a huge opportunity on a pick and roll that last possession that we missed.

    Not sure what Reyes contributes offensively. Must be a behind the scenes guy.

    I'm curious how bad his thumb is. He seems to have really started struggling once that bandage showed up he's certainly vanished

    Wright should have finished that one.

    Needed that and to avoid that steal. Big defensive possession here.

    Taylor caused the Brekkot turnover---stayed behind him so his man could down down from behind.

    That airball and the Chapman TO were pretty deadly.

    Well I am not a big moral victory guy, but that was one.

    We still need to learn to keep our heads in the final seconds of close games. A trey attempt by Poeltl?

    Still, this game helps us at tournament selection time.

    We did a great job to fight and scrap back into the game against probably a better team. That said, you have to be able to get good shots if you're going to stall with the lead with 4 min to go. Given where the game was with momentum, and the lead, I really feel like we handed it to them.

    All that said, this game helps us in every single way.

    miss Loveridge--would be interesting to see if he can show up in a big game like this--guess we find out in the conference.

    I only saw the first half and missed the second. Glad to see them fight back. It like this team.
