why the surprise?

[michigancat]

Wasn't it like 2 weeks ago that we barely beat the 12th place team?

The team has middle of the Big 12 pack talent, and when they don't outwork the opponent (which has happened a lot at home), they can get beat by anyone.  I just don't understand the shock everyone is expressing.

Glad Frank gets an extension, though.  Hopefully he doesn't leave, anyway.

More shocked at the way Frank handles the "talent" he does have . . . but not that shocked that we lost at all. 

Also concerned that this team is worn out and missing as many easy shots as we did is indicative of a tired team IMO.

It's shaping up to be just like last year, only in the NCAA tourney . . . but at least it's the NCAA tourney.

The biggest thing is Te420K needs to get off his ass and start landing better than slightly above average talent, or this is the way it's always going to be . . . which ain't bad mind you, but I wouldn't mind doing a little better.

in my glass half full mind, if we woulda made one more 3, game wouldn't have even been to Overtime. I will just chock this up to a bad shooting day.  

3-23 from 3? GMAFB

bad shooting a product of being tired too though.  hopefully 5 days b4 next game helps some.

I'm mad because I'm selfish.  I wanted to see the Cats win 12. Wanted Clem to leave Bram with a W. Wanted Lu's Ma to see him shoot and swish a J from just left of the FT stripe. (okay, that's part isn't true).  Wanted McD to hang his head in shame as he MVC's another sure win.

That kind of stuff.

Brackins, gilstrap, dendy.  Underrated talent.

More disappointment and embarrassment for me.  And, coming to grips that we really aren't a Top 10 caliber team.  Pretty sure every other team in the Top 10 would beat us fairly soundly on a neutral court.

they weren't underrated.  top 30, best juco in his class, top 100 respectively.  more like forgotten about after they got to ames talent.
