2nd half FT attempts -- Texas 26 Kstate 0 ( and last 27 min, Tex 32 Ksu 0)

[MakeItRain]

It's the road.  We got homered.  When you don't have an elite player or an elite reputation this crap happens.  Big deal.  

We lost this game in the first 8 minutes of the second half when UT came out and punched us in the mouth, hit a flurry of shots, and we had no response.

Why do you keep posting different versions of the same thing?  No one stated we lost simply because of 26-0, it could have been 26-12 and we still would/could have lost.  This thread is simply about the absurdity of 26-0 and about dumbasses acting like its no big deal.

Not absurd, and not a big deal.

Lol. Troll hard, cat27.

[catzacker]

like, just went through the play-by-play....it's ESPN so not sure how accurate, but  piss and moan about the officiating up to that point, but @ 8:25, UT took the lead w/ a Brown 3 pointer to make it 54-56 UT.....then until the 1 minute mark of the game.....

Jamar - 0-2, 2 TO's, 2 Fouls
Awful  - 1-3, 2 TO's, 1 Foul
South - 2-2, 0 TO's, 0 Fouls
McSuck - 0-0, 1 TO, 0 Fouls
Won't - 0-2, 0 TO's, 1 Foul
Diaz - 0-0, 0 TO's, 0 Fouls
Gipsuck - 0-1, 0 TO's, 0 Fouls

collectively - 3-10, 6 TO's, 4 Fouls

We had an opportunity to win the game, when it was just a 2 point ball game....and 4 fouls called on us in 7 minutes.  So, bitch away at the 3 guys in stripes that don't deserve it instead of the guys in purple that do.

Currie tweeted about it and has since been deleted.

What did he say?

'What's the foul count in the second half?'

was quickly removed.

[Powercat Posse]

Of Texas 10 fouls in 1st half,  5 were by starters 5 were by their bench.     Chapman and Kabongo had 2 fouls each.   Bond had 3 (not a starter).    

Its not like Brown was 1 of those 2 guys with 2 fouls

[Cartierfor3]

Horrible defense.  That is why we are now officially bubble. 

[michigancat]

actually I'm pretty sure we're literally on the bubble.

Gottlieb tweeted that we were on the outside looking in, but with a home game. None of this matters, because the next 3 games will probably be the determining factor.

Once again, no one has said the officials cost us the game.  There are four of you hell bent on arguing, foregoing all common sense.  You're getting the same strawman that wabash got.

We can go 0-3 and still be fine as long as we win the next 3.  People still think UCONN is in the tourney for heavens sake.

I agree that it's absurd, and I agree that it played a part.  What I'm trying to focus on is the bigger picture pattern of losing that continues to repeat itself.  Because, there are obviously substantially much bigger reasons for why we lost today than a bunch of crap that is out of our control like shitty officiating.  

Does it piss me off that we got homered? Yeah.  I'm just more pissed off because we don't have the mental strength to overcome it and I'm sick and effing tired of watching the same identical repeating scenario play out that leads to another loss and contributes to a squandered season.

I'm more pissed about shooting 32.8% and allowing UT to shoot 68.2% from the field in route to getting outscored by 20 in the second half.  

To each his own.  There was a lot of shittiness to pick from this afternoon.

[catzacker]

then why bring the officiating up?  christ, do you watch this team?  we don't have anyone who can get into the lane and get contact or  if the shot is missed it's more likely that a foul is going to occur because the defense was out of position because it had to help. when this occurs over and over and over and over again, fouls will pile up.

The whole thing is frustrating no doubt. We've been in every game we've played in the 2nd half at least within 3 points. We've had double digit leads in multiple games. We've had the lead in the last 10 minutes in multiple games. And we've found multiples ways to lose.

Again, a bit part of the frustration is that Frank's teams have been pretty good in these games his first four years, and this year outside a couple it has been a real struggle.

Replace mental strength with talent and I agree totally.  Overcoming what had to be overcome requires shot making, we clearly don't have enough of that.  I actually think that mentally the team did well not to completely meltdown.  Being strong mentally won't score points.

Watching this team piss down their legs against Baylor, OU, Iowa State, and now Texas in identical fashion after amassing big leads is what infuriates me the most.  

And I agree, what's hard is Frank won these games in the past because we have gotten accustomed to players that have risen to the challenge and our teams have been mentally tougher down the stretch.

Watching the return to Jim Wooldridge basketball has been hard.

It is a talent issue, mostly.  Talented players inherently have more confidence and they want the ball in their hands down the stretch.  We've got a bunch of role players and no elite play makers that we can rely on during critical stretches in the game.  Very frustrating.

[wabash909]

Right.  Instead of finishing 6-10, we'll finish 8-10, and there will be numerous close losses. 

Totally different.

Wooly's best season was being outside of the NIT at 17-12.  Our win over Missouri is better than any win under Gentle Jim.

Programs like ours are going to have years like this.  We just have to hope we balance them with 2009-2010 type of seasons.

we can't expect our program to go to the NCAA every year, Wabash.  That's f'ing crazy talk.  Just be happy that it's better than Wooly, Asbury, and Dana.  The floor is always the standard.
