Bubble Team :frown:

calm the eff down.

Sweep Tech. TCU at home. Texas at home. Baylor at home, ISU split? , KU loss. I still see 6-7 more conference wins. Winning on the road against good teams will be a chore if we don't have Foster playing better.

Win 2 more on the road and only 1 home loss (we know who this is) and we're in good shape. Get to 10 conference wins and I'll feel pretty decent going into the conference tournament.

This thread makes me reflect on how easy it is to be at least on the bubble, and how bad Wooly was that we were never better than the NIT bubble.

You can lose a lot and be a bubble team

Wooly lost at least 4 conference games at home every season and only had a few road wins.

All I could think about yesterday evening was McGruder' shot last year to beat Baylor and that CARMA can be a BITCH! :bang:

This is the game I immediately thought of, too. I think Gip had fouled out which would've favored Baylor in OT.

Its often said that you make your own breaks. K-State had chances to do just that and were on the verge of taking control of a close game on the road, but when you miss that many shots at the basket, especially in the stretch run, the home team most often is going to win.

Gip played a fantastic game, but still had a key miss down the stretch.

When Southwell and Foster go 8-24 and 2-12 from 3 its going to be tough to win any game.

Felix and Ridley were too much.

Disappointing loss and a missed opportunity.
Our ST% has gone in the garbage since the start of big 12 play. In conference we are last in ST%, last year we lead the league. This is super frustrating.
