This team is one legitimate big on the bench away from being real decent. it's so tough to watch the substitutions that have to be made so Wade and DJamer can try and hang around for 40 minutes. I really feel like this will be the death of this team.

Also, I love Wes, but he's so damn out of control at times and it's really cost us in pivotal moments. 

[pissclams]

we're so close to decent that i can almost literally taste it

[Pett]

oscar is now 4-25 in conference road games since 2013-14.

That record in itself is a fireable offense

HUR HUR HUR

Or just a living, moving body like Luis Colon, dumb eff.

[420seriouscat69]

eff, give me Tyler Hughes to spell one of these guys for a few minutes.

I'll never consider this team to be a serious contender if Budke is getting minutes outside of 20 pt scoring margin (+/-) situations.

[michigancat]

I found Budke's 3 fouls in 3 minutes stretch to be pretty entertaining

[420seriouscat69]

Unless they bring in a decent JUCO big next season that doesn't look like a flag pole, they'll never be a serious threat. Dante (who left), Maruice, and Love all have the same body type. A baby deer on ice type bod. Only JO could pull that off here.

I mean, for as much as oscar is getting criticized for blowing games against three solid teams (2 on the road and 1 neutral) he is not getting enough credit for putting together a team that supposedly should be undefeated and ranked in the top 5.

I see what you are saying, but they still lost 3 games. Being close doesn't prevent them from being losses and until this team can break the trend of not finishing the game (the Texas game was really bad too) no one is going to give oscar credit.

[catastrophe]

I agree, and there is still a lot of season left, but my broader point is there is a lot to coaching besides finishing games. If we want to go get a coach who makes better in game adjustments and closes out then fine, but people just take for granted that anyone else could even have our players in these kinds of positions late in games which is ridiculous. The one thing I'm pissed at oscar for is scheduling such a crappy non-con (which possibly could have made our guys perform better under pressure in the early conference slate). But who knows, maybe the easy start helped us develop a better shooting rhythm on offense this season.

[Trim]

He's been getting a lot of credit in some circles.

i like to think Budke is doing it so oscar has to play Maurice

[michigancat]

Success in "finishing games" always balances out over the course of a season. _FAN, if anyone, should be able to recognize that.

2.  The absolute dumbest thing I see is people looking at FT numbers and then using them as absolute proof the officiating was biased.  KU fans were hilariously trotting out the fact that K-State shot more free throws in Allen as proof that they had been cheated that game prior to the no call on the travel.  It is one of the worst types of talking points.

This. Imagine baseball fans complaining "Well the WHITE SOX pitchers got called for 25 balls and the ROYALS get 31? Unreal."

The other irony of that talking point is that an equal number of foul shots given to both teams is just as much an indicator of makeup calls and thus poor officiating.

[420seriouscat69]

I'm less mad now. Looked like Kam traveled at the end. Oh well.

That's not how randomness works.

[CNS]

The note about Luis Colon is right.  We don't need Baby Shaq.  We just need a Colon, a Ron Anderson, etc.  I just don't think oscar knows bigs.
