Just understand that the resident too cool for school crowd is going accept turning the ball over on 30% of the possessions and move on

I don't want anyone on the staff fired. Don't think you change rotations in any way. I'm not going to run practices, so yeah, I'm going to move on. What are you going to do?

LMAO, who said anything about firing anybody, changing rotations or running practice?  Are there people wanting coaches fired?  Where?

Valuing the ball and playing a little smarter isn't going to hurt the cool or fun factor of the game/team/program.

Sounds like you have accepted the 30% TO rate and moved on, sad really.

Quis and KJ need special coaching help to recognize and mitigate the double teams.  The turnovers are largely coming from those situations.

Already been said but there were some absolutely putrid, terrible TOs in that game last night. It looks like Keyontae's handle is not working anymore (probably needs to adjust to double teams or something) and Markquis had some horrible TOs - just flinging the ball as hard as he could at a teammate's feet to throwing it toward nobody in particular. I love my Cats and Coach Tang and I have faith that everything is going to be okay and the season will end up exceeding expectations when all is said and done but the TOs were really, really bad last night.

I don't know how you got that out of what I said, but if you need to think that  :thumbsup:

Scream "eff KU" until the TOs cease.

Tomlin is the weakest big off the catch when in the paint in the conference.

Well, he isn't a back to the basket big, so there's that.

Not a good loss, I get winning on the road is hard but this basically ices us out of winning the conference

That happened when we lost at home to UT

Neither of these things are true. I don't know how y'all can continue to watch good college basketball teams lose head scratching games, every damn night, and think all of a sudden this is going to stop. We're pretty much out of chances at this point but I have zero confidence that Texas is good enough to go though their schedule without taking two losses.

Still is amazing how quickly the expectations were raised.  That's a good thing.

On the one hand, it’s hard to imagine we’ll make a deep tourney run this year if we can’t pull out games like last night.

On the other hand, good on Tang for raising the bar so much that games like that hurt as much as they do.

Tournaments aren't played on the road. Too many people are being emo about last night, better than apathy, I guess.

This league is nuts. OSU (!) is on a 5 game winning streak. We beat them tomorrow (in their place), and we're tied for no. 1. We lose, and we're basically no. 7, ignoring ties and the outcome of y'alls game. This is a big game.

The amount of parity in the league this year is on par with the other conferences except on a comically exaggerated scale

Better to be a 16 team conference than join the mountain west is what I always say.

Same. Home and home is something all conferences should be required to have. I love it.

We've been truly blessed.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
