Big 12 Basketball Tournament

Fraschilla was talking as though he thinks the season is over. I don't care either way honestly.

Getting more playing time will only help those young players (like Ragland, Ahmed and Crotty). So would be beneficial for next year.

I thought so too, looked at the stats and OSU finished dead last in conference in defense last year. Finished 14th this year, so improved by two spots.

It felt like we were much more active on defense last year, picking up the ball earlier and creating more turnovers. But maybe we were worse last year.

Either way, I'm confident there weren't as many breakdowns that led to dunks, layups, and wide open threes.

OSUs defensive stats will be a little skewed because the offense plays so fast.

Lutz postgame

"Disappointing thing, we've played them three times, controlled the game, but it comes down to rebounding, and holding box outs, and being physical."

"We gave up 14 offensive rebounds in the 2nd half, that's hard to overcome."

"We shared the ball better in the first half than the second. When they started switching, we probably went to too much iso. That's my fault"

"The game came down to a fist fight five feet around the basket and we lost."

"We've made strides, we're at 19 wins, our RPI is up, but ultimately this stings because we had the game and didn't get it done."

Probably went too much iso?

Rinse repeat. Not being physical is the antithesis of Cowboy basketball. These 2 years have been an embarrassment. We are soooo far away from when we were last good

He said it as though that was the strategy he called for. I guess catch them in the switches and go one on one

I heard him say this and thought maybe that was why Clary went 1:1 so much in the last few minutes. If that is true, what an awful strategy. It backfired big time.

Well

It's the old - is what it is. Did loose the big man for the tourney, amazing how many second chance opps tcu had on free throw misses. We are real small comparatively. I still back Lutz. The new class will determine the future - need more besides the new "studs". I will continue my small contribution to basketball and expect better. Not sure if "stargazer?" will do anything - as a "major donor".
