He is a developmental big, likely to redshirt.

Think it's almost a done deal that the NCAA is going to allow 5 years to play 5, so no more redshirts. With 15 roster spots now too, and no more walk-ons, might as well get him into some games. That way we can see if he is a stiff like Stephen ...

Holding schools in limbo really blows. Had to be a better way to coordinate the timelines of college bball and the NBA draft

It's my understanding that the "transfer window" is not a deadline for athletes to actually commit to a new school. They can still transfer and commit to other ...

Agree! Do the players sign a physical 1 year contract? Men’s bball is 2 years away from imploding (my opinion.)

Hey….be nice…..I felt the context was there to pose the question, should we be unable to secure Bryant

LuteIsGod

I don’t understand the rules, but if we lose Bryant can we go after Henri and bring him back? I think a football player did this a season ago, after he agreed to transfer and then stayed with his previous team.

Henri has already committed to NC.

I understand that, but can he decommit is my ...

College basketball is dying. Flagg is rumored to make as much as our whole team makes. I'm excited about the young guys but this having 1/4 to 1/3 of your team transfer every year is killing the sport. How soon before Tommy jumps to a program with more money?

Thats my fear as well.

KJ reminds me of Solomon Hill.
I felt his first 2 years Hill knew what to do and had the physical skills to do things but his brain was not in sync with his body. Example: he seemed to always try a spin move in the lane. Most of the time he would travel or lose the ball as he started his dribble ...

I am glad Love ended on a high note. Huge props to him. I confess I thought he needed to be benched early in the year. He took terrible shots, missed them badly and seemed completely disengaged on the court. But he turned it around big time the last two months and he goes down as a great Wildcat ...

Yeah, I thought that call was terrible and we had several second half foul calls where we were using the principal of verticality and were still whistled.

LuteIsGod

I doubted Tommy all year. He earns an A this season for having his team energized and ready to play in the Big 12 tourney and then the Big Dance.
Caleb deserves an A for matching Tommy’s excellence late in the season and into the tourney.
Henri and Carter needed to play better defensively to gives ...

Wow! Our Cats stayed in the game early on by attacking and scoring around the basket. Boomshalakawaka offended the Ducks with his strength and Love had the game of his career. The energy on this team since the conference tourney has been unbelievable. Props to DellAfro for hitting those FTs at the ...

Great coaching job by Tommy to keep it close with only 6 players that belonged out there. Just can't run 6 3 games in 3 days.

This is it. Can’t be upset with our results but man I can’t believe ADO and TT are on this roster. They can’t guard, not tough and get lost a lot.

Win two next ...

LuteIsGod

Wow! Another disciplined win. I’m very happy for our team. How does our team go from being lackadaisical at the end of conference play to being focused and disciplined in the tourney? I know it’s coaching, but what did Tommy do differently?

I think this is Tommy’s biggest win

Ass hands….I used them in league games and it works. Also did it to a manager that wouldn’t stop nagging me.

Or have Awaka not take a shower for a week and then use ass hands (run your hands between your ass crack for some stink) on Dickinson.

If we lose in the 1st round, it will be because Love jacked up a bunch of bad shots with 5 minutes to play plus some terrible turnovers.

Love is addicted to the bad shot

Phantom foul call against us

LuteIsGod

looking at the stats, caleb 2/5 FG 1/13PT seems surprising

He hasn't been open at all. The one 3 was a catch and shoot so they need to work on that. Nothing is going to happen inside. Both Awaka and Veesaar look really discouraged trying to cover Dickinson.

They’re leaving him open on the 3 line.

The other thing I have noticed is that teams are now consistently double teaming the ball handler above the 3 line now and we are unable to pass or dribble out of that double teams.

Really poor effort tonight….Iowa St is scrimmaging against us now. Put in a few more of our bench players to give them some PT. I think this is the first game where we were never in it.

Sloppy 2nd half….I thought that Tommy would sub in the 8th and 9th players to see if that forced the starters to focus
