Kind of like the entire game so far.

No defense + no offense x out coached = bad loss.
We are seeing a coach (Lloyd) who has been running specific sets against our defense on almost every half court possession. While our coach runs the SAME set against Arizona which usually ends with a bad shot.

Was hoping this wouldn't happen tonight. This could lead to a 3 to 4 game losing streak.

Could be seeing tired legs and minds creeping in due to no depth. Could be seeing the start of house of cards come tumbling down if we don't get some players back.

Eh, just a bad shooting night coupled with poor defense. It’ll be alright. Expected when we finally obtained a top 25 ranking.

We sure looked one dimensional tonight. The rebounding issues will be a problem all year, defense had no answers and Small cannot be the only offense. Second half adjustment? Hmmmm.

Next 5

@ Colorado 9-4 (0-2)
@ Houston 11-3 (3-0)
Iowa State 13-1 (3-0)
Arizona State 10-3 (1-1)
@ Kansas State 7-7 (1-2)

Should beat Colorado but you never know when it's in an away game and in the mountains.
@ Houston loss unless we get some help back we might stand a chance.
ISU probably another home loss. Which is why losing to Arizona was bad. Beat Kansas at the Phog and turn around and lose to Arizona at home. Just gave it right back.
Arizona State not sure about them. It's at home we will need this one.
Then @ Kansas State a very winnable game but very tough to do at their place.

3-2 would be great 2-3 would be ok 1-4 or 0-5 spells disaster and no tournament.

11 wins need to find at least 8 more.

18 wins (before Big 12 tourney) gets us in as a 8-9 seed.

This will be the norm if we don't get Tucker and Stone back. We have zero depth now. Zero offensive options (other than Small).
Arizona played 13 guys and their bench scored 34 points
WVU played 10 but the bench is non existent and only scored 10.
