On top of the general suck-fest, it wasn't nice to see Aldrich come don on his ankle like that at the end and wince. Looked like he walked it off though.
Something about that Bob Knight motion offense -- Self just can't seem to coach against it effectively on the road.
I hate to needle our guys, but I can't help but think Sherron was dealt some poetic justice from the basketball gods for his ball-hogging display at OU. (He did have 4 assists, though, and would have gotten more if his teammates had been hitting.)
Odd that Cole always struggles against the smaller teams. Hope that sprain is of the quick-healing variety...
In some ways, this isn't as bad to me as the UMass game. UMass didn't even play very well in that one; we just sort of pissed it away. This one could be explained by the statistical anomaly of a kid on senior night going 9-14 from beyond the arc. Tech really DID play well.
For us, a one seed in the Big Dance is an impossibility now, and we're going to have to win the conference tourney to get a 2, I think. Good news about that is we've clinched the 1 seed for the Big 12 tourney, so we don't have to face Mizzou or OU till the final.

ReplyDeleteThat's definitely the correct headline, YHD.
