Always looking on the bright side, right? This team will be in the NIT...not that that is a particularly laudable accomplishmentwatch us not get in the NIT and it won’t be so meaningless. Even if we do get in it will affect our seating. A loss like this can tank a team who has been playing so well.

Yeah, you don’t see a lot of 16-15 teams in the NIT, we’re on the bubble for sure.....Are you sure we will make the NIT? Check this out...

Lots of tricky tack fouls it looked like but we also have a low basketball IQ team when it comes to that as we have seen down the stretch against Clemson, OU and evening Baylor although we held onThis may have been covered but OU made 10 free throws in the last 5:02 in the game. The team that was BEHIND. It would make sense if the team that was up by 13 made that many because the losing team was fouling. It is almost impossible that the team that was behind made that many. I am not one to blame referees, but those fouls were so ticky tack and that little [ hundin] Reaves took advantage by flailing around like a [ hundin].

Hard to get fouled at the 3 pt line - unless you are playing TCUThere were almost 40 fouls called in that game. How many free throws did our higher average players take in the second half when OU started the comeback? How many freebies did Bane attempt in particular?
I do blame refs. Its pretty clear they have done what they can to make wins hard on TCU. That Reaves kid sold it well but man, the fouling was so ticky tack. Pathetic. And then, when someone is so on fire they cant miss, its not hard to see why this happened.This may have been covered but OU made 10 free throws in the last 5:02 in the game.

So we have nobody that can “sell it well”? That’s on us IMO. We could have generated a slew of fouls but chose not to. There’s at least a couple of players who’d I’d trust to knock down free throws but they didn’t create those opportunities.I do blame refs.

Coaching wise, I wouldve put Fuller on Reaves regardless of the turnovers on Offense.
Bane is legit fouled every-time he goes into the lane. EVERY. He is so damn big it doesnt affect him. But he is.So we have nobody that can “sell it well”? That’s on us IMO.

I don't blame the refs for the loss, but I do remember saying out loud several times "how is that not a foul?!"So we have nobody that can “sell it well”? That’s on us IMO.

Refs should know better.What I hear both of you saying is that we don’t have anyone that knows how to sell a foul. Again...that’s on us.
Refs should know better.
