Can we agree that they were the 36th team selected and be done with this?
No.Evidently it must go on forever. Like this thread

Interesting perspective: I spoke to a Syracuse fan today at a party, and he thought that TCU had figured out their zone very well and was picking it apart in the second half but just couldn’t sink shots. This was surprising because I felt like we never really did a good job of breaking the zone.
There was also an OU fan there who thought he knew a lot more than he did. He said TCU is not a great shooting team but that our defense won us games. I don’t think he watched any of our games ...

Because he owns the worst FT % in the last 30 years for a point guard. 57% is what they made jokes about Shaq for. It's a sign of laziness and weakness. I wasn't shocked to see him quoted before the game as just wanting to win a game in the tourney. Every other team is thinking "let's go win the whole thing."
A winner says I'm going to raise my FT shooting from 61% to 75% in the off season. AR get's worse.
I'm not too thrilled that Noi really tanked with his FT shooting in the last ten games either. 60% FT's? Dude hit 43% on his 3's. It's just ridiculous. There is a correlation that when you start missing FT's, your confidence goes for the rest of your game which we seemed to see with Noi. It seems we just don't have enough priority on this. Ironically, we were saying the exact same thing a year ago when we lost several games to miss the tourney last year for the same reason.
I agree with the Syracuse fan. We were getting the ball in open spots on a lot of our possessions, but then it turns into a personnel problem. Arob turns the ball over way too much and can’t hit free throws. He’s ok in the middle of the zone, but ideally you’d like to have someone Bane’s size. They tried Miller there to get more size and seal some of the top defenders off. Our guys just didn’t trust what they were seeing and with their length you can’t hesitate on shots or passes.

I agree the ARob FT% should improve.
However the Arob turns it over too much argument is incorrect.
He is in the top of the league in assist/to ratio and minutes played.
Would provably be 1 or 2 in assists and minutes played since Jay Fish went out.
Edit: truthfully, every player in the country could say they aim to improve FT% and reduce TO's in the coming year.

Are you serious? He’s a good basketball player and always gives it his all. Not the most talented but makes the best of what he’s got. Imagine how our season would havw played out without him?
Also Fisher is a better shooter but he can make some really dumb mistakes. His shooting would have helped against Syracuse but as we just saw their zone is really tough. When they can beat Michigan St in Detroit we shouldn’t feel bad.
Saying Robinson isn’t a good player is just stupid. For TCU and where our program is he’s a solid player. We couldn’t even win conference games a few years ago and now we are acting like we trot out Derrick Rose level PGs. But you guys would probably think DRose was trash since he couldn’t shoot FTs.

Alex Robinson is 6th in the big 12 in assist to TO ratio behind:
Devonte Graham
Jevon Carter
Another WVU guard
KSU guard - stokes
TCU - Kenrich Williams
Seems like he may not have the TO’s to fit the narrative so many have that he is a TO machine. He had 8 assists and 3 TO’s in the tourney. That ratio would essentially be a tie with Devonte Graham as the best in the conference. He is not the scapegoat that people so desperately want.
Our whole team struggled with free throws save for Vlad, singling our Robinson is kinda dumb. All in all, he’s a pretty solid player.
We lacked an inside defensive enforcer and a pure shooter/scorer from the wing, and the loss of Fisher was hard to overcome. Having that one guy that can break down his defender and get a good look one-on-one is critical, especially now with a 30-second clock. We didn’t really have that. Hopefully we keep getting a little better every year.

Not sure about conference stats but NCAA national stats as of 3/17/18 have Arob ranked 18th in assists but only ranked 156 in assist / TO ratio. 190 assists/ 101 turnovers.

I had my mourning period up until Saturday night.
No social media and sports on TV.
I am over it, they had a great season and we have some stud recruits that will play next year.
