Frogs not playing great but staying in it. Wish we had more size but the guys play hard every night. If they can keep it close I like our chances tonight.

Wow understand that TCU might not win this game. But, if you are listening to the announcers talk nothing but Kansas you would think TCU was getting blown out already not up by 2.

Missed calls or not, you can’t close out the half shooting 1-10 and let them go on a 10-0 run in 2 minutes. Happens anytime we have a lead before the end of a half or end of game.
