You guys are looking for X’s and O’s and coaching solutions but there were some just some bigger things at play.

The free throw shooting is mental and the shot selection and missed shots tonight were just our shooters didn’t have their legs and it showed in our decisions and settling for too many 3’s.

They’re giving it all on the defensive end.  Realistically we may wake up with one of the best D’s in the country next week.

You can say all you want that they should be conditioned and whatever else but we know Kansas got to play cupcake city ND yesterday and had a longer turnaround and we went extra time against Houston with no Donnie.

Kansas got to watch us play Houston  yesterday and gameplan everything we did last night while we got back to the hotel at like 10 or 11. They schemed us well and took our bread and butter away.

Sometimes it’s just that simple. I agree we have offensive issues but sometimes the root cause is just a team having their legs and a better gameplan due to the turnaround and the other team not.

We see this plenty in ACC play with the Saturday /Monday games. Today we got about 4 hours less rest than Kansas and we had Houston.
