Tough to see Tracy go out that way. Couldn't get anything to stay down in the last 10 minutes.
Sounded like one of those classic undisclosed team rules/discipline issues.Any comments from Walker about why Kipper did not play?

Malcolm 9-18. Everyone else 10-44. Ouch.
I'll remember Malcolm as a tremendous player who needed a little more help. Tracy as a gritty warrior that fought through tremendous adversity. Maverick as a guy who really improved and became a very good player as a senior. Thanks guys.
Affect Thorne, as well?
Was that kid who pulled the flopperini at midcourt the same one who pulled it at ISU for that last second freethrow?
Arguably one of the highest levels of win achieved to date in program history

He played quite a bit on Monday, I wonder if he was healthy enough to play tonight.
If Abrams...or JCL could've hit anything tonight...we probably win. Hill's a helluva player

JCL hit some beauties in the first half. i was at the game and they looked so slow in the first half walking the ball up against that team is UNFORGIVABLE!!!! The 7ft 6 guy was already set in position more than 5 seconds before the ball crossed the center line. If we pushed it they were tired they only have 6 scholarship players for crying out loud. We never pressured the ball either full court or had any sort of half court trap. if the ball did get into the big guys hands on offense he looked pretty lost with it if he couldn't dunk it. All in all a pretty poor showing regarding Walkers ability to run any sort of quick tempo offense. As they say look forward to seeing the kids who are returning run an offense that moves the ball at something other than a crawl. i think they will know for sure "it is hard to be great"
That is the big question: Did Groce (and staff) fail to develop their potential OR was Groce just misguided in not giving Williams and Jordan enough playing time to grow into the college game OR were these guys just not as talented as advertised?JCL will have to learn to play defense if he hopes to play in Underwood's system. He plays
too much "Matador" defense. He must also must develop a short range jumper. I do not
understand what has happened to AJ's shooting. He shooting ability was much better last
year. I hope that he and Willams stay with the program because they came with so much
potential. I liked their attitude even though their playing time was limited. One of my main
criticisms of Groce is the young players did not improve significantly over the past two years.
