Well you can't control whether the refs call fouls but I do fault this team for reliance on hero ball instead of teamwork. This is another reason lack of depth hurts, you can't leave guys on the bench if they aren't executing the gameplan.

The refs were complete dog shit down the stretch and TCU got away with a ton. HOWEVER like I keep saying, if the team were properly prepared and played somewhat like the 2nd half in the 1st half we win easily and the refs aren't even a factor

Mobley just 3-11 from 3 this game which is not good. I wonder how he misses so many shots, it seems like every one is going to go in when he releases it, but 3-11 is not what the team needed today. Maybe he would shoot better if he slowed down a little.

On the bright side, I could care less about the rest of the tourney now that our boys lost. Supposed to be in the 80’s this weekend in SC. Lots of outdoor projects I can start on. Good, not great season. Bruce, I hope you have an NBA future! The rest of the team, keep practicing, growing, and developing. Someone has big shoes to fill at point guard. TIL next year….

This. Needed him just a little bit better, TCU scored in some spurts and we constantly played from behind until near the end. Shoulda woulda coulda. Good fight from the team to scrap and make the Tourney, it was fun to watch and especially to see Bruce make history.

Diebler seems to have trouble making adjustments on the fly as well it's like he thinks he has to wait till halftime

The initial strategy of basically letting TCU have and making them beat you jump shots isn't bad because they are not a good shooting team. Problem is when it's clear they are on and making most shots at that point you gotta adjust and that was a big part of them building that 15 point halftime lead

Opposite for me I like to enjoy the opening rounds at least but this game being first and the end result makes that hard now

I still that was the last play they drew up. Defies logic. You got to throw that ball much farther ahead and find Mobley for the final shot. 4 seconds is not enough time for Bruce to go 94 feet.

Or Bruce needed to inbound it deeper and get the ball back on a full sprint. Taking a standstill handoff from that distance…

That cannot be how he drew it up or practiced. I hope.

Dielbler is the definition of "meh". I don't hate him, but this is about his ceiling. It sucks that OSU's admin has totally blown off all other sports for football.

I think Diebler could probably be pretty successful in a MAC type setting, but I think to this point it's pretty clear that he is in over his head trying to get a major program past the point of just average.
