They can't play much worse than they have so far this half with under 4 minutes to go.

Missing every wide open three. Missing easy midrange jumpers. Turning the ball over with little pressure. Not rebounding on the defensive end when they WERE in POSITION TO REBOUND. Slow to the ball. Fouling non stop because they refuse to move their feet.

Crazy how bad they have played. Garrison is the only bright spot.

I am just going to stop watching. It is amazing to me how bad they consistently play when I watch. They have had to play better in the games that I have not watched to be able to win 11 conference games.

Well...I was wrong. They could play worse. What a disaster of 4 minutes.

I am done watching for sure. Wow. Terrible basketball.

Having experience trailing at the half has to help? Right? lol

IMO, this was the plan all along. Play bad to mediocre the entire game, hit a half court three at the buzzer to send it into OT and then win. Now Iowa State is over confident and will over look us. It’s starting to all come together. Coach Pope is a genius!

Oweh's performance is one of the all-time greatest in UK history. Let's hope he keeps it going on Sunday.

I've not been a big fan of BG all year, but I have to give him credit today. He made some huge game winning type plays. He hustled, played better defense, etc. We just need that from him every game. We were lucky to get through today and I hope we have our legs back Sunday.

Oh, and we definitely need Chandler to make some shots. Hopefully he got his bad game out of his system.

And Oweh! What a performance from him. One for the ages.

I am not even going to turn on the TV on Sunday. I am convinced they cannot play good basketball if I am watching. LOL.

Had an IU friend text me saying "You have to watch the last 15 seconds of the game". I said is it over and they said no it is in overtime. So I waited another 20 minutes to look for the result.

My curiosity has me wondering who will return next year and will they play better??? [Confused]

Critical year for a few reasons.
