    Refs are letting the crowd control their calls. UT is getting hammered every time they come inside and are getting no calls.

    Horns will have to pull out another comeback in the 2nd half.

    Texas needs to just calm down. But being down 10 points is not good against a very good KSU team. :/

    Absolutely. They're not going to get the calls. They just have to play their game and good things will happen.

    I can handle a UConn loss, just don't wanna lose in the conference as tough as the BIG 12 is this year.

    We're coming back, but I'm still on edge. My girlfriend and my dog hate me right now. They took their toys and went upstairs. :rolleyes:

    Our poor FT shooting is going to catch up to us eventually. No excuse to shoot below 50% fts

    Think Texas will probably lose this one. Too many turnovers and missed FT's.

    Wow, they're killing themselves at the line.

    Has this been a problem all season?

    They dug too much of a hole in the 1st half and K State is winning on the boards.

    This is one of the biggest free throw meltdowns I've ever seen. It's unreal. You almost have to be afraid to drive because of what happens on contact.

    Not sure Texas can come back from this one.

    (Missed layup just now)

    Game over.

    The team is shooting under 63% on the year from the FT line. We won't make it past the 2nd round if that doesnt improve, book it.

    Sucks that we lost but rather now than later.

    Hook em

    Are they a relatively bad FT shooting team or is this an anomaly?

    This is really something else. 39% free throw shooting, countless blown layups, zero presence on the boards...

    They're bad, but this is just insane. They've hovered around 65% for most of the year.

    If they shot their season average, this would be a tight game.

    That's just poor concentration. It's not like they play back-to-backs.

    Two point-blank layups missed by Damion James. Point blank. Just hard to believe.

    Two open men on the break and he tries to jump around the guy from 10 feet out and comes up short.

    That's a losing play.

    KS hasn't been much better from the line.

    Texas dug themselves in a big hole and used up a lot of energy to get back into it to start the half.

    They're getting outrebounded by 11 and generally making bad plays down the stretch.

    Next to epic meltdown in the dictionary, there needs to be a link to this game. I've never seen one basketball team completely self-destruct, with next to zero contribution from the other team, the way Texas has tonight.
