This team pisses me off. Play uninspired against teams like USF and Tulane, and come to play against top 10 quality teams on the road.

The way this team is playing today and the way we know they are capable of playing,we probably shouldn’t have lost but 1-2 games in OOC.

Broadcast crew is stupid. Igbanu clearly fouled on arm before the block.

Cronin should have been tossed. Twice.

That was the best 1/2 of BB in several years for Tulsa. The players are coming together to cover for Tap missing.

That was one awful call.
Missed calls like that happen in EVERY game EVERY night. Refs anticipate the foul is coming because of the strength of the move. It’s Ok that Cronin argues it and is unhappy, but his antics are tired. Haith does that and he’s in the locker room for the rest of the game

You’re not wrong but I’m choosing not to be pissed at this team at the moment. What a half!

I never expected to be up at the half on Cincy on the road. Considering the opponent and the injury to Taplin that was the best half of basketball we’ve played all year.

Again, the extreme focus because of the circumstances is great...why isn’t that preparedness, focus, and energy there EVERY game? His is the frustrating part of this team.

BTW, we have put up almost as many 1st half points as what Cincinnati allows per game

Great 1st half by TU, especially without Taplin! Still, we’re only up 3. I hate Cincinnati, but they have a very good team this year.

Winning 6 games in a row has built confidence in our team. Let’s hope we can keep it going against a Cincy team that is getting yelled at right now.

You are correct. The foul should have been called on #13. If they do that and tell Cronin it wasn’t on the block but the off man reaching, he probably doesn’t get a T. The call and then the foul on the wrong # is the reason coaches get pissed

Our passing was great in the first half. That’s hard to defend.

We are playing the K State game defense, except they are hitting the wide open 3s.

well it is 7 in a row now so maybe they have figured it out.

They can fix that. But the deal is Cronin so stupid that it doesn’t matter. Dood has something wrong with him. There isn’t a more disgusting person in college sports. Watch him closely some time. He’s always saying something horrible or doing something bizarre.

I’d say Sean Miller is more disgusting.

Hard to say. Miller was doing what everyone else was doing. It’s like getting mad at your grandparents for smoking.

Cronin doesn’t have to behave like that.

Both teams 9-14 from 3 in the first half. We ended the half on a 9-0 run. 2 amazing stats.

It’s a shame I’m traveling and didn’t get to see that half. Reading this thread has me pumped

Corey gets fouled, no call. Same play on other end and they get an “and 1.” We are fouled every time we have the ball in paint.

Need to settle the team down in this timeout and get back to playing the trapping matchup zone.

And run offense, no need to jack up shots or drive while double teamed

We’re going to get no calls from the refs this half. Might as well bomb it from deep because we’ll just get mugged on drives with no call.

This is so like the 2nd WSU game. We need to find a way to hang around. You know things are jacked up when Gary Clark is not only taking three’s, but hitting them

I think we have allowed 9 teams to get a season high number of threes against us. Please address this next year.
