to this team and the coaches for a truly terrific regular season. It still seems to me like a team full of square pegs trying to fit into round holes but who cares? They have found a way over and over again...and their toughness on the road is just off the charts. Regardless of what is to come, I hope they are proud of themselves...they deserve to be.

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

So true. He does love these "grinder" games.
It was a really enjoyable and impressive win. Onward and upward!

"When I was a freshman, I remember Coach Naismith telling us how important it was to play good defense." - Mitch Lightfoot
I always feel like we're our own worst critics. Look back to some of the posts this year or any year...can't play defense, can't shoot, this guy/that guy can't (fill in the blank). Look around, and we're pretty dang good.
3 losses all year, one loss in the conference, best record in the conference since it went to 18 games, undefeated conference road slate....by ANY measure that's some impressive stuff.
So proud of this team.
I have almost zero interest in the Big 12 tournament and just want our guys to get through without any injuries. We've never been better positioned to go deep in the big dance, but considering that we were 1 back a couple weeks ago and now we own another banner with a 2 game cushion, this season has already been a huge success. A FF or NC would just be more delicious gravy to enjoy.
