00:10 >> Well, I think they're long and they play really hard.
00:22 They have super active hands, that's why they force so many turnovers.
00:26 I thought they forced a bunch of, they poked and
00:30 they got some turnovers in the first half.
00:32 JV on had six, it's uncharacteristic in the first half.
00:35 I love how he responded.
00:37 He had zero in the second.
00:38 But just they play really hard, they have great active quick hands.
00:42 They get their hands on a lot of balls, they deflect, deflections.
00:45 But to me, I still, I mean, we were 26 for 58 from the field.
00:53 So we did some good things, but we missed some threes.
01:01 But I thought what got us was, I didn't think we played smart enough.
01:04 I think we messed up two switches at the end of the half.
01:07 They got to the rim and then they called a timeout and they got to the rim.
01:11 We fouled some jump shooters, and it all adds up.
01:14 There's a very small margin error when you play a team that good on the road.
01:19 I mean, you have a small margin error.
01:20 You can't be fouling jump shooters.
01:21 You can't be blowing switches.
01:25 We can miss shots and win.
01:26 I mean, we all can.
01:27 That doesn't get you beat.
01:29 We made some, we made some tiny mistakes.
01:32 And then you gotta credit TCU.
01:33 I thought Miller was outstanding.
01:35 I thought Avery Anderson was outstanding.
01:37 I thought he did some really good things.
01:38 I thought in the first half, Nelson was four for four.
01:42 He did some good things.
01:43 So we knew they wanted a rebound.
01:46 I'm just hearing their comments after Kansas.
01:48 I thought we did okay.
01:49 They got us a nine offensive rebounds, but I've seen them really pummel people
01:55 in the glass, but I thought they just, they play so hard and
01:59 they just keep coming at you, and I thought Miller was outstanding.
02:03 And we gotta play better if we're gonna win that game against TCU.

02:11 >> Go right back to you.
02:12 >> Kansas lost on the road today.
02:14 Houston lost on the road yesterday.
02:16 What does it say about the conference top to bottom that ranked teams can go on
02:20 the road and get challenged?
02:22 >> It's the life of the Big 12.
02:25 Every game, you're gonna turn around and play a team.
02:28 I mean, obviously TCU played great at Kansas, and they came back and
02:33 they came out with fire in their belly.
02:34 And I thought we played hard, I thought we battled, and we had our opportunities.
02:39 I thought we came out of the second half and tied it up.
02:42 And just didn't play smart enough.
02:44 And that starts with me, and you just have that margin there.
02:48 But this Big 12, I mean, it's every night.
02:51 I mean, everybody is, it's just every night.
02:57 >> Any additional questions for Coach?
03:01 All right, thanks, Coach.
03:02 >> Thanks, everybody.
