Re: Difficulty of Remaining Games
I think that road game in Morgantown, WV will be more of a challenge than people think...

WVU has been figuring things out, and it's at home...they'll be looking for revenge. Texas should be broken by now (both mentally and physically with injuries) so that doesn't worry me too much. KSU and KU still top 2 tilts coming up. Baylor and OU will provide their own challenges due to the empty gym syndrome that seems to plague our guys.
Re: Difficulty of Remaining Games
Right now OSU is playing the best, we are second, KU is third, and KSU is fourth. The rest are struggling including BU, OU, and UT. WVU, TT, and TCU are playing for next year.

Re: Difficulty of Remaining Games
Why is everyone putting @Baylor on top? They have like 5 fans in the stands during their home game?

and that's part of the problem. Lack of energy in a building can have as measurable an effect on the game as when there's a ton of energy. See Texas Tech. I don't necessarily think it belongs on top, but Baylor has the potential to be a very, very difficult matchup for us. Very long team with a PG who can get anywhere on the court that he wants. You saw it on saturday. Jackson is scary good. He's the kind of guy who can put a whole team on his back when he wants to.

Don't you think getting Kabongo back might give them a little bit of a lift?

I think the guys can get some energy going just because they are playing a solid Baylor team. I just think we hate playing crap teams.
Re: Difficulty of Remaining Games
Well, for me, Baylor has never won in Hilton (EVER) but has worked us in Waco recently. We beat the same KState team in Manhattan last year. I am starting to believe this year's Cyclone squad is better, all around, than last year.
As for WVU over Kansas...has anyone seen WVU play lately? They are improving, and we beat them by 2, on a last second layup, in Ames. We should have beaten Kansas in Lawrence...I think we match up well with Kansas.
I could go on, but these are primary reasons...for me.

Sure, but it all depends on how well he can play after sitting for so long. I know he'll be hungry to make a statement, but that doesn't always work out so well. Plus, he's missing an assist target in Holmes (who'll still be out) and he'll be taking minutes away from McClellan who is on a bit of a tear lately.
I dunno. I don't think one guy returning can rinse away the stink that is Texas basketball this year.

Its Waco. It seems to always have an effect on ISU. Look at last year, ISU got pounded.

At this point, I'm putting all remaining roads games ahead of all remaining home game.

Which is exactly why I put them ahead of OU. I doubt he plays very much against us, maybe 15-20 minutes, but I'm sure that will give them an extra boost.
