Did we have any time outs left?
mcintosh looked bewildered to get the ball, at least chuck it up

They had 2 guys on Taylor as he crossed half court. Not much we could have done given the situation. There was no way Taylor was going to get a shot up and so he had no choice but to pass at that point and it allowed time to expire. Sucks, but it was excellent defense by Tech at the end.
Because of that pathetic situation we now have to play Oklahoma and if we are lucky enough to win that game, Kansas. That loss guarantees a losing season if we can't beat oklahoma. If we do beat OU we are .500 at best. Goodbye NIT.
excellent game by all the bigs.
Taylor had some nice assists, but dribbling off the foot and his other 7 turnovers really kill us.
It seemed like we played too well to lose this. Hope we show up like this in the big 12 tourney.

They certainly wouldn't risk fouling him and putting him on the line with 3 free throws.
Why Must god punish us like this first the Kansas@ISU S*** Reffing and now this :->>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Refs were beyond pathetic. I thought overall we played a pretty solid game, except for the stretch that we didn't score for like 5 minutes, but Tech is a solid ball club. Mike Taylor was dropping some major dimes, made some really stupid turnovers too and bad choice at the end...but he played alright.
Watching on TV, the only call I thought was crap was the "blocking" foul on Clark at about the 3 min mark with Jackson clearly charging IMO. I took advantage of Tivo on most every "controversial" call and that was the only one I believe was clearly missed.
This feels just like the FB loss at Kansas last season. It seemed the stars were aligning for us. All of the pieces had fallen into place and the Big 12 North title was within grasp. The only thing that failed was us.
All of the other things we needed to have happen today for a 6th place finish and a shot at the NIT happened.....except us winning.
The sports gods love to break our hearts.

There must have been at least 6 block/charge calls tonight, and every one of them went Tech's way. The block against Clark with about two minutes left in the game really hurt. Tech got two free throws out of it.
I liked the way ISU hung in there at the end. Too bad we couldn't get a shot off. I'd like to see the ball in someone other than Taylor's hands at the end of the game.
Certainly not as much significance with this game as the FB game, but it did seem like the stars were aligning for us today. I can see the analogy.
Agreed; it's an unfortunate fact that a senior with JJacks credentials is going to get that call. :sad9cd: Clark was in position for a day and a half!
The other play down the stretch that left me seething was when Mike T. got loose with the ball, got picked and let the freshman (white kid) have an uncontested lay-up. C'mon Mike; you're twice as fast as that guy so either run him off or block the shot! DO NOT stand by and let him lay it in...
