7-3 against the top of the conference and 2-6 against the bottom......not sure I've ever seen anything like that in 40 years watching college basketball.
How about beating Wiscy in the tournament last year.
An incredibly important win in more ways than one.
It would have been one thing if we had stopped the slide at home against an average team. That would have been like, "hey, they stopped the skid and got some positive thoughts going into postseason".
This one not only stopped the skid, but it should certainly bring the confidence and swagger back. Not many teams have the capability to go into senior day at the #7 team in the country and dominate them.
Not flinching when BU cut it to 4 was maybe the best part of the deal.
I was going to say the win in Norman.
7-3 against the top half of the Big 12 & 2-6 against the bottom half.
That one was surprising and not at the same time if that makes sense. Like the talent was there but we were sliding so hard to the point people were actually unsure if we would make the tournament before that. Without a doubt a contender for itI think the Donovan Jackson team winning at Phog was still crazy. This one is right there.

That's valid. I think beating one on the road with the losses we took before it makes it one thoughIt doesn't seem like it should be up there because we have beat a LOT of top 10 teams this year. This was never a bad team. It was a team that played bad several times over the the last month.
Yeah for me it also comes from it being the weekend after I drove to Nashville and back and watched that bad game there.That one was surprising and not at the same time if that makes sense.

Yeah, I think if you somehow win the one against WVU in Hilton on Monday, you get a different result today in all likelihood. But blowing out #7 on the road just does more for the mental side of the game for the guys at a critical time.An incredibly important win in more ways than one.

Memphis early last year, if only because we were all still hoping to be mediocre and competitive. I don't remember anyone thinking we had a real shot in that game, we just hadn't seen it yet against that level of talent. Hopefully today builds some confidence and leads to that same kind of run.
Win at top 5(?) K State in McDoormat's last regular season game.
Timing of when we were playing those teams and how were playing at the time contributed to this, but still quite odd.7-3 against the top of the conference and 2-6 against the bottom......not sure I've ever seen anything like that in 40 years watching college basketball.
McD only had one top 25 win in Ames his whole career here? Is that right? Jeebus.Keep in mind we hadn't beaten a single top 25 home or away in his tenure before this.
