I will tell you something that isn’t right from a ranking prospective. Kansas State NOT being ranked this week. They will be though..

Oh boy....Just enjoy it game by game. I still have visions of that 8 minute scoring drought against OU. Both road games basically came down to one possession. They won't all go our way. But, yes, love your thinking and proud of this team with a great conference start.
So much bad officiating, but one that wasn't even subjective was with about 10 seconds left, the ball went high in the air. The TCU guy stepped out of bounds, jumped and caught the ball, then landed in bounds. That is so obviously TCU out of bounds, but refs missed it. These Big 12 refs just aren't even looking where they need to look so many times. Higgins is also very, very guilty of this all the time. Inattentive. Just inexcusable.
Appears so! Two on-the mother-freaking-road-in the B12. Should be Q0.1 wins, really.
What's so daunting about it? If a guy does a ninja kick into the defender it's not a defensive foul. If he shoots like a normal person and somebody runs into him it's a foul.
This game isn't complicated.
They get paid thousands of dollars + travel expenses. I could manage to deal with it.
I assume any big 12 road win is quad 1. The bottom big 12 team is in the mid 40s in NET right now.
We not only beat the horny toads we beat the skunk also guiding there team
Last two games would’ve been losses under Prohm and probably FH.
I know this is game day thread, but noticed Ward didn't even get out of his warm ups. Injury?
Because with the foul problems down low, another body even if spot duty might have helped.
And until Bob improves his FT shooting he may not need to be on the floor during crunch time.

My thoughts about this game before tip-off was "I really want to win it, but I hope we are at least competitive (i.e. no Iowa game disaster) even if we lose." The way our guys met every challenge to TCUs punches was amazing to behold. That's why, when we started to make some questionable decisions with our play in that last 2.5 minutes, my thinking was - "It'd be a tragedy to lose this game now." Lipsey played very well for 99% of the game - but I was a little frustrated with 3 key mistakes: poor entry pass to Tre, forcing a lob pass to Rob rather than pulling the ball back out, and then his foul on Miles. So thankful for Osun and, obviously, Gabe for that last offensive possession to get us the win! (BTW, I love Lipsey & will take that type of performance by him on any night - just sucked that he had three key mistakes in a short time span).
I hate refs, shouldn't have come to that. At least the better team won.
OU is at 60 entering today. So that *might* slip to a Quad 2 eventually. But all others are mid-40s or higher.
Gabe hitting the 3 was karma for the stooge on TCU who kept throwing his legs out after shooting a 3 trying to get a bogus foul.
I like TCU's court. It would be sweet if ISU did a tornado theme court.

Pretty sad and pathetic our next four games are not on a cable available network.
Fran seemed genuinely pissed at those “kick” fouls. Like beyond just calling the game pissed. I tend to agree with him, but how do you really feel, Fran?
Yeah, I was like why don’t you terminate your contract with ESPN and join the good guys at the Cyclone Radio Network right now. lol
No panic in this team.
What I like is that Grill is looking for his 3 point shot and the other three guys are not afraid to take their type of shot when the play has them open.
Another defensive gem by the team, especially Gabe.
