That was a high level basketball game. Honestly I think it is KSU, TCU and Iowa State playing the best right. But the Top 6 of the Big 12 are completely capable of an Elite 8 run or beyond. Kansas City for the Big 12 Tournament is going to be next level.

Monster win by the Cyclones. Essentially down 1 1/2 starters (Grill was not near 100% tonight), Holmes and Gabe completely balled out. May have been Holmes' best game as a Cyclone. I love seeing the light continuing to come on for Osunniyi. As a team, you could say Cyclones showed great adaptability and beat KSU at their own game in the second half. Now gotta' get Caleb some rest and recovery.

Great team win, held serve at home in the conference, 6-2 with 10 conference games left and we have already beaten both the teams KSU and UT that we are tied with.

KSU is a very good team, and Nowell is one hell of a player. Now we need to get healthy, get Kunz back for the final stretch run and we are looking good.

We were supposed to finish 9-9. We're sitting at 6-2. Losses are going to happen in this conference, but as of right now we only have two of them. Get over them already.

Hell, we repeat that and have 2-3 more losses over the remaining big 12 schedule we still have a good shot at winning the conference.

Imagine watching that game and being like “we should have cruised to a 17 point win”.

I felt that way only during the sequence when our two clean blocks got turned into 4 ksu fts and put them in bonus. We were up 7-9 points at the time.

I think some of the more cracked Bracketologists have all 10 Big 12 teams in the NCAA Tournament, and most have at least 8 of 10. That's how much respect this league gets.

10 obviously wont happen because someone has to take losses, but you could argue we have 10 teams that'd make it if they weren't in the big 12.
