With Kansas losing looks like Texas will be ranked #1 going into Wednesdays game, I think they do the rankings on Monday. I know we're not playing well but its always exciting to be playing the top team in the country.

True. Maybe it will light a fire under the players' butts and they go out and play with some urgancy.

#1 Kansas got knocked off today on the road against a depleted Tennessee team. No reason Iowa State can't do it too!

I don't want to think of the mercilous, inhumane things Damion James and Dexter Pittman will do to us on the boards. This...could...get...ugly.

iowa state will have to knock down some threes to beat the longhorns .they will also have to knock down 95 percent of their free throws,too.

This has been the problem (well one of many) for several years... Can't win a big one. Great chance to wipe that away by playing #1! LETS GO CLONES!

Or not, but I have hope! :v_SPIN:

No reason we can't be the one that gets that win.

There are actually plenty of reasons...

- Rebounding
- Lack of a consistent 3rd scoring threat
- Toughness
- Brackins not playing up to potential
- Team chemistry
- Outmatched by talent

Are there reasons we could win? Yes, most of the above would need to be corrected or go well for us Wednesday night to at least have a shot. But there are certainly more reasons we will lose than those having us coming away with a win.

This game has epic blowout written all over it.

There should be more reasons that we (logically) will lose. They're #1 for a reason, and we're not. Some of those, this team could put together. For one game, anything can happen.

I agree - in another thread I said there's concern UT would break the Hilton record; 25-point loss. Let's hope we can bring our best season effort; we're gonna need it - UT is big, quick and physical.
