Yeah, this is a very bad loss -- we gotta get a decent road win now to cancel that out (i.e. OU, OSU, Kstate)

KSU plays much more rugged defense than Tech. This could be a low scoring affair.

WV played awesome for about 9 minutes. TCU and TT played fairly average in my opinion.

This goes down as not just a bad loss, but a horrible loss. A team that loses to a team that has not beaten a top 200 RPI team yet, as ISU did tonight, does not make the NCAA.

It's not just that they lost this game. They played horribly against TCU, and they nearly blew it against WVU at home. I will be absolutely amazed if they can come close to K-State on Saturday. And if they do manage to beat them.......then where the hell was that team tonight?

This team has no floor leadership, and the 5th year seniors don't seem to care what happens. No drive, no energy. As much as I hate to say it, at least part of that has to go on the coaching staff as well as the players.

You guys are acting like the season is over, but it is not. Texas Tech played the game of their season, and we sucked it up tonight. Saturday's game against Kansas State just became a must-win for us. While it's a horrible loss, Iowa State can still make the NCAA tourney.

I get your point, but besides Gray playing an outstanding game for them, I thought TT looked every bit as terrible as I thought they would be. We have played this way for 3 games. We can make the tourney, but not if we continue down this path.

People get way too worked up. It's a freaking GAME people. Some of you act like it's life or death. I feel sorry for those that feel that way.

Awful loss. If you are calm after this one, then you arn't a true fan.

I'm certainly not happy with how we played tonight. We absolutely stunk it up against an improving but bad Texas Tech team. I'm just saying that it's way too early especially with a big five-game stretch to say that the season is over. If we play like we did tonight, we'll lose all five games. I think that Hoiberg will have the guys ready for K-State on Saturday, and hopefully this game is a big wake-up call for this team.

People keep saying IF we play like this the rest of the season yadda yadda. People were saying IF we play like we did at Kansas yadda yadda. The truth is college athletics are unpredictable. Plus this was the second trip to Texas in four days

Stupid post. Unless this team goes on a tear the season is over. Oh and ttu didn't play the game of their life.
